Introduction
All Pastry has base ingredients of flour and water. Better quality pastry also has a
fat added to give eating qualities. Salt can be added to give strength to gluten structure
and adds to the flavour. Sweet pastry has an addition of sugar but this has effects on the
gluten that needs to be controlled by altering recipe ratio. All these pastries have a closed
consistency and after they are baked are very heavy in the eating qualities. Addition of
aeration to the pastry achieves better eating quality so giving a more pleasant sensation
from consumption. Aeration can be achieved by the addition of chemical compound
(baking powder) or by the addition of fat and different methods of incorporating these fats
into the dough give a different result. The addition of fat also adds to the food value to the
dough or batter.
1. FLOUR – is finely ground meal or powdery product obtained from milling cereal
grains, root crops, starchy vegetables and other foods.
a. Cake Flour - cake flour is great for making cakes and other baked goods because it
gives you a very tender result.
b. Bread Flour- Bread flour is a high protein flour that is intended to be used in yeast
breads and designed to give you a better result in those breads than you would get with
another type of flour. The high protein content means that the flour has more gluten in
it.
c. All Purpose Flour - is a type of flour that is suitable for all kinds of recipes. Also known
as “plain,” “general purpose” or “family” flour, this kitchen cupboard staple is the main
ingredient in our favorite baked goods such as cakes, breads and rolls. It’s also great for
thickening sauces, gravies and puddings or deliciously dredging meats and vegetables
prior to frying or sautéing.

d. Ready Mix Flour - consisting of ingredients blended in advance, especially of food
that is ready to cook or eat after addition of milk or water.
2. LIQUIDS – is an indispensable one because of its function to react with flour proteins
to form gluten. It controls dough consistency and dough temperature. It dissolves dry
ingredients evenly through chemical and enzymes reactions during mixing and baking.
FORM OF LIQUIDS:
a. Water b. Milk c. Fruit juices d. Others
4. EGGS – provide leavening, add color, texture, flavor and richness to the batter, It is
very important in helping to bind all the other ingredients together.
8. Flavouring Agents - Spices, essences and intensely aromatic liquids can be added
to pastry to enhance the eating sensation. The compulsory standard is that it must be
fit for human consumption and give no harmful side effects.
9. Nuts - All nuts can be used in pastries. Some can be added raw while some have their
flavour enhanced by roasting nuts before use.

Introduction
Proper measuring is a crucial part of successful baking. Unlike cooking, where you
can often get away with eyeballing the amount of ingredients you put in the dish—a ball
of mozzarella, a knob of butter, three tomatoes—baking is chemistry and requires
precision. Add too much flour to cake batter and the cake may come out tough and dry.
Not enough flour and you risk ending up with a badly structured cake that will collapse in
the oven.
Materials:
1. Dry ingredients: flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and soda
2. Liquid ingredients: water, milk
3. Measuring tools: graduated measuring cup, measuring spoons, weighing scale,
individual measuring cup

Introduction
Pastries are different from breads in that they have higher fat content, which gives
them a flakier, more crumbly texture. The perfect pastry is light and airy, but firm enough
to be able to support any filling it might have.
When cooking in general, and particularly in baking, we can make and use many
different kinds of pastry and dough. All built on the same “base”: flour - a powder to which
we add fat, liquid or both to produce the dough which is then cooked.
[Translator’s note: in French, all doughs, pastries, batters and pasta are covered by just
one word: “pâtes”, a feature of the original article that has been somewhat lost in this
English version!]
Figure 4 Figure 5
3. Choux pastry dough (pâte à choux) is the famous French dough used for éclairs,
Saint-Honoré and profiteroles. It starts as a butter+water+milk+flour mixture, called
“panade” in French, into which eggs are then incorporated. During cooking, the water
contained in the dough turns to steam to form bubbles. This is trapped by the light crust
forming on the outside, causing the choux pastry to puff up.
Figure 9
5. Baked Meringues - This pie is thickened with cornstarch and flour in addition to egg
yolks, and contains no milk.
Figure 10 Figure 11
1. Tarts - A baked dish made with a filling over a pastry base, tarts (unlike pies) have
an open top. Traditionally baked with short crust pastry, tarts can be made with sweet
ingredients like custard and fruit, or savoury ingredients (often called quiches).

4. A pie is a baked dish of fruit, meat or vegetables, typically made of a pastry-dough
crust and often topped with pastry.
5. Layered pastry, typically with a sweet filling inside.
Supplies/Materials:
Tools / Utensils
Measuring tools

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
4 tablespoons shortening, chilled
5 tablespoons ice water
Add all ingredients to list
Equipment: Oven
Steps/Procedure:
1. Place flour in a bowl with the sugar and salt. Cut the butter and shortening
into pieces, and cut into the flour until crumbly. Mix in vanilla. Add just
enough water to form a ball: it should not be sticky. Knead quickly into a
smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
2. When ready to make pie, roll dough out as you would any crust. Do not let
sit out, or handle excessively allowing to soften. Easiest to work with if
firm.

