6. Add salt and water. Mix very gently, just until water is absorbed. Don't overwork the dough.
7. Place the dough in pans, cover with plastic film, and place in the refrigerator or retarder for several hours.
4 Blitz Puff Pastry -Blitz puff pastry is actually a flaky pie dough that is rolled and folded like regular puff dough.
.
-Much easier and quicker to make than classic puff dough. (Blitz is German for "lightning")
5 Canned Fruit for Pie -Frozen fruits are widely used for pies because they are consistent in quality and readily available.
. Filling
-Canned fruits can also be of high quality.
-Solid pack (with little juice) gives a higher yield of fruit per can than syrup or water pack.
6 Chiffon Pie -Made with fillings that are lightened by the addition of beaten egg white.
.
7 Chiffon Pie Fillings -Chiffon fillings are made by adding gelatin to a cream filling or to a thickened fruit and juice mixture and then
. folding in egg whites and/or whipped cream.
-The mixture is then poured into baked pie shells and allowed to set.
-These preparations are the same as chiffon desserts, bavarians, and some mousses and cold soufflés.
8 Common Meringue -Made from egg whites at room temperature, beaten with sugar.
.
-It is the easiest to make, and it is reasonably stable due to the high percentage of sugar.
9. A common pie fault is an under-baked bottom crust 1. Use mealy dough for bottom crusts.
or a crust that soaks up moisture from the filling.
-Mealy dough absorbs less liquid than flaky dough.
Soggy bottoms can be avoided in several ways:
2. Use high bottom heat, at least at the beginning of baking, to set the crust
quickly.
-If you use disposable aluminum pans, choose pans with the bottoms colored
black.
10 Cooked Fruit Method -Used when the fruit requires cooking or there is not enough liquid for the cooked
. juice method.
11 Cooked Juice Method -The advantage of the cooked juice method is that only the juice is cooked.
.
-The fruit retains better shape and flavor because it is subjected to less heat and
handling.
12 Cooking starches -To avoid lumping, starches must be mixed with a cold liquid or sugar before being
. added to a hot liquid.
-When possible, all or part of the sugar and strong acids like lemon juice should be
added after the starch has thickened.
13 Cornstarch as a filling thickener -Used for cream pies because it sets up into a firm gel that holds its shape when
. sliced.
-May also be used for fruit pies.
15 Cream Pie Fillings -Cream pie fillings are the same as puddings, which, in turn, are the same as basic
. pastry creams with added flavorings such as vanilla, chocolate, or coconut.
-Lemon filling is made by the same method, using water and lemon juice instead of
milk.
-The one difference between puddings and pie fillings you should note is that
CREAM PIES ARE MADE WITH CORNSTARCH (so that slices hold their shape when
cut).
16 Crumb Crust -Graham cracker crusts are popular because they have an appealing flavor and are
. much easier to make than pastry crusts.
-Baking the crust makes a firmer, less crumbly crust and increases flavor.
17 Custard pies include those containing large quantities Egg
. of ____.
-Such as pumpkin pie and pecan pie.
19 Dried Fruit for Pie Filling -Before being made into pie fillings, the dried fruit must be rehydrated by:
.
1. Soaking
and
2. Simmering
-An efficient way to trim excess dough is to rotate the pie tin while pressing on
the edges with the palms of the hands.
23 Éclair paste must be firm enough to? -Hold its shape when piped from a pastry bag.
.
-Occasionally, you may find a formula that produces too slack a dough; correct
such a formula by reducing the water or milk slightly.
24 Éclairs and Cream Puffs are made from a dough -Eclair Paste (or Choux Paste.)
. called:
-The French name pâte à choux (pot a shoo) means "cabbage paste," referring to
the fact that cream puffs look like little cabbages.
25 Explain the process of baking Éclair Paste: -Start at a high temperature (425°-475°F) for the first 10 minutes to develop
. steam.
-Then reduce the heat to 375°-425°F to finish baking and set the structure.
-They must be firm and dry before being removed from the oven.
-If removed too soon or cooled too quickly, they may collapse.
26 Flaky Pie Dough -The fat is cut or rubbed into the flour until the particles of shortening are
. about the size of peas or hazelnuts.
-That is, the flour is not completely blended with the fat, and the fat is left in
pieces.
-When water is added, the flour absorbs water and develops some gluten.
