These family can

help you with
that Come on!!!

Here are the Baking Ingredients and their Functions

Flour

-is the primary ingredient of

most baked products because it provides
the structure of the product.
Types of Flour:
- Wheat flour
- Bread flour
- All- purpose flour
- Rice flour
- Cake flour

Liquid-

ingredients are important for hydrating protein,

starch and leavening agents. Liquids contribute to the
moistness and texture of the products.
Types of Liquid:
- Water
- Milk and creams
- Juices

Fats-

Fats generally help to tenderize the

product and soften the structure, add
moistness and richness, increase keeping
quality, add flavor, assist in leavening when
used as creaming agents
Types of Fats:
- Butter
- Margarine
- Oil
- Lard
- Shortening

Sugar-

They generally add sweetness and

flavor, create tenderness and fineness of texture
(partly by weakening the gluten structure), give
color to the crust, increase keeping quality (by
retaining moisture), act as creaming agent with
fats, and provide food for yeast

Types of Sugar:
- Granulated or refine cane sugar
- Confectioner or powdered sugar
- Brown or raw sugar

Leavening Agents-

are responsible for

the production and incorporation of gases
during the baking process.
Types of Leavening Agents:
- Yeast
- Baking soda
- Baking powder

Eggs-

eggs perform many functions in the

production of baked products.

Yipee!!! We are done in

identifying the basic baking
ingredients and their
functions.
You are now ready to bake
the most delicious bread you
wish you baked..

I can help you with

that.. We will bake
many delicious
breads..
