Pastry History
The European tradition of pastry-making is often traced back to
the short crust era of flaky dough that was in use throughout the
Mediterranean in ancient times.
As time passed the pastry was enriched with fat and milk, and
began vaguely to resemble today’s shortcrust. By Medieval times, pastry-
making was well-established and rich-crust pastry covering known as
coffers became as important as the fruit, meat, fish and game pies they
covered.

Weighing scale –is used to measure ingredients in large quantities.
Timer – is used to in timing baked products, the rising of yeast
and to check the doneness of cakes.
Ovens are the workhorses of the bakery and pastry shop and are
essential for producing the bakery products. Ovens are enclosed spaces
in which food is heated, usually by hot air.
1. DECK OVENS
2. RACK OVEN
is a large oven into which entire racks full of sheet pans can be
wheeled for baking.
3. MECHANICAL OVEN
The food is in motion while it bakes in this type of oven. The most
common types are a revolving oven, in which his mechanism is like that
of a Ferris wheel. The mechanical action eliminates the problem of hot
spots or uneven baking because the mechanism rotates throughout the
oven. Because of its size it is especially used in high volume operations. It
can also be equipped with steam ejector.
5. Dutch oven
Is a thick-walled (usually cast iron) cooking pot with a tight-fitting
lid. Dutch ovens have been used as cooking vessels for hundreds of
years. They are called “casserole dishes” in English speaking countries
other than the USA, and cocottes in French, They aresimilar to both the
Japanese tetsunabe and the Sač, a traditional Balkan cast-iron oven,
and are related to the South African Potjie and the Australian Bedourie
oven.

to slam may affect the rise of the cake being
Learning objectives:
2. Non – functional tools and equipment are segregated and labeled for
classification
The safety of tools and equipment is not only the concern of the
management, but of the workers who use the equipment as well. Proper
maintenance and safety of tools and equipment are important for the
following reasons:
4. Safety. Most food service accident happens in the kitchen. This is due
to lack of knowledge and training of food worker in the use of tools and
equipment.
4. Handle fragile tools or those tools made of glass with care. Those with
breaks should be discarded.
5. Store tools and equipment in a clean dry place. Do not keep them
when wet.
1. Service industry;
On Job Hazards
The safety regulations in the workplace should keep job hazards on top
priority.
The floors have to be checked for tripping hazards.
All the walkways should be well-lit and in case there are blind
spots, all the employees and workers should be aware of them.
This could help avoid untoward collisions and accidents.
Cords and wires should be secured away from the walkways and
the corridors. All electric wiring should be covered with appropriate
material.
Fire safety regulations and electrical safety regulations should also
be made.

INFORMATION SHEET 2.1-9
Process of Fermentation and Dough Development
Learning Objectives:
This means that the baker who is interested in the leavening action of
carbon dioxide works under conditions that minimize the presence of
dissolved oxygen. On the other hand, a yeast manufacturer that wants to
produce more yeast cell mass, works under aerobic conditions by
bubbling air through the solution in which the yeast is grown.
In New Zealand large plant bakeries tend to use one of two main
methods: Mechanical Dough Development (MDD) or Bulk Fermentation
(BF) method. Craft bakeries or smaller plant bakeries tend to use no-time
systems or liquid ferment systems. The traditional method of making
bread was the BF method, where the dough was left to ferment in bowls
for several hours before molding and baking. However the MDD method
radically changed bread making as the fermentation stage was able to be
eliminated, speeding up the process, saving time and money. Rather than
a long fermentation period the dough is subjected to intensive mixing in a
small chamber called a developer. The dough sill ferments but this is in
the intermediate proof stage. Nearly 80% of all bread made in plant
bakeries in New Zealand is made by MDD.
MIXING
1. Yeast quantity
The size and type of proofer will set an upper limit on proof time.
General practice dictates that a minimum yeast level is used with
maximum proof time suitable for the bakery conditions. There will be a
practical upper limit to proof time and this will vary with the type of
bread and processing conditions.
3. Dough temperature
4. Oxidizing agent
Also called maturing agents, they are added to bread dough to
improve the strength of the gluten structure in the dough to allow it to
hold more carbon dioxide produced during fermentation. Oxidizing
agents ensure that well risen, fine, even textured loaves are produced.
Varying the level of the oxidizing agent is the best way to adjust the
maturity of the dough. Increasing the quantity of the oxidizing agent
increases the dough maturity. Ascorbic acid is an example of an oxidizing
agent.
Aroma and flavor are poor Aroma and flavor are poor
Direction: Write true if the statement true and false if the statement is
false.