-When the dough is rolled out, the lumps of fat and moistened flour are
flattened and become flakes of dough separated by layers of fat.
27 The flour is more completely coated with fat in a Mealy 1. The crust is very short and tender because less gluten can develop.
. Pie Dough, so the result is:
2. Less water is needed in the mix because the flour won't absorb as much as
in flaky dough.
3. The baked dough is less likely to absorb moisture from the filling and
become soggy.
28 Flour, Tapioca, and other Starches as a filling thickner -Used less frequently.
.
-Flour has less thickening power than other starches and makes the product
cloudy.
29 For best results, when should Éclair Paste be prepared? -As needed.
.
-Éclair Paste shouldn't be made in advance for the best baking results.
31 For variation in a Crumb Crust: -Vanilla or chocolate wafer crumbs or gingersnap crumbs may be used instead
. of graham cracker crumbs.
32 Fresh Fruit for Pie Filling -Fresh fruits make excellent pies if they are at their seasonal peak.
.
-Fresh apples are used extensively for high-quality pies.
-The quality of fresh fruits can vary considerably, and fresh fruit pies require a
lot of labor.
33 Fruit Pie -Contain fruit fillings and usually have a top crust.
.
3. Sugar
4. Spices
5. Starch Thickener
35 Fruits must have sufficient acid (tartness) to make -Lemon, orange, or pineapple juice to supply the acid.
. flavorful fillings.
3. Avoid touching the cut edges with your fingers; this can make the layers stick
together.
-Even sharp cutting tools may press the top layers of dough together.
-Baking upside down puts the stuck-together layers at the bottom.
-Egg wash can cause the layers to stick together at the edges.
6. Rest made-up products for 30 minutes in a cool place or in the refrigerator before
baking.
-This relaxes the gluten and reduces shrinkage.
-After being rolled out and given another three-fold, they may be used again,
although they will not rise as high.
8. Baking temperatures of 400°-425°F are best for most puff dough products.
-Cooler temperatures do not create enough steam in the products to leaven them
well.
-Higher temperatures set the crust too quickly.
39 How can Meringue be used in place of cake layers or pastry -Bake in a slow oven until crisp.
. shells to make light, elegant desserts?
40 How can you avoid lumping when cooking starches? -Starches must be mixed with a cold liquid or sugar before being added
. to a hot liquid.
41 How can you avoid spilling custard filling when pouring it into a -Place the empty shell on the rack in the oven and then pour in the
. pie pastry? filling.
42 How can you keep your Cream Puff from collapsing when -Be sure that it isn't removed too soon or cooled too quickly.
. taking it out of the oven?
-Some bakers like to leave them in a turned-off oven with the door ajar.
43 How is éclair paste similar to popover batter, even though one -Both products are leavened by steam, which expands the product
. is a thick dough and the other a thin batter? rapidly and forms large holes in the center.
-The heat of the oven then coagulates the gluten and egg proteins to
set the structure and make a firm product.
44 If all butter is used in place of shortening, how much should the -About one-fourth.
. percentage of fat in the formula be increased by?
-If 1 pound shortening is called for, use 1 pound 4 ounces butter.
46 _______ is the preferred fat for rolling in because of its flavor Butter
. and melt-in-the-mouth quality.
47 Italian Meringue -Made by beating a hot sugar syrup into the egg whites.
.
-This meringue is the most stable of the three basic meringues because
the egg whites are actually cooked by the heat of the syrup.
49 Making Cream Puffs and Profiteroles 1. Line sheet pans with silicone paper, or butter them lightly.
.
2. Fit a large pastry bag with a plain tube.
(If you prefer, you may drop the dough from a spoon)
4. Bake at 425°F for 10 minutes.
-Lower the heat to 375°F until the puffs are well browned and very
crisp.
9. Unfilled and uncut puffs, if they are thoroughly dry, may be held in
plastic bags in the refrigerator for 1 week.
-Recrisp in the oven for a few minutes before use.
50 Many kinds of pie filling, especially fruit fillings and cream fillings, -Starch
. depend on _______ for their thick texture.
51 Mealy Pie Dough -The fat is blended into the flour more thoroughly, until the mixture
. looks like coarse cornmeal. The result is:
1. The crust is very short and tender because less gluten can develop.
2. Less water is needed in the mix because the flour won't absorb as
much as in flaky dough.
