Introduction to trainee manual
To the Trainee
Congratulations on joining this course. This Trainee Manual is one part of a ‘toolbox’
which is a resource provided to trainees, trainers and assessors to help you become
competent in various areas of your work.
The ‘toolbox’ consists of three elements:

A Trainee Manual for you to read and study at home or in class

A Trainer Guide with Power Point slides to help your Trainer explain the content of the
training material and provide class activities to help with practice

An Assessment Manual which provides your Assessor with oral and written questions
and other assessment tasks to establish whether or not you have achieved
competency.
The first thing you may notice is that this training program and the information you find in
the Trainee Manual seems different to the textbooks you have used previously. This is
because the method of instruction and examination is different. The method used is called
Competency based training (CBT) and Competency based assessment (CBA). CBT and
CBA is the training and assessment system chosen by ASEAN (Association of SouthEast Asian Nations) to train people to work in the tourism and hospitality industry
throughout all the ASEAN member states.
What is the CBT and CBA system and why has it been adopted by ASEAN?
CBT is a way of training that concentrates on what a worker can do or is required to do at
work. The aim is of the training is to enable trainees to perform tasks and duties at a
standard expected by employers. CBT seeks to develop the skills, knowledge and
attitudes (or recognise the ones the trainee already possesses) to achieve the required
competency standard. ASEAN has adopted the CBT/CBA training system as it is able to
produce the type of worker that industry is looking for and this therefore increases
trainees chances of obtaining employment.
CBA involves collecting evidence and making a judgement of the extent to which a worker
can perform his/her duties at the required competency standard. Where a trainee can
already demonstrate a degree of competency, either due to prior training or work
experience, a process of ‘Recognition of Prior Learning’ (RPL) is available to trainees to
recognise this. Please speak to your trainer about RPL if you think this applies to you.
What is a competency standard?
Competency standards are descriptions of the skills and knowledge required to perform a
task or activity at the level of a required standard.
242 competency standards for the tourism and hospitality industries throughout the
ASEAN region have been developed to cover all the knowledge, skills and attitudes
required to work in the following occupational areas:

Housekeeping

Food Production

Food and Beverage Service
© ASEAN 2013
Trainee Manual
Prepare and produce yeast goods
1
Introduction to trainee manual

Front Office

Travel Agencies

Tour Operations.
All of these competency standards are available for you to look at. In fact you will find a
summary of each one at the beginning of each Trainee Manual under the heading ‘Unit
Descriptor’. The unit descriptor describes the content of the unit you will be studying in the
Trainee Manual and provides a table of contents which are divided up into ‘Elements’ and
‘Performance Criteria”. An element is a description of one aspect of what has to be
achieved in the workplace. The ‘Performance Criteria’ below each element details the
level of performance that needs to be demonstrated to be declared competent.
There are other components of the competency standard:

Unit Title: statement about what is to be done in the workplace

Unit Number: unique number identifying the particular competency

Nominal hours: number of classroom or practical hours usually needed to complete
the competency. We call them ‘nominal’ hours because they can vary e.g. sometimes
it will take an individual less time to complete a unit of competency because he/she
has prior knowledge or work experience in that area.
The final heading you will see before you start reading the Trainee Manual is the
‘Assessment Matrix’. Competency based assessment requires trainees to be assessed in
at least 2 – 3 different ways, one of which must be practical. This section outlines three
ways assessment can be carried out and includes work projects, written questions and
oral questions. The matrix is designed to show you which performance criteria will be
assessed and how they will be assessed. Your trainer and/or assessor may also use
other assessment methods including ‘Observation Checklist’ and ‘Third Party Statement’.
An observation checklist is a way of recording how you perform at work and a third party
statement is a statement by a supervisor or employer about the degree of competence
they believe you have achieved. This can be based on observing your workplace
performance, inspecting your work or gaining feedback from fellow workers.
Your trainer and/or assessor may use other methods to assess you such as:

Journals

Oral presentations

Role plays

Log books

Group projects

Practical demonstrations.
Remember your trainer is there to help you succeed and become competent. Please feel
free to ask him or her for more explanation of what you have just read and of what is
expected from you and best wishes for your future studies and future career in tourism
and hospitality.

Explanation
Acidity
Sourness is the taste caused by the presence of acids in solution.
Different types of fermentation produce different acids. When milk
sours, lactic acid is formed, and when vinegar is made from apples or
grain, ascetic acid is formed. Sour rye bread is made by the addition of
sours or ferments containing bacteria, which produce various acids, but
mostly lactic and ascetic.
Alcohol
The alcohol formed during the fermentation of sugar by yeast is ethyl
alcohol, the same alcohol found in beer and whisky (chemically known
as ethanol)
Ambient Temperature
Temperature of the surrounding area, room temperature
Antioxidant
A material which, when added to a product, extends the life of the
product by protecting it against oxidisation.
Appearance
Visual stimulation, whether or not it looks attractive
Ascorbic acid
Vitamin C
Baking Time

