Understanding Yeast Doughs

Learn more about the chemistry of baking products which contains yeast. Here are a few terms -- define or categorize accordingly.

AB
Lean Dough ProductsLow in fat and sugar; usually hard-crusted
Rich Dough ProductsContains higher proportions of fat, sugar, and sometimes eggs
Rolled-in Yeast Dough ProductsWhen fats are incorporated in many layers, such as danishes or croissants
ScalingMeasuring ingredients accurately by weight
Purposes of Mixingto combine ingredients, to distribute yeast evenly, and to develop gluten
Straight Dough Mixing MethodCombine all ingredients and mix all together
Modified Staight Dough Mixing MethodCombine the fat, sugar, salt, milkk products, and flavorings first, then add eggs gradually, then add flour and yeast
Sponge MethodCombine liquids and some of the solids, let ferment, then add remaining ingredients to mix into uniform, smooth dough
FermentationProcess by which yeast acts on the sugars and starches to produce CO2 and alcohol
PunchingMethod of deflating the dough to expel CO2, redistribute yeast for further growth, relaxes gluten, and equalizes temperature
RoundingProcess to divide the dough and stretch the gluten
BenchingProcess to allow rounded dough to rest and felax gluten for easier shaping of dough
Makeup and PanningShaping of dough to loaves or rolls then placed onto sheets or pans
ProofingContinuation of yeast fermentation that increases the volume of the shaped dough
BakingProcess ot create "oven spring", coagulation of proteins, gelatenizaiton of starches, and formation and browning of the crust
Oven SpringRapid rise of the dough due to production and expansion of trapped gasses
WashesAids in creation of crust. Examples are egg wash, water, or starch paste
CoolingAllows escape of excess moisture and alcohol during fermentation
StoringTo prevent staling of bread, store properly by moisture proof bags or freezing
Factors in Controlling FermentationTime, temperature, yeast quantity, salt content, water, and dough richness (sugar)
