What are doughs made of?
Flour and liquid
Pastry dough has a tender,
flaky
texture.
What are the three main types of doughs?
Bread, pastry, and pasta
Match the type of dough with its key characteristic:
Bread Dough ↔️ Strong, elastic texture
Pastry Dough ↔️ Tender, flaky texture
Pasta Dough ↔️ Firm, smooth texture
Glutenin and gliadin are the two proteins that form
gluten
Why is kneading important in gluten development?
Forms a strong network
Stages of gluten development
1️⃣ Hydration
2️⃣ Mixing
3️⃣ Kneading
Gluten
development
is essential for bread to rise.
What is the main difference between bread dough and pastry dough?
Bread uses yeast
Bread dough often uses
yeast
Fat is used in
pastry dough
to create a tender, flaky texture.
What type of dough is used for spaghetti?
Pasta dough
How are doughs classified?
By their characteristics
Different dough types have different characteristics to suit specific
baked goods
.
Stages of gluten development during kneading
1️⃣ Hydration
2️⃣ Mixing
3️⃣ Kneading
What are the two proteins that make up gluten?
Glutenin and gliadin
Kneading develops
gluten
in dough.
Match the kneading technique with its description:
Hand Kneading ↔️ Manual process using hands
Stand Mixer Kneading ↔️ Uses a dough hook attachment
Food Processor Kneading ↔️ Uses a dough blade
Hand kneading involves folding and pushing the
dough
Which attachment is used for kneading in a stand mixer?
Dough hook
Kneading is essential for developing the elasticity of
dough
.
Kneading is a crucial step in dough preparation that develops
gluten
Match the kneading technique with its method:
Hand Kneading ↔️ Manual process using hands to fold and push dough
Stand Mixer Kneading ↔️ Uses a dough hook attachment
Food Processor Kneading ↔️ Some processors have a dough blade
Hand kneading involves folding and pushing the dough repeatedly to develop
gluten
.
Stages of fermentation in bread making:
1️⃣ Initial Fermentation
2️⃣ Bulk Fermentation
3️⃣ Final Fermentation
What biochemical process occurs during fermentation?
Yeast converts glucose
When making bread, yeast ferments the sugars in the dough, producing
CO2
and causing it to rise.
Match the baking technique with its heat type and method:
Oven Baking ↔️ Dry heat from oven, dough is baked inside
Steaming ↔️ Moist heat from steam, dough is cooked in a steamer
Deep Frying ↔️ Hot oil, dough is immersed in hot oil
Deep frying results in a crisp
exterior
and a soft interior in dough-based products.
What substance is developed in dough during kneading to provide structure and elasticity?
Gluten
Bread dough is characterized by its strong, elastic
texture
Pastry dough uses fat for layering to achieve a
flaky
texture.
What type of dough is kneaded well to achieve a firm, smooth texture for spaghetti or ravioli?
Pasta dough
What is the primary role of gluten in doughs?
Structure and elasticity
There are three main types of doughs: bread dough, pastry dough, and
pasta
Bread dough often uses
yeast
for rising.
What key ingredient is used in pastry dough to create its tender, flaky texture?
Fat
Pasta dough is kneaded well to develop
elasticity
.
What protein complex forms when flour is mixed with water?
Gluten
Doughs are classified into three main types: bread dough, pastry dough, and
pasta