Element 1:
Prepare and bake yeast goods
1.1 Select required commodities according to
recipe and production requirements
Flour
Wheat is the prime grain that flour is obtained from for the baking industry. White flour is
the most popular flour. This is because other parts of the wheat grain are harsh and are
unpopular with the general public. This is not to say they are not good to eat.
The following information relates to doughs for bread and yeast goods, not pastry.
Flour consists of the following elements on average:
Starch
64 – 71%
Protein
9 – 14%
Sugar
2 – 4%
Moisture
11 – 15%
Fat
1 – 2%
Enzymes
naturally occurring in wheat flour
STARCH 64% – 71%, provides main body structure through gelatinisation – bursts
(through heat) and swell.
Starch is broken down by enzymes into simple sugars, which are to be used by yeast as
food.
PROTEINS Soluble: 9 – 14%
Gluten is formed when insoluble proteins (Glutenin and Gliadin) are hydrated with
moisture, normally water.
The combination of these two proteins allows the flour to ‘take up’ water and hold the
moisture within the gluten structure. When this gluten is developed it becomes tough and
elastic allowing bread dough to expand and hold gas produced during fermentation
In unleavened dough like pastry this gluten structure allows for it to be stretched out over
a large area without breaking.
It is grey, tasteless and is tough and slightly elastic.
Glutenin - gives strength.
Gliadin - provides elasticity.
SOLUBLE PROTEINS: 1% –2%, Albumin, Globulin and Protease.
© ASEAN 2013
Trainee Manual
Prepare and produce yeast goods
11
Element 1: Prepare and bake yeast goods
SUGAR
Sucrose 2 – 4%: all plant material naturally contains sugar.
1.5 – 2% is sufficient for gas production up to 5 hours (Bulk
Ferment Time) plus glucose, plus dextrose (inversion of cane
sugar).
If flour is low in these sugars, malt can be added to formulae, to
allow longer Bulk Fermentation Times. (BFT)
MOISTURE 11 – 15%
The natural proportion of water depends on conditions of growth, storage and milling.
Wheat is a hard grain and needs to be soaked in water to aid the milling process.
There are laws pertaining to the amount of moisture allowed in flour. In Australia it cannot
be more than 15%.
FAT 1– 2%; this contains carotene, the colouring pigment of flour.
ENZYMES
Diastatic – Amylase change starch in sugars.
Proteolytic – Conditions the proteins
Responsible to soften the gluten, dough tolerance is reduced and could cause collapsing
of the bread, especially in wholemeal products.
Factors influencing flour behaviour:

Quantity and quality of gluten

Diastatic capacity, the ability to change starch into sugars to provide food for the yeast
to ferment through enzymatic activity.
Salt
Salt is a natural mineral that consists of 6 parts chlorine and
4 parts sodium.
Functions of Salt are:

Controls fermentation

Toughens gluten (stabilising it)

Increases volume

Enhances flavours in bread and provides product with its characteristic flavour

Controls dough – lack of salt results in doughs which are sticky and are difficult to
handle

Increases shelf life: acts as an antiseptic - suppresses activity of bacteria, is
hydroscopic – attracts moisture

Improves crust colour.

Prepare and produce yeast goods
Element 1: Prepare and bake yeast goods
Yeast
Baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is manufactured
specially for the production of Yeast Goods.
It is a unicellular organism yet each microscopic cell contains a
multitude of enzymes capable of carrying out the most intricate
series of chemical reactions.
Because it is a living organism, baker’s yeast is very perishable and must have optimum
storage conditions.
Compressed yeast should be stored in dark and cool conditions, it is best used for up to
two weeks after manufacture, as it slowly loses its strength.
Yeast produces carbon dioxide and Ethyl alcohol, by changing sugars.
The activity of yeast is destroyed at temperatures above 55°C. and may be severely
impaired at temperatures over 45°C.
Production of Flavour
Imparts flavours during fermentation through flavour substances such as organic acids,
esters, alcohols and ketones.
Nutrition
Yeast is rich in protein and B Vitamins. It must not come into direct contact with salt,
sugar or fat.
Available Forms of Yeast

Compressed

Dried

Creamed or liquid.
Rate of Fermentation and Yeast Activity
These are controlled by the following:




Sugar quantity:

Up to 5.0% speeds up fermentation

Over 5.0% slows down or retards fermentation
Water added to the dough:

More water makes softer doughs - faster rate

Less water makes tighter doughs - slower rate
Dough temperature:

The warmer the dough temperature, faster rate of fermentation

The cooler the dough temperature the slower the rate of
fermentation
Acidity:

4 – 6 pH range. Outside these, activity is slower

Trainee Manual
Prepare and produce yeast goods
13
Element 1: Prepare and bake yeast goods

Yeast Quantity:

Lower quantities of yeast will result in longer proof.
Amounts of salt and fat also inhibit the rate of fermentation or the activity of yeast.
Remember: yeast is a living thing. It needs to be cared for and used properly.
Water

Hydrates gluten forming proteins (Gliadin and Glutenin)

Dissolves and disperses salt and sugars and carries sugars to the yeast which it can
only use in liquid form

Provides moisture for yeast to grow

Hydrates dry yeast and disperses both dry and
compressed

Controls dough temperature

Controls dough consistency

Wets and swells starch during baking (gelatinisation) –
makes it available to analyse enzymes

Controls enzyme activity (enzymes are active only in liquid or semi liquid mediums)

Increases shelf life

Contributes to eating qualities.
Bread Improvers

Ensures additional food supply for yeast

Contains malt which is changed into maltose and changes starch into simple sugar
easily fermentable by yeast

Contains chemical stimulants ensuring adequate source of nitrogen – essential for
building up protein in newly forming yeast cells

Modifies gluten so that the dough is mature as it comes from the mixer. This is
required to hold increased CO2 Gas produced by the fermenting yeast.
Dough Improvers basically assist in 2 areas –

GAS PRODUCTION

GAS RETENTION
This is what makes a yeast dough rise.

Element 1: Prepare and bake yeast goods
The addition of fat to Yeast Goods will improve bread quality and although fat is not an
essential ingredient, it is important in assisting the slicing of the product, especially when
slicing bread, by lubricating the slicer blades.
Fat contributes to the volume, softer texture, brighter crumb
colour and better keeping qualities. There are many fats
available to the baking industry and some are specially
manufactured to contain other compounds such as emulsifiers
(TEM and SSL). Some fats contain sugar and others may
contain water.
It should always be remembered that butter provides better flavour to the product when
deciding upon what type of fat to use.
Effects of fat

Improves slicing

Softer crumb

Shorter eating crumb

softer crust

Better keeping qualities

Increases volume

Shorter eating crust

Emulsified fats retard crumb

Enhances firmness.
Sugar
Level:

Up to 5% increases fermentation

Over 5% retards fermentation.
Effects of sugar

Softens crumb

Sweetens

Increases crust and whiter crumb colour

Increased levels slacken or weaken the dough

Greater water retention (stays moist, therefore better shelf-life)

Better eating qualities, but high quantities result in bread flavour loss.