Introduction
Once you’ve been baking or cooking for a while you start to notice you use the same
or similar techniques over and over again. These techniques are the foundation to any
recipe and you should know them well. The more you understand these techniques, the
better your recipes will come out and then you can also apply these building blocks to
recipes that lack them – making them better and making them your own
1. Check whether you have all the equipment and ingredients at hand. Think of substitute
ingredients if needed.
2. Look up the meaning of terms you doubt or cannot understand.
3. Assemble all ingredients and utensils needed and arrange them within easy reach.
4. Do as much preparation activity as possible before mixing.
5. Measure and sift dry/powdered ingredients, grease pans, chop nuts, melt butter and
put dry ingredients together and liquid ingredients together.
6. Make all measurements level using standard cups and measures.
7. Dry ingredients are heaped to overflowing in cups or measuring spoons then level off
with a straight-edge knife or spatula.
8. Do not tap cup of sifted flour. Sifting is done to incorporate air to flour to make product
lighter and fluffier.
9. Pack brown sugar firmly into measuring cup and level off with spatula.
10. Crack down lumps of sugar by running a rolling pin over and sift them before
measuring.
11. Do not dip cups or spoons into milk, syrup honey or other liquid ingredients. Pour liquid
ingredients into the standard granulated measuring cups/spoons to prevent them from
adhering to the sides and dripping on work space. Put in a flat surface and read at eye
level to obtain accurate measures.
12. Measure fats, press firmly into measuring spoon/ cups to overflowing then level off
with spatula. *225gms=1cup
13. Tidy up equipment as you work, wipe off grease from can opener, wash pots and
pans, clear off work area.
14. Wipe range / oven each time you use it.
1. Silicone pastry sheet - This is the ultimate cold work surface for pastry.
2. Rolling pins - These come in all shapes, sizes and materials. There's no
particular advantage in having handles. Choose one that feels
comfortable - not too unwieldy, you don't want to be too heavy on the
pastry, or risk dropping it (ceramic ones can break). If you go for a wooden
one, check that it's nice and smooth, and be sure to clean and dry it
thoroughly after each use.
3. Pie dishes - Mason Cash pudding basins are classics for a reason:
they're plain, simple and available in numerous sizes. Pie foils can be
bought in local kitchen shops or at online stores. Best not to chuck
handfuls of flour around: a sifter/dredger will limit the danger of adding
too much and causing your pastry to crack up.
4. Pie funnel - helps stop the pastry from sinking into the dish.
5. Pastry crimper - for perfectionists aiming for neat-looking pies, this tool
will double as a pizza cutter, but, in truth, hand crimping is more the thing.
1. 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.
2. Appearance is about form and shape. It is important that all pieces have the
same appearance.
4. Moisture content adds to the shelf life and mouth feel of the product.
Expectations of customers
The main problem with this process is the shrinkage or distortion of the pastry
during baking. The absence of a filling provides nothing to hold the pastry in shape.
Due to the sugar content, caramelization is rapid once the crust temperature
reaches about 148ºC. For this reason, this type of pastry is baked at a reasonably
moderate temperature.
As a general guide the baking temperature for sweet short pastry is 190ºC to
215ºC, furthermore the baking temperature depends on: size and shape, density, the
sugar content and product characteristic.
Pre-bake finishes: Sweet Short Pastry can be left plain, Egg-washed or washed and
sprinkled with sugar to enhance the appearance.
When pre-cooked fillings or cold fillings are used, it is necessary to pre-bake the pastry
shells.
TRUE OR FALSE
1. Assemble all ingredients and utensils needed and arrange them within easy reach.
2. Measure fats, press firmly into measuring spoon/ cups to overflowing then level off
with spatula. *225gms=1cup.
3. Make all measurements level using standard cups and measures are not so
important points in baking.
4. Pack brown sugar firmly into measuring cup and level off with spatula.
5. Use pastry crimper for perfectionists aiming to neat-looking pies.

After reading this information sheet the student must be able to:
1. identify hazards and risks;
2. control hazards and risks; and
3. maintain occupational health and safety awareness.
Introduction
There are lots of things that may affect the health of a person, such as his
environment, his lifestyle, etc. There are many who are not aware that work is an
important determinant of health. It can influence health in a positive or in a negative way.
Are you comfortable at work? How safe is your workplace? Do you think that you are
giving all you have for your work but it seems that it never is enough?
These are just some of the questions that you need to ask in order to assess
whether your workplace is healthy or not. A place that is safe, healthy and work-conducive
entails more productivity. In fact, with a healthy workplace you will be doing more work
with less effort.

What is risk?
Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an
adverse health effect caused by a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or
equipment loss. For example: The risk of developing cancer from smoking cigarettes
could be expressed as "cigarette smokers are more likely to die of lung cancer than non-
smokers”.

After reading this information sheet the student must be able to:
1. Enumerate mixing methods
2. Discuss and follow the proper way of mixing ingredients in pastry making.
Introduction
Many home bakers find some of my cakes difficult and overly complicated (like the
devil’s food chocolate cake or the vanilla chiffon genoise). If you’ve ever wondered why
a cake is made the way it is then this page is for you! Keep in mind, there is not only one
way to make a cake. The mixing method you choose is your preference – I prefer the
whipping method but many people prefer the blending method. Do not let anyone, not
even me, tell you your method is wrong. Some mixing methods are better for certain
tasks (cakes made with the whipping method turn into roulades better than blended cakes)
while some mixing methods are easier (blending is easier than whipping). Whatever your
reason for preferring one method over the other, just make sure it makes sense for you.

2. Coarsely dice remaining 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter. Place flour in work
bowl of food processor fitted with metal blade; add 4 tablespoons butter and pulse
until butter is absorbed -- about ten to twelve 1-second pulses.
3. Add remaining butter and pulse once or twice to distribute. Add water and pulse
3 or 4 times, just until dough forms a rough ball. Do not over-process.
4. Flour work surface and scrape dough from work bowl. Shape dough into a rough
rectangle and place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Press dough with rolling pin
to flatten, then roll back and forth several times with rolling pin to make a 12 by 18
inch rectangle of dough.
5. Peel away plastic wrap and invert dough to floured work surface. Peel away
second piece of wrap. Fold dough in thirds in the width, folding the top third down
and the bottom third up, to make a 6 by 18-inch rectangle, then roll up the dough
from one of the 6-inch ends, making sure to roll end under dough. Press the dough
into a square, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour, or until firm.