Learning Outcome 2
Present and Decorate Pastry Product
Learning Objectives:
Pies, turnovers, strudel and cream puffs, are just a few of the
pastries loved the world over. The term pastry comes from word paste,
meaning, a mixture of flour, fat and water, are used to make all of them.
When combined in different proportions and by varying mixing methods,
these basic ingredients make flexible dough’s that can be shaped into
practical or decorative shapes to hold a variety of sweet or savory fillings.
Kinds of Filling
a. Fruit Filling
Fruit filling consist of fruit, fruit juices, water, sugar, spices and
starch thickener.
Fresh fruit
This give top quality products but it requires a lot of labor and its
dependent on the season.
Frozen fruit
This is consistent in the quality and always available. The juice is
drained and then filling can be made.
Canned fruit
Drain the fruit completely then weight to get the exact weight of
fruit.

1. Distinguish the varieties of pastry products
2. Elaborate the different taste of pastry product
Pastries
Toaster pastry
Designed to be safely heated in a toaster, toaster pastries are a
convenience food. Most toaster pastries have a fruit filling, but some
Flaky pastry
Flaky pastry (also known as a "quick puff pastry" or "blitz puff
pastry")[36] is a light, flaky, unleavened pastry, similar to a puff pastry.
The main difference is that in a flaky pastry, large lumps of shortening,
are mixed into the dough, as opposed to a large rectangle of shortening
with a puff pastry.
Characteristics of Good Pastry
Lightness depends on the amount of air incorporated, on the
expansion of that air, and on the presence of baking powder.
If the materials used are cold and the manipulation is carried on in a
cold room, or if the paste is chilled by being placed in a refrigerator, the
expansion of the enclosed air is greater during the baking process.
Flakiness results when the ingredients are so mixed as to make layers.
To accomplish this, fat is not thoroughly mixed into the dry ingredients,
but is left in pieces by being cut in with a knife or rubbed in with a
spoon.
Tenderness depends on the relative amounts of fat and water used and
on the manipulation. The more fat and the less water used, within limits,
the tenderer will be the crust. Handling the paste develops elasticity by
developing gluten, and so makes a tough crust. If the fingers are used to
mix the fat with the flour, the heat of the fingers melts the fat and causes it to act
as liquid; thus more flour is required, which tends to make a tough paste.

Learning Outcome 3
Storage of Pastry Product
Learning Objectives;
At the end of this information sheet, student should be able to;
1. Know the important of label in pastry product
2. Make a storage container in pastry product
Fresh fruit on tarts and pies are also quite sensitive to the effects of
light and heat radiation. Under ordinary lights they soon dry out and
fade. By using promolux bakery case lighting, bakeries and patisseries
are discovering longer shelf life and more radiant, fresh looking products
to wet the appetite of their customers.
Time/temperature control
Labels offers plenty of great options for your treats and sweets.
Small bakeries, large food product manufacturers and individuals
looking for a bit of customization for the baked goods they made with love
can all benefit from custom bakery labels. What better way to display
your message, product type and health or ingredient information than on
attractive, eye-catching labels that look as good as the food they are
affixed to.
Lettering The size of the lettering on the labels is now less
restricted. Lettering must be legible, that is clear enough to read.
Specific sized lettering is only required for allergy warning.
Pastry type The name of the pastry product must be correct
describe.
Bakery address The label should display the name and the street
of the bakery, or someone who sale, or someone who distribute.
Nutritional information The packaging must have a Nutritional
Information Panel (NIP). Information per 100 grams and per serving
Crust freezing
Crust freezing is applied either to boost mechanical freezers,
preserve shapes, prevent water losses or obtain an efficient slicing.
This process consists in hardening the products surface to:
Increase the product rigidity before an efficient slicing
Avoid the products loss of shape during their handling or
conveying
Temperature control
Temperature is a key parameter: it is crucial to avoid any temperature
rise during the products transformation to preserve their organoleptic
and hygienic properties.
Preserve the microbiological specification of the food
Reduce the temperature rise during mixing, cutting or shaping
The direct liquid CO2, nitrogen injection, or the dry ice injection,
guarantees:
A quick and precise chilling
A constant temperature during processing and transport
In the choppers, mixers and kneading-machines
During the cutting and grating
Freezing
The properties of cryogenic fluids (high refrigeration capacity, low
temperature) allow the product to be very rapidly “frozen”. Cryogenic
freezing takes generally 3 to 4 times less than with a mechanical
refrigeration system.