Element 1: Prepare and bake yeast goods
Milk Powder
Level:
“Food Standards” stipulate that Milk Bread must contain 4% non-fat milk solids on the dry
crumb.
The purpose of this regulation is to increase the food value in protein and mineral content,
therefore Skim Milk Powder (reduced fat) is mostly used.
Effects of Milk Powder in the baked products:

Brighter and softer crumb

Reddish brown (foxy) crust colour, due to lactose (milk sugar),
which cannot be used by yeast as food

Increased nutritional value and flavour

Greater volume (due to strengthening of gluten strands by the
case in protein)

Slight sweetness (due to lactose).
Eggs
Eggs can be purchased as follows:

Shell Egg

Liquid Egg or Egg Pulp

Frozen Egg
Effects of eggs

Moistening

Enriching due to fat in the yolk

Increased nutritional value

Emulsifying, due to lecithin in the yolk, therefore better keeping qualities

aids structure, due to the proteins, which coagulate at 65 to
70oC

Better colour and appearance to baked product

Better eating qualities

Better keeping.
As egg is added to a formulae, water has to decrease (in re-formulations)

Bran
Bran is the by-product of the brake system after all the available endosperm has been
removed. Bran can vary in particle size and composition, depending on both wheat type
and the efficiency of the milling system. Some bran is sold for Human Consumption as it
is a good source of insoluble dietary fibre.
Effects of Bran

Darker crumb colour

Lower volume, due to the non-gluten forming proteins

Increased water levels

Shorter mixing times

Higher fibre intake, assisting in bowel function.
Dried Fruit
Dried fruits evolved as a way of preserving excess fruits when
they were in abundance to be enjoyed when fruits were not
readily available because of the season.
European seasons are extreme so little food is grown in
winter. Drying of fruits made them available for Christmas and
Easter celebrations.
Almost any dried fruit or nut can be added to yeast goods.
Most commonly dried fruits used are sultanas, currants, raisins, mixed peel and dates.
All fruit should be washed prior to use and then thoroughly dried, to avoid discolouration
of the dough.
Nuts
The most commonly used nuts are hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds
and peanuts.
Nuts have a very high fat content. Large amounts used in bread
making need the addition of extra yeast and also extra gluten.
Effects of dried fruits and nuts

Eating qualities

Texture

flavour

Colour

Increased moisture

Increased shelf life


product characteristics
Variety of Yeast Goods
Yeast goods are defined as a sweet dough product. Bread is produced with yeast and is
the savoury version.
A sweet yeast product would be any dough with more than
5% sugar and increased levels of fat.
Some plain doughs that are served with savoury products
like a hamburger is actually a ‘bun’ and not a ‘roll’.
Many products are classed as yeast goods.

Element 1: Prepare and bake yeast goods
Panatone
This delicate and porous rich festive bread is studded with sultanas
and flavoured with candied citrus peel.
It is baked in tall cylindrical moulds and can be served with cream or
fresh mascarpone.
To develop rich yeasty flavours, the dough is sometimes prepared
in several stages with prolonged maturing times in between.
Gingerbread doughs
This dough is a multipurpose dough and can be used for a variety of products. By adding
different spices and/or fruit, different shapes can be given or cut out and after baking
coated with icings or chocolate. The dough is also suited for making
gingerbread houses.
It is important not to overheat the honey at the initial stage, as it may
crystallise, rendering it useless for the dough. The honey is best heated
to 65°C, then allowed to cool to 35°– 40°C, to avoid burning the flour.
The flavour of the gingerbread will improve if the dough is prepared well ahead of use,
adding the raising (lifting) agents only just prior to using the dough.
Always use quality spices in order to achieve optimum flavour.
Gingerbread dough is baked at 180°C.
Honey cake (Israel)
This cake is traditionally served on the Sabbath and at festivals,
particularly at the beginning of the New Year, in order to sweeten
the hope for a happy year ahead.
Tsoureki (Greece)
This traditional sweet bread can be found during any major religious festival.
Its flavouring components can be many, as each family or baking professional have their
own favourite.
Most popular are orange, lemon, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice,
aniseed, cloves and mace, either singly or in any combination.
The traditional shape is a round or braided loaf.
To simplify cutting and storing (it keeps for up to one week), the
dough can also be formed into long loaves. Cut into slices and
toasted is a popular way of serving this bread.

Stollen (Germany)
A product popular in many European countries around
Christmas time and originating from Germany, stollen is made
from a heavy (rich in fat) yeast dough.
Some varieties contain mainly sultanas (and some candied
peel) and almonds, others almonds only or a poppyseed or nut
filling.
The cleaned sultanas are usually steeped in rum for enhanced
flavour. So as not to break or damage the fruit, they are worked under the dough last.
A somewhat tighter ferment is worked with the other ingredients to a dough, which should
also on the firm side. This hinders the flattening out (losing the intended traditional shape)
of the stollen during baking.
For uniformity and better control of the shape, special stollen moulds (tins) can be used.
After resting the dough, it is scaled into intended portion sizes and moulded round, then
worked into a roll with flat ends. Your Trainer can demonstrate the shaping of a stollen.
Baba and Savarin
Babas and savarins are very light and soft sweet yeast products, oval shaped for babas
and flat round circle shaped for Savarins. As the sponge is very soft and runny it is
preferred to use a piping bag to fill it into the special moulds.
After baking it is soaked with stock syrup and/or rum, then glazed with apricot jam and
decorated.
Babas and Savarins are usually served as dessert or for afternoon tea.
Danish Pastries
These pastries are made with a yeast dough laminated with butter (or other fats), then
turns given similar to puff paste, resulting in light and crisp pastries. They are produced in
many different shapes and sizes with a variety of fillings and toppings.
Fillings used may be custard, jam, cheese, fruit, poppyseed, marzipan and nuts with the
possible addition of dried fruit and candied peel.

