What is the main ingredient of batters and doughs?
Flour
Gluten flour
Gluten flour is usually milled from hard spring wheat, which has a high protein and low starch composition. -made by mixing wheat flour with dried extracted gluten -14% protein
How does the bran interfere with gluten development
Gluten formation is negatively affected by the sharp bran particles that cut gluten strands and components in the germ that interfere with gluten development
hard winter wheat
Hard red winter wheat has a high protein content and produces a strong gluten flour. -fairly higher water absorption capacity and higher gluten forming protein content; they are suitable for bread-making purposes.

stiff
soft dough products include:
- baking powder biscuits, rolled cookies, yeast bread, and rolls.
cracked wheat
- not a flour - used extensively in baking breads and quick breads Rolled wheat is also used to make cookies and quick breads.
Doughs
-are thick enough to be handled or kneaded on a flat surface - Most are rolled in the final stages of preparation, although yeast dough is not usually rolled, except for the shaping of certain types of rolls. - may be soft (just stiff enough to handle) or stiff.
Drop batters
-batters are used for muffins, many quick breads, and various kinds of cookies. -containing approximately one part liquid to two parts flour, - gluten development readily occurs on mixing, and therefore the avoidance of over mixing is important. - batters, such as cookies, are stiff enough to require scraping from the spoon
Corn Masa Harina
-flour is produced by cooking corn in alkali and grinding it into flour -staple food for the Latin American culture, including Mexicans and Central Americans living in the United States. -It is used to produce corn tortillas, tamales, corn taco shells, .
Carbon Dioxide
-may be produced in a flour mixture either by a biological process or by a purely chemical reaction - biological production of carbon dioxide usually results with the action of yeast. -Bacteria may be another biological source for carbon dioxide in some products such as soda crackers. - Baking powder and baking soda are chemical leavening agents that are commonly used to produce carbon dioxide in baked goods
How is steam made?
-one volume of water increases more than 1,600 times when converted into steam, it has tremendous leavening power. -The water available for conversion to steam may be added as liquid or as a component of other ingredients, such as eggs. - mixtures have a high percentage of liquid, and baking is started at a high oven temperature, which rapidly causes steam to form.
Poolish and Other sponges

Bread flour (hard wheat)
-white flour made chiefly from hard wheat. -relatively high percentage of protein that develops into gluten. -Gluten contributes very strong, elastic properties when the flour is made into dough. -yeast breads
3 major leavening gases
1. air 2. steam or water vapor 3. carbon dioxide -In some flour mixtures, one of these leavening gases predominates, whereas in other products, two or three of the gases play important roles.
all purpose flour
All-purpose flour is a white refined flour that is sold primarily for home use. -sometimes used in small foodservice operations is labeled Hotel and Restaurant flour -made from a blend of hard and soft wheats -yeast breads, quick breads, cakes, pastry, egg noodles, and cookies, biscuits, pie crusts. protein content average about 11%

Amaranth flour, made by grinding the tiny amaranth seed, is used in some areas of Latin America, Africa, and Asia -13-14 percent protein content and is high in the amino acid lysine
Ammonium bicarbonate i
Ammonium bicarbonate is a chemical leavening agent with limited applications -used commercially only in baked products with low moisture level and large surface areas that are baked at high temperatures, -cookies, crakers

Barley flour
Barley flour is made by hammer milling pearled barley -Pearl barley is produced when the barley is decorticated—that is, removal of the "bark" or outer layers of the grain.
flour
Basic ingredients found in batters and doughs include ____________, leavening agents, liquid, fat, eggs and sweeteners.
Batters
Batters are classified as pour batters or drop batters, but considerable variation exists within each group.
foods containing acids and may be combined with soda in flour mixtures to release CO2 gas:
Buttermilk molasses brown sugar honey citrus fruit applesauce and other fruit vinegar cream of tartar - the usual amount of soda to combine with 1 cup of buttermilk or fully soured milk is ½ teaspoon. -1 teaspoon of soda is often recommended for use with 1 cup of molasses -acidity of honey and brown sugar is too low to allow their use in flour mixtures as the only source of acid to combine with soda
Yeast
Carbon dioxide is produced by the action of yeast and certain bacteria on sugar in a process called fermentation -biological reaction
bacteria
Certain bacteria also may produce leavening gas in flour mixtures. -One type produces hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases in salt-rising bread. -Sourdough bread also uses bacteria in producing leavening gas. Soda crackers use bacteria more than yeast for leavening.
Corn meal , corn flour
Corn meal is a granular product made from either white or yellow corn -Corn flour has the same properties as corn meal except that it is finer. -used in several types of quick breads.
Other wheat products
Cracked wheat- -Crushed wheat -Wheat germ

Durum wheats are used for some Mediterranean and Middle Eastern pastries and breads
Low protein/ soft wheat flours
Low-protein soft wheats or "weak" flours are used for cakes, pastries, cookies, and crackers.
millet and sorghum
Millet and sorghum are also grains that are decorticated and ground into flour; these are more popular in Africa, China, and India -Millet is a high protein cereal grain
Patent Flours

Prepared from soft wheat, -protein content of cake flour is very low compared to other types of flour. -preparation of delicate and fine-textured cakes.
Rice flour and Potato flour
Rice flour is fundamentally rice starch. It is a low-protein flour that does not produce gluten. Potato flour is used in some countries and, like rice flour, is chiefly starch.
Baking soda
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in a flour mixture gives off carbon dioxide (CO2) gas when heated -sodium bicarbonate is combined with various acids to release CO2 gas -baking soda is typically mixed with dry ingredients instead of liquids.
Soy Flour
Soy flour is made from soybeans, which are legumes -high in protein, it does not contain the proteins that form gluten
