GENERAL BAKING INFORMATION:
14. Under baking is a common fault. Most lean hearth breads are
best baked in a hot oven preheated to 425˚ F to 450˚F (218 ˚C
to 232˚C ) until the crust takes on a rich , deep brown colour.
Use the lower end of this range for large loaves and the hotter
temperatures for small products. Small products need a higher
temperature so the crust browns sufficiently in the shorter
baking time. A well browned crust has a richer flavour because
of the well caramelized starchy and the brown proteins. Pale
golden crust has a blander flavour. In addition, taking care to
bake the bread fully ensures a crisp crust that is less likely to be
soften by excessive moisture from the interior of the bread .
15. Steam should be used for at least the first 15minutes of baking.
Injecting moisture into the oven delays the formation of the crust
so the bread can expand fully. Thus the crust will be thin and crisp
rather than thick and hard. The moisture also affects the starches
on the surface of the bread, aiding in creating a more attractively
browned crust.
16. Kneading
It's difficult to over-knead dough by hand, but it's actually very easy
to do with a machine, so check it fairly often. Kneading one loaf's
worth of white-bread dough by hand should take about 10 minutes.
Kneading two loaves' worth takes almost double the time. It takes
longer for whole-wheat flour as well. (An all-whole-wheat loaf
would take twice as long to knead, but you'll seldom make an all-
whole-wheat loaf.)
Kneading does three crucial things for bread: it distributes the yeast
and other ingredients evenly and thoroughly, it develops the gluten
in the dough, and it introduces air. The gluten, or wheat protein, is
what enables the dough to stretch instead of collapsing when the
yeast grows inside it. If the gluten isn't developed, the dough won't
rise well and will produce a heavy loaf - rather like a brick.
17. • Some bread recipes call for a second kneading
just before the dough is added to the loaf pans.
Professional bakers call this benching and shaping
the dough.
• Step 1
Start with dough that has been measured and
mixed properly.
• Step 2
Turn the dough out on a clean, floured work
surface.
• Step 3
Flour your hands well.
18. Step 4
Use the heel of your hands to compress and push the dough away from
you, then fold it back over itself.
Step 5
Give the dough a little turn and repeat Step 4. Put the weight of your
body into the motion and get into a rhythm.
Step 6
Keep folding over and compressing the dough until it becomes smooth
and slightly shiny, almost satiny. Check your recipe for specifics. The
most common test for doneness is to press it with your finger. If the
indentation remains, it's ready for rising. You can also try stretching part
of the dough into a rectangle. If it can stretch into a thin sheet without
breaking, you've kneaded it enough.
19. Purposes of mixing of dough
• The first two purposes of mixing—
• combining the ingredients into a dough
• and distributing the yeast—are accomplished
during the first part of this step.
• The remaining time is necessary to develop the
gluten.
20. Under mixing of dough
• Under mixed dough's have poor volume and
texture .
• Rich dough's are generally under mixed
slightly because a greater tenderness is desired
for these products. Rye breads are also mixed
less because of their weaker gluten, which
tears easily.
21. Over mixing of dough
• Over mixing is a common error in bread making.
• Gluten that is developed too long has stretched
nearly as far as it can and loses its elasticity. Then
it tears instead of stretches, and molding is more
difficult. The texture and volume of over mixed
products are less desirable.
• Salt, used in proper quantities, helps alleviate this
problem because it makes gluten stronger and
more elastic.