Croissants:
Crescent shaped pastries of delicate, flaky structure prepared from laminated yeast
dough.
Croissants are consumed plain or filled (sweet or savoury) or cut open and filled with
meats, cheese and/or salads (snacks, light meals).
Brioche
Yeast dough rich in butter and eggs, traditionally in the shape of a large ball with a smaller
one on top. Its smooth, delicate crumb structure is directly related to the high content of
butter and eggs.
Brioche is very versatile and can be made in a variety of shapes, some versions with
added dried fruit.
Served at breakfast (individual or toasted slices), as an entree (with a savoury filling or as
an accompaniment), as a dessert (filled with cream, mousse and/or fruit), as a lining for
charlottes or for covering pies and meat and fish dishes.
Buchty
Buchty is a fine flavoured egg and butter enriched breakfast treat, very similar to brioche.
It can be either eaten with cured meat or jams, toasted or plain. Buchty is often used in
airline catering due to its long shelf life and due to the fact that it is suitable for any meal.
Common practice is:

to batch buchty on trays, same way as for scones, which makes them very similar to
scones as there is mostly no side crust with the exception of the sides of the tray

1.3 Produce a variety of yeast goods according to
standard recipes and enterprise standards
Fruited yeast products and buns
Europe is the origin of most of the specialty products. Each of the products has a history
and also reasons, apart from the eating qualities, why it was created and why it is still
produced today.
The standard recipe for buns and fruit buns was usually the basis for many products, and
is still regarded by many as a suitable medium for a range of popular products such as
buns, fingers, scrolls, loaves and large items such as Boston buns.
Although the fermentation process is still the means of aeration, formulae and ingredient
specifications for the above products vary somewhat from bread.
Variations in ingredient quantities influence the fermentation process greatly, particularly
fat and sugar levels.
As these both can have a detrimental effect on fermentation, more yeast is usually
required.
Traditionally, religion has played an important part in development of ‘special’ products.
Yeast goods containing dried fruits would be produced in seasons such as Christmas and
Easter. These are Christian religious festivals and when something special is to be
produced extra special ingredients should be used.
Dried fruits were developed as a way of preserving in times of
plenty to be used when fresh fruits were not available, Christmas
and Easter are ideal times to use these expensive dried fruits.
The range of product varieties available has been greatly
influenced by the demand for European products
Speciality Yeast Goods
Stollen, Easter Plaits, Pignoli, Three Kings Cake, Panatone, 1st of August Bread,
Pinca, Colomba
These speciality products are usually sold only on special occasions like Christmas,
Easter and New Year’s Day
All these products are very common in Europe and have religious tradition, mostly
Catholic or Jewish.
On Easter, for example after Lent (period of abstinence), a full flavoured rich bread was
given with ingredients which were not allowed during Lent (pignoli)
Usually specialty sweet yeast products are very rich because of large amounts of butter
and fruit used.
Due to the richness of the specialty products, a sponge or ferment is used rather than a
no time dough as fat and/or acids retard the yeast. In some recipes a sour dough is even
used to ensure fermentation (Panatone).

Element 1: Prepare and bake yeast goods
Special ingredient functions
Fats
The degree of richness of fruited yeast products and buns is
determined to a great extent by their ratio of fat, which affects
their flavour, crumb texture and storage life. A good quality cake
margarine or other emulsified fat is most suitable
When using the ‘instant’ dough process, an improver that is
specifically designed for this process will give the best results.
Sugar
The proportion of sugar added usually depends on the type of product, and in particular
depends on, the amount of dried fruit used, as this also greatly influences the sweetness
of the product. Caster sugar is the best choice for most doughs because it dissolves far
more readily during the mixing process.
Perhaps the most important factor relating to the amount of sugar in
the dough formula is its effect on yeast activity and the final prove
rate.
Sugar addition above 5% of flour weight may slow fermentation
appreciably, while more than 10% sugar will require the maximum
yeast quantity in the dough.
Because sugar is hygroscopic it tends to rapidly absorb dough water therefore depriving
the yeast of the moisture required to dissolve the sugars on which it feeds.
Naturally, this affects the proving process as well.
Fruit
Dried fruits should be washed and well-drained before added to
doughs.
This will reduce water absorption from the dough, increase yield,
improve eating quality, and increase volume by producing more
steam in the product during baking.
Gluten
The addition of heavy fruits to doughs can have a detrimental
effect on the shape of the finished product. Gluten can be
added to strengthen the dough structure to produce a more
bolder product.
Excess sugar can also affect the dough structure so extra
gluten will help this effect as well.

Water temperature for required Finish Dough Temperature (FDT)
The ideal FDT for no-time, rapid or instant doughs is 27°–29°C.
The variation of water temperature is known as your experience figure
because the required water temperature to finish a dough at a predetermined figure is based on bakery conditions and the baker’s
experience. These include:
1. Climatic conditions
2. Bakehouse environment
3. Dough size
4. Mixer speed
5. Flour temperature

Dough yield calculations
When bakers talk about a ‘1 kilogram’ dough, this weight actually applies to the flour
content of the dough only.
When all the other ingredients are added, the total dough weight is referred to as the
expected yield (from 1 kilo of flour).
TOTAL DOUGH WEIGHT = EXPECTED YIELD
In calculating the ingredient weights for a given amount of
dough (the required yield) we use the expected dough yield
from1 kilo of flour using the following formula:
New base weight of flour = required yield/expected yield
Example: Use the following dough formula to calculate the actual quantities of ingredients
for the required yield.

Dough making process
Modern production of doughs varies from country to country. Most are based on the rapid
dough system where additives like dough improvers are added to speed up the process of
fermentation.
Here we will discuss two dough making processes

Rapid or ‘no time’ process (ADD Process)

Ferment and dough process.
Both work well and should be considered when deciding what dough
is going to be used.
Activated Dough Development Process
Rapid Dough (ADD Process)

Mix all ingredients including the addition of an A.D.D. bread improver until the gluten
protein is well developed.

