  1. BREAD

  2. Cereals provide Bread • Cereals are the World’s staple • Provide the majority of carbohydrates as starch for the world’s population • Members of the grass family • Wheat • Rice • Maize • Oat, Rye Barley, Sorghum

  3. How are they used? • Direct consumption • Rice, Maize, Oats • Milled for flour • Wheat, Rice, Maize, Rye • Milled for starch • Maize, wheat, rice • Fermentation substrate • Barley, Wheat, Rye, Rice, Maize

  4. Milling • Grains crushed by a series of rollers • Remove hull and bran • Remove germ (embryo) • Pulverise endosperm • Wholemeal flour • Contains bran & embryo • Higher lipid content, rancidity problem

  5. Mills • 8,000 BC first grain crops, hand crushing • 1,500 BC Millstones • 1,000 BC animal powered mills • 400 BC watermills • 1,000 windmills • 1780 steam power • 1870 use of steel rollers

  6. Flour • Carbohydrate • Bulk of endosperm, in intact starch granules • Protein • Endosperm storage proteins • Wheat 13% protein • Glutenin & Gliadin • Lipid • Mostly removed with embryo

  7. Types of Flour • Strong flour • From hard wheat • High protein content • For bread • Soft flour • From soft wheats • Lower protein content • For cakes & biscuits

  8. Bread • Dough formation • Mixture of flour & water • Water uptake depends on protein content • Kneading • Developing gluten • Leavening • Generation of gas to expand dough • Baking

  9. Straight Dough • Flour & water mixture • Yeast, leavening agent • Sugar for yeast growth • Salt for yeast metabolism • Fat to soften texture, reduce staling. • Saturated fats better • 5% in bread 30-50% in cakes • Milk to improve crumb texture • Kneading to mix thoroughly • Develop elastic gluten network

  10. Proofing • Incubate 30°C 1 to 2h • Yeast fermentation • Production of ethanol & CO2 • Gas expands dough • Elastic dough will stretch • Punching, allows some CO2 to escape • Moulding & shaping

  11. Cake All-purpose Strong bread

  12. Alternative leavening agents • Baking powder • Acid + alkali mix • Cream of tartar & baking soda • Produces CO2 when heated • Mechanical • Beating or creaming to whip in air • Steam generation • Whipped egg white

  13. Baking • 250 – 300°C, 30 – 60 min • Further gas generation • Dough rises to final shape • Yeast killed off • Starch gelatinises • Gluten coagulates • Bread becomes hard • Crust develops and browns

  14. Sponge Dough • Moderately stiff dough • Only 50 % of the flour + yeast & sugar • Fermented 3 –4 hours • Remaining flour, fats & water added • Finer texture, smaller gas holes

  15. Batter whipped process • Chorleywood Process • Continuous production • Liquid fermentation with little flour • Remaining flour added • Agitated to incorporate air • Extruded into baking pans • Fine uniform texture

  16. Starch • Starch, main polysaccharide in flour • Present in starch granules • Contains 2 polysaccarides • Amylose & amylopectin • As heat increases • Starch granules absorb water & swell • Release amylose from granule • On cooling • Amylose molecules combine to form gel

  17. Starch Retrogradation • Realignment of amylose chains • Stick to each other more strongly • Forms more rigid crystalline structure • Slow process so takes time • Inhibited by fats that can interact with amylose • Starch becomes harder

  18. Staling • Stale bread = old bread • Harder texture • Crumb more brittle • Dryer, poor release of flavour • Promoted by low temperature • Regeneration possible by wet heat

  19. Bread deterioration • Prone to fungal contamination • Fungal growth normally prevented in foods by low humidity and temperature • Dry storage at low temp. promotes staling • Added mould inhibitors common • Eg. Calcium propionate
