100

In bread making fermentation is not possible without _____. It is essential in yeast's life cycle. The amount of _______(same word) will effect the fermentation speed.

hard flour had higher protein contents and lower starch while soft flours have high starch contents and lower protein

bread- hard

cake + pastry- soft

I must use 40% of the weight of instant

so = 35g / 0.4= 14g of Active dry yeast

i will now need to accommodate for all the extra water and reduce

400

What is diastase malt syrup used for in bread production?

Short fermentation times, because the enzyme aids in the breaks down of starch to sugar

500

rye has little to no gluten forming proteins

600

the stages of mixing are 

1. pick up

2.preliminary development

3. elasticity development

4. final gluten development

True or False

true

600

what are the 3 functions to folding/punching?

Develops gluten to strengthen dough

equalizes temp

expels large pockets of gas

600

true or false?

Sugar, although it is food for our yeast, it actually inhibits activity if over 10%. While salt can destroy yeast by just being in direct contact of it

true

600

The browning that is a result of protein and sugar being heated at high temperatures together, this is called?

The Maillard Reaction

600

Chlorinating agents it cake and pastry flour affect the properties (of starch) how?

The acidity lower the ph to 4.5, compromising the protein

the chlorinating process also allows starches to swell more readily to absorb water, thus gelatinizing at lower temps helping to stablie high sugar formuls

so basicallllyyyyy lower protein activity and higher starch levels 

700

What makes no-time dough different?

No time dough has additives that increase fermentation, like ascorbic acid

700

name 4 functions of fat in yeast products

Shortens gluten strands

Tenderizes

Gives final product finer grain

Increase keeping quality

adds flavour

700

_______ yeast has a low moisture content and is coated with an emulsifier to prevent excess moisture loss. This means it can be added directly to the dough 1 of 3 ways: 

Add all ingredients, but yeast, and mix on low foe 35-45 secs, the add yeast to bowl

combine all dry indigents in bowl and mix on low for 30-40 sec, then add water

whisk yeast in to warm water to start fermentation process

Instant dry yeast 

700

what does BFT mean?

Bulk fermentation time, also know as fermentation; the 3rd step in the yeast production steps

aka fermentation time, bench or floor time

700

What component of flour converts into sugar to feed the yeast in a bread formula that doesn't have sugar?

for double points, can you tell me what two enzymes are responsible for this process, be specific :)

Starch

Starch converts to sugar with the help of A(alpha) amylase and B(beta) amylase. A conditions the starch and B converts them into maltose

humectants are used to?

reduce moisture loss, they slow down the recrystallization of the starches, for example malt syrup is a good humectants because they compete with the starches for water