Rest for +/- 10-30 minutes (covered to prevent skinning or chilling)

Process as usual.
Effects of the ADD process

Yeast level from 3% upwards, depending on size of product

Requires A.D.D. bread improver

Warmer dough temperatures 2 8 – 30ºC. Gluten strengtheners are
used to enable the process to be effective.

The gluten structure is modified by chemicals to produce a mature dough as it is taken
from the machine

Ascorbic Acid strengthens (matures)

L Cysteine or Metabisulphite softens (mellows)

Space Saving - dough room/mixing area

Increased bread yield – doughs do not slacken and can
include more water as well as no fermentation weight loss.

Divider accuracy improved – less gas evolution than in other
types of dough

If processing equipment breaks down there is less loss due to only one dough being in
process at a time. In B.F.P. doughs there will be a number of doughs in fermentation
at the same time

Labour Saving, due to production efficiency and no Knock
Back and BFT

Loss of flavour, due to the production process

Increased cost of products (improver).

Element 1: Prepare and bake yeast goods
Setting a Ferment
Disperse yeast in water, whisking vigorously to break down lumps. Add small sugar to
stimulate the yeast
Mix in flour, mixing to produce a smooth batter then whisk to aerate to stimulate the action
of the yeast.
Cover and allow to rest in warm environment 32°C for approximately 25-35 mins
Allow the ferment to stand until it begins to fall away (starts to sink in the middle). This will
take approximately 25 minutes depending on the environment.
For many years the ferment and dough method was traditional because it ensured a
thorough ripening of the dough, particularly when slower types of yeast were used.
Yeast requires Dextrose sugar (Glucose) before it can ferment, but
because it contains enzymes which are capable of changing both
Cane sugar (Sucrose) and Malt sugar (Maltose) into dextrose,
almost any sweet material (except milk sugar) can act as a food
material.
Wheat flour contains 2.5% of these sugars, so any flour, water and
yeast mixture will ferment.
Important to note: The optimum is approximately 12.5%; anything above this will have a
retarding effect on the dough.
When doughs are made with high sugar levels additional yeast must be used.
This is the experience component.
Remember: Yeast is a living organism, Nothing is constant.
Remember
The fermentation stage is when a lot of the dough flavour is developed so choice of
method is important.
For doughs that have large amounts of ingredients that retard the growth of the yeast, the
ferment method is better for flavour development.
Dough mixing
These doughs need to be well developed before the fruit is added.
Do not mix excessively after adding the fruit, as this may cause the fruit to break up,
particularly if it has been washed
Rest period
A recovery time of approximately 10 minutes following mixing will
ensure that the dough is suitable for processing
Moulding
The dough pieces should be adequately moulded and/or rolled. However excessive
handling will produce roughly finished products.

Baking pans and trays
There are two options for tray or pan preparation. Trays and pans
may be well-greased with animal or vegetable oil, or lined with
silicone paper.
However baked products should be removed from paper before
glazing.
Final prove
A temperature of 30° – 40°C with a relative humidity (RH) of 80 – 85% to prevent skinning
is recommended.
Excessive steam in the final prove will cause the formation of a tough, leathery crust and
should be avoided at all times.
Over-proving weakens the dough structure and could cause it to collapse in the oven
Baking
Due to the high sugar content, an oven temperature of approximately 190° – 210°C is
usually most suitable for buns and loaves.
To prevent the crust toughening and the possible collapse of the products, steam injection
should not be used.
Buns should only be baked enough to prevent collapse or
shrinkage after removal from the oven.
The shiny surface usually associated with this type of product is
best obtained by washing immediately after baking with a sugar
syrup or bun wash
Bun wash or glaze
A water and sugar syrup may be used with the addition of 25g per litre of powdered
gelatine.
This will prevent excessive stickiness, which causes most packaging problems.
As the dry, shiny surface is dependent on the evaporation of the moisture in the wash and
the subsequent increase in viscosity of the sugar solution, it is important to apply the hot
wash immediately after removing the product from the oven.
Decoration
Decoration will be similar but slightly different for each product. Moist yeast product is
produced to be consumed on the day or soon after being produced.

1.4 Use appropriate equipment to prepare and
bake yeast goods
Ovens
Bakery goods are baked in special ovens with a large flat base. Sometimes they will be
brick for breads but for pastries you need an oven with more versatile heating elements.
There is much better and wider choice with modern ovens. There are deck ovens,
electric, gas and woodfired.
There are rack ovens that will take an entire rack full of trays.
These will pick a rack up off the floor and rotate the rack in the
oven. They are fan forced which distributes the heat better
throughout the oven.
Brick floored electric ovens have been notorious with irregular heat
on base with ‘hot spots’ and ‘cold spots’ in the ovens.
Proofer and Retarders
These are enclosed areas where the moulded dough is placed to prove.
Prove: The meaning is: if the dough rises then it has
proved to be good.
Warm environment with high humidity is required as this will
allow the yeast to reproduce and make the dough rise and
increase in size.
Modern proofers will also retard.
Retarders:
This is a chilled environment with high humidity that will
hold the dough and not allow the yeast to grow.
Modern proofer/retarders will work together, hold the raw
dough in a chilled environment and then will turn off the
chilling and turn on the heater and allow the yeast to grow,
expand the dough to its full capacity, ready to bake.
This oven can take trays with built in rack or will take an
entire rack as shown in photo.

1.5 Use correct techniques to produce yeast
goods to enterprise standards
When a customer purchases a product from bakery it is based on two reasons:

They like the look of the product; visual stimulation

They purchased before and want the same thing again.
If the product is not consistent then the customer will not be satisfied and will then
complain.
Consistency in product manufacture is achieved by the following:

Correct weighing of Ingredients

Formula balance

Bakery products are consistent when formula balance is maintained

Scaling weights accurately

Mixing the dough/batter the same every time

Cutting or weighing to correct size

Moulding to correct shape

Baking the same every time.
These are the skills and techniques that will return a
consistent bakery product everytime.
After baking, the product might need to be cut again into portions.
Everything must look the same
Then, when all is ready for sale, everything must be sold the same way:
Either:

By portion, each individually

By weight, kilogram or gram.

Recipe for good baking

Weigh all ingredients. Do not measure them. What is the
difference?

Weight is measured by scaling ingredients on the same set of
weighing scales

Measuring is done with cups and is by volume. Weight is
inconsistent each time.
Example

1 kilo weighs 1 kilo

200gm weighs 200 gm

1 cup of water measures 250 ml, it weighs 250 gm.
But
1 cup of flour measures 250 ml but it weighs 120 gm – 150 gm depending on several
factors
Let’s deal with the weight difference.
Volume measuring by cup is good but the density of each ingredient is different so you
get a different weight from each ingredient.
Water weight is the same as volume; 1 kilo measures 1 litre; 1 litre weighs 1 kilo.
Dry Ingredients all have a different density so therefore the weight of the same volume is
different. For example: 1 cup weighs?
Sugar
225 gm
Flour
150 gm
Almonds Whole
120 gm
Rice,
uncooked
220 gm
Honey
375 gm
Almonds,
ground
125 gm
The standard for measuring one cup volume: level to top of cup, not packed.
Consistency of results in baking comes with consistent measurements: WEIGH!

1.6 Bake yeast goods to enterprise requirements
and standards
Product characteristics that customers look for come from the following:
Colour of the product when it is finally removed from the oven is important to the visual
appeal of the product. Colour stimulates the senses and encourages the customer to
purchase.
Appearance is about form and shape. It is important that all pieces have
the same appearance.
Consistency and texture is about how it feels in the mouth when the
customer is consuming the product
Moisture content adds to the shelf life and mouthfeel of the product.
Mouth feel and eating properties.
This is achieved by maintaining consistency of production. Nobody is
allowed to move away from the given formula, shape or design.
Enterprise standards will vary from enterprise to enterprise. Consistency is the key to
retaining customers.
Buns plain and fruited buns and scrolls
When proving they need to be 75% to 90% proofed before being placed into the oven.
When baked they should have a dark golden brown colour and when glazed with sugar
syrup upon removal from the oven this will impart a pleasing gloss to the product.
If the product has spread while baking and appears wider at the base it means that the
product was overproofed before being placed into the oven.
Danish Pastry
These pastries will have a golden colour when baked due to lower
sugar content in dough.
The shape should be ‘contained’ in the shape in which they were
moulded.
Croissant
Golden brown finish with a light flaky texture. When squeezed they
should give a crunch. When cut the texture should be open and
irregular in shape
Baba and Savarin
These will have a closed texture that will open up as the pieces are soaked in flavoured
sugar syrup before serving.

Stollen
Stollen is a traditional rich East European/German Christmas product, oval shaped with
three segments. It can be filled with almond paste, quark or
cream cheese or left plain.
After baking it is dipped or brushed with butter, covered with
icing sugar and left to mature in an airtight container, to
develop the flavour (similar to a fruitcake). The butter will also
slow down the staling process and help extend the shelf life.
Characteristics:

Compact, dense texture with a short crumb. Due to high fat content, very good eating
qualities.
Panettone
Is a light Fruit bread, originated in Milan, Italy.
Panettone is available all year around, but traditionally consumed during Christmas and
characterised by its rich flavour and unique shape, which is a tall cylinder.
French Brioche is similar in texture and richness to the Panettone, but without fruit and
not as light.
Panettone can be raised with yeast, but is traditionally made with a sour dough.
Due to the richness of the product a ferment or sponge and
dough is required to achieve the texture and the volume
characteristics.
Panettone has a shelf life of up to several weeks, if protected
from drying out by wrapping it Celloform, when they are cold.
Storing will also mature the product and improve the flavour.
Characteristics:

Tall cylindrical shape with a rough surface

Light large porous texture due to b.f.p.

Rubbery eating qualities.

1.7 Select correct oven conditions for baking
yeast goods
Yeast goods will be baked in an oven temperature ranging from 180ºC – 220ºC.
This is because they contain sugar. Products baked with sugar will darken on the crust
quicker than bread.
To control the browning of the crust the product is baked at a lower temperature:

Appearance

Colour on the outside crust

Colour adds to the appearance.
Too dark and it is burnt:

It will taste bitter.
Underbaked it will look pale and uninviting:

A well-baked product will have a bold appearance.
Dextrinization: is produced by the action of heat and steam on the starch. The dextrin is
a carbohydrate smaller in size than starch.
This is also referred to as the Malliard Reaction after the French chemist, Louis Camille
Maillard (1876-1936).
The process is a reaction between reducing sugars such as maltose and glucose,
not sucrose, with amino acids present in the dough on the crust of the loaf.
This is responsible for the glaze and bloom on the crust.

Different product requires different oven settings, heat and humidity settings. Different settings
produce different characteristics.

The higher the sugar content the lower the heat settings.

Decorate and present/display yeast
goods
2.1 Prepare a variety of fillings and coating/icing
and decorations for yeast goods
Glazing of yeast goods
Decoration is very basic with yeast goods.
Sugar syrup glaze, normally 1 part sugar, 1 part water
boiled and let cool.
This is referred to as a stock syrup. The formula may
vary but they are all called the same.
Boiled apricot jam; applied to product when it has just been removed from the oven and
while the jam is boiling. This causes the jam to dry and impart a shine and flavour to the
product.
Icing sugar can be sifted over the final baked product with no glaze applied.
Fondant
Fondant can be applied after removing from oven. Fondant needs to be tempered if a
shine is required on the finished product. Fondant can be thinned to required consistency.
Fondant should be touch dry when it has been applied and cooled.
After glazing with fondant roasted, shaved or chopped nuts can be used to decorate the
end product.
Frostings
Frosting is sugar and fat blended together with some water added to soften.
It is composed of 80% icing Sugar with 20% fat ratio and 5% water. Special emulsified
shortening works well here as they will hold more water.
Bienenstich
This is a sweet dough of varying sizes that have been
coated with a mixture of almonds, sugar, butter, honey and
cream and which has been heated and cooled before
being placed on to the unbaked dough.
It is warmed to body temperature and spread thinly over
unbaked product. When baked it should have a golden crust of nut topping. When cool
the product can be sliced and filled with a crème pâtissière filling or served plain.
It can be produced in large pieces or in thin sheets for slicing and cutting into individual
pieces.

Fillings
Crème pâtissière: Starch thickened milk that can be flavoured and coloured to enterprise
requirements. It is stable at high temperatures and will sit at room temperatures for
extended periods.
Many commercial mixes contain preservatives that extend shelf life at room temperatures.
Fruit fillings
Most fruits used as filling need to be stabilised in a starch gel.
This is because when sugar is added to fruit it will dissolve and
the free liquid boils inside the dough and is detrimental to the
finished product.
Fruits will need to be cooked before being used in fillings.
Some fruits may not cook inside the dough before the dough
has baked.
Canned fruits are economical when used in fillings for danish and steussel doughs.
Solid pack ‘Pie’ fillings can be purchased to fit this need. This is fruit in a can that has no
added water or syrup. However, when sugar is added to this is does dissolve so that
liquid needs to be stabilised.
There are proprietary powders that can be added to fruit mixes. These are pre-gelatinised
gels. They rehydrate when added to the pie mixes and hold the moisture in suspension.
These powders have been cooked to a thick viscous state and then dried on steam
heated rollers and ground to powder so they can be added to fruits or other liquids at a
later stage.
These pre-gelatinised powders are best added to the sugar before mixing into the fruit.
Cream
Whipped fresh cream flavoured with sugar and vanilla has
always been popular as a filling but needs to be kept in a
controlled environment. It is not suited to hot climates.
Nut fillings
Nuts can be ground and mixed with sugar and liquids to form
pastes.
Cheese fillings
Quark, cottage and cream cheeses can be sweetened and flavoured before being used
as fillings. Some cheeses with high moisture contents can be stabilised with the addition
of starch that will thicken during the baking process.
All fillings used in yeast goods:

Add flavour

Add interest

Add food value.

2.2 Decorate yeast goods using fillings and
coating/icing and decorations according to
standard recipes and/or enterprise standards
and/or customer requests
Glazing of yeast goods
Yeast goods are glazed to add eye appeal and enhance the flavour of the finished
product.
Glazing can be simple; using sugar syrup; or elaborate using icings roasted nuts and
brightly coloured fruits.
Yeast good will carry a premium in pricing so the customer will need they are getting
value for money.
Sugar syrup is the simplest and this must be added while the product is still hot; brush
lightly and quickly over the surface.
If too much is added it will soak into product and make soggy.
When added to hot product the water evaporates away leaving stick sugar paste than
reflects the light and SHINES.
Boiled apricot jam
Apply to Danish pastries when they are removed from oven.
When this is done the jam must be hot and the product just
out of the oven.
Do not add water to jam; this will dilute the glaze and
flavour.. same as sugar syrup, when brushed on hot excess water will be evaporated
away leaving shine and extra flavour.
Icing sugar ;Sift over Danish pastry that is not coated in apricot jam.
Fondant
Apply after tempering and when product has cooled. When cool the fondant should have
an appealing shine.
Bienenstich
Bienstich glaze is applied before product is baked.
A mixture of flaked almonds hone, cream and sugar is cooked on stove to amalgamate.
Can be stored in refrigerator until required.
To use: warm slightly until it flows off the spoon. Apply evenly and thinly over the top of
unbaked dough piece.
When baked in the oven the sugars caramelise and when cooled the topping has an
appealing flavour and colour. The top will also have a crunch from the sugar and nuts.
The topping must be brown before removing from the oven or it will not be crisp and
crunchy. Care must be taken not to burn the sugar. It will then be bitter and be black in
colour.

Element 2: Decorate and present/display yeast goods
Fillings
Fresh Dairy Cream
Flavoured with sugar and vanilla essence.
Slice cooled product like buns and donuts and pipe whipped cream into centre; these
product will need to be stored in controlled environment as the cream melts in warm
environment and can have unacceptable bacterial growth if not controlled.
Crème pâtissière
Flavour and pipe into finished product in place of fresh dairy cream. It can
be used in danish pastry with fruit to act as binding agent for fruit and add
moist mouthfeel:

It can be placed in or onto the yeast good before or after baking.
If it is placed on the outside of the product it will need to be glazed before being presented
for consumption. Starch thickened products will dry on the surface when exposed to the
air diminishing the eating quality.
Nut fillings
Make into paste with sugar and spices then use in danish pastries.
Toppings
Gels
Apply to top of fruits added to danish pastries after baking.
Fruit Decors
Fresh or canned fruits can be added to baked pastries. A
pocket can be baked then crème patisserie is added with
strawberries as the fruit. Strawberries are delicate and do
not bake well like apricots.
These will be glazed with gel to add shine and eye appeal.
Product decorated with fresh fruits will have a limited life
but, as most yeast goods are consumed on the day of production, this is not a big issue.
Crumbles
Apply thinly to top of unbaked product and it will bake and leave a nice crust on finished
product.
Crumbles add textural diversity and interest to the finished product.
Frosting
Apply to baked product after cooling. These will have a lighter sweetness than fondant
due to the fat content.
They add pleasant mouthfeel and interest to the finished product.

Element 2: Decorate and present/display yeast goods
2.3 Present/display yeast goods to enterprise
standards using appropriate service
equipment
Presentation of product is dependent on where and how it is to be sold.
From the bakery
Presented on tray laying flat showing filling if any. The filling will have eye appeal:

Apple Danish should have lots of apple pieces

Apricots need to be visible

Nut Danish: need to see the nuts.
At times they may be stacked to show abundance but this can cause product on the
bottom to be squashed.
Display in bakery
Most are displayed on trays that contain up to 12 portions. Service is taken from the back
of the tray. Larger pieces might be presented individually on doyley and cardboard bases.
Doyleys are used extensively in presentation as it is a barrier between the product and
serviceware.
From the restaurant show case or buffet trolley
When purchasing your morning coffee a selection of bakery goods will be displayed for
customer selection. At the café they will be behind a safety barrier.
In fine dining hotels it can be displayed on a trolley that is wheeled up to the table for the
customer to choose. This is an old practice and is not used in many places these days.
Serviceware
These are the platter trays and plates that are used to display and serve product in cafes
and dining rooms. They can also be used in conjunction with doyleys between product
and serviceware.
A good display should highlight the product at its best.

3.1 Store at correct temperature and conditions of
storage
Bakery products tend to be stable at room temperature. No special storage requirements
need to be applied for daily use.
For any product that is to be served after the day of manufacture the product will need to
be covered and protected from outside contamination:

Products with cream filling will need to be kept chilled

Crème pâtissière can stand at room temperature for the day but must then be
discarded and not used.
Most bakery products are sold or used the same day that they are produced.
If they are to be stored at room temperature then:
Store at Room Temperature
Festive product may be stored for a couple of days. For longer
storage it is best to freeze.
If the baked product does not contain dairy products then it can be
stored at room temperature. It should be protected from the
environment by being covered.
When food is chilled it can lose essential parts of the flavour.
When storing it is always important to make sure product is labelled and it is stored away
from strong odours like onion or cleaning chemicals.
Freezing
If freezing baked bakery products care must be taken not to squash them when wrapping.
This will cause them to be deformed when thawed out. When freezing be sure to label
with the date of freezing and use the FIFO (‘First In, First Out’) rule.
Storing in Coolroom
Product with dairy ingredients like cream and crème pâtissière need to be kept chilled to
stop bacterial activity rising above acceptable limits.
Never store for too long in coolroom: fresh cream, same day only.
Product degradation will be too great and eating quality diminishes.

3.2 Maintain maximum eating quality, appearance
and freshness
All yeast good products will stale quickly. Staling is the process where the optimum eating
fades.
Staling can be in several forms:

Air passes through the product and dries the product out

Moisture from the air enters the product so it loses some of the eating quality. Crisp
product goes soft.
To maintain the eating quality of bakery items:

Use as soon as possible

Cover to protect from environment

Keep chilled if needed

Keep dry.
Croissants will be considered stale the next day when they lose crispness. After baking it
is best to freeze them if you wish to store them for any period of time:

Thawing is quick as the product is light

Thawing is best at room temperature.
Danish pastry is best consumed on the day that it was produced. It can be stored and
reheated at a later time, but eating quality is reduced.
Any Yeast Goods product is best consumed on the day that it was produced.
Optimise freshness

Bake daily

Bake only what you can sell

Bake in small batches.

Element 3: Store yeast goods
Summary
Store yeast goods
Store at correct temperature and conditions of storage

Yeast goods store best at room temperature. If they need to be stored for long term then they
are best frozen

When storing they need to be protected from outside contamination

Yeast goods containing fresh dairy products like cream need to be kept in a controlled
environment and chilled.
Maintain maximum eating quality, appearance and freshness

Bake fresh everyday is the best way to maintain freshness

Lighter style yeast goods have a very short shelf-life of 1 – 2 days

Enriched yeast goods like stollen and panettone will last several weeks due to the density of
the product and the amount of sugar, eggs and fats contained inside.


Same as in English Puff pastry

Give a single turn (Fold in 3)

Cover with a cloth or plastic and return to fridge for 15
minutes

Repeat turning two more times.

Finished pastry should have 3 x single folds

Keep the dough as chilled as possible, it is easier to work with chilled than at room
temperature.
Different folding techniques can be used by each enterprise
Some will use 1 single and 1 double.
Do not fold to many times, you will lose the flakiness. The dough is soft and the butter will
blend into the dough.

the workplace.
2. Style
Students should write in a style that is simple and concise. Short
sentences and paragraphs are easier to read and understand. It helps to
write a plan and at least one draft of the written work so that the final
product will be well organized. The points presented will then follow a
logical sequence and be relevant. Students should frequently refer to the
question asked, to keep ‘on track’. Teachers recognize and are critical of
work that does not answer the question, or is ‘padded’ with irrelevant
material. In summary, remember to:

Plan ahead

Be clear and concise

Answer the question

Proofread the final draft.
3. Presenting Written Work
Types of written work
Students may be asked to write:

Short and long reports

Essays

Records of interviews

Questionnaires

Business letters

Resumes.
Format
All written work should be presented on A4 paper, single-sided with a left-hand margin. If
work is word-processed, one-and-a-half or double spacing should be used. Handwritten
work must be legible and should also be well spaced to allow for ease of reading. New
paragraphs should not be indented but should be separated by a space. Pages must be
numbered. If headings are also to be numbered, students should use a logical and
sequential system of numbering.

Presentation of written work
Cover Sheet
All written work should be submitted with a cover sheet stapled to the front that contains:

The student’s name and student number

The name of the class/unit

The due date of the work

The title of the work

The teacher’s name

A signed declaration that the work does not involve plagiarism.
Keeping a Copy
Students must keep a copy of the written work in case it is lost. This rarely happens but it
can be disastrous if a copy has not been kept.
Inclusive language
This means language that includes every section of the population. For instance, if a
student were to write ‘A nurse is responsible for the patients in her care at all times’ it
would be implying that all nurses are female and would be excluding male nurses.
Examples of appropriate language are shown on the right:
Mankind
Humankind
Barman/maid
Bar attendant
Host/hostess
Host
Waiter/waitress
Waiter or waiting staff