3. The baked dough is less likely to absorb moisture from the filling
and become soggy.
55 Mixing Pie Dough -Hand mixing is best for small quantities of dough, especially flaky dough,
. because it gives more control over the mixing.
56 Old-Fashioned Pie Method -This method is best suited to pies made with fresh apples or peaches.
.
-It is not as widely used in food service as the other methods because it is more
difficult to control the thickening of the juices.
57 Pâte à Choux -The French term meaning "cabbage paste," referring to the fact that cream
. (pot a shoo) puffs look like little cabbages.
59 Pie Pastry Ingredient: -Regular Hydrogenated shortening is the most popular fat for pie crusts.
.
Fat -Lard is an excellent shortening for pies because it is firm and plastic.
-It is desirable, if costs permit, to blend a quantity of butter into the shortening
used for pie crusts to improve flavor.
60 Pie Pastry Ingredient: -Pastry flour is the best choice for pie doughs.
.
Flour -It has enough gluten to produce the desired structure and flakiness, yet is low
enough in gluten to yield a tender product, if handled properly.
-If stronger flours are used, the percentage of shortening should be increased to
provide more tenderness.
61 Pie Pastry Ingredient: -Water is necessary to develop some gluten in the flour and to give structure
. and flakiness to the dough.
Liquid
-Whether water or milk is used, it must be added cold (40°F or colder) to
maintain proper dough temperature.
62 Pie Pastry Ingredient: -Salt has some tenderizing and conditioning effect on the gluten.
.
Salt -Main contribution is to FLAVOR.
-Salt MUST be dissolved in the liquid before being added to the mix to ensure
even distribution.
3. Water
4. Salt
64 Procedure for Cooked Fruit Method 1. Bring the fruit and its juice or water to a boil.
.

2. Dissolve the starch in cold water and stir it into the fruit.
-Return the fruit mixture to a boil and cook until it is clear and thickened.
3. Add sugar, salt, flavorings, and other ingredients and stir until dissolved.
(Variation: Some fruits, such as fresh apples, may be cooked in butter rather than
boiled in water for better flavor.)
65 Procedure for Cooked Juice Method 1. Drain the juice from the fruit.
.
2. Measure the juice and, if necessary, add water or other fruit juice to bring it to the
desired volume.
3. Bring the juice to a boil.
4. Dissolve the starch in cold water and stir it into the boiling juice.
-Return the juice to the boil and cook until it is clear and thickened.
6. Pour the thickened juice over the drained fruit and mix gently.
7. Cool.
66 Procedure for making a Pie Topping 1. Make common meringue or Swiss meringue using equal parts sugar and egg whites.
.
-Beat until just stiff.
-Mound it slightly, and be sure to attach it to the edge of the crust all around.
-If this is not done, the meringue may slide around on the finished pie.
-Leave the meringue in ripples or peaks.
67 Procedure for Making Baked Alaska 1. Pack softened ice cream into a dome-shaped mold of the desired size.
.
-Freeze solid.
2. Prepare a layer of sponge cake the same size as the flat side of the mold and about ½ inch
thick.
3. Unmold the frozen ice cream onto the cake layer so the cake forms a base for the ice cream.
4. With a spatula, cover the entire dessert with a thick layer of meringue.
-If desired, decorate with more meringue forced from a pastry bag.
68 Procedure for Making Baked Meringue 1. Beat common or Swiss meringue until stiff.

lined baking sheet.
5. Example of Uses:
69 Procedure for making Cream 1. Roll out puff dough into a sheet ⅛ inch thick and about 15 inches wide.
. Horns
2. Cut out strips 1¼ inches wide by 15 inches long.
4. With the washed side out, roll the strips diagonally onto cream horn tubes, making a spiral.
-The end of the dough strip should be on the bottom so it does not pop up during baking.
-Let rest 30 minutes.
70 Procedure for making Eclairs 1. Proceed as for cream puffs, except pipe the dough into strips about ¾ inch wide and 3-4 inches long.
.
-Bake as for cream puffs.

(B) Cut a slice lengthwise from the top and fill using a pastry bag.
3. Slide the paper with the paste into a deep fryer heated to 375°F.
-French doughnuts must be completely fried, or they may collapse when cooling.
1. Roll puff dough into a very thin sheet about the size of a sheet pan.
5. Trim the edges of the pastry sheet and cut with a serrated knife into equal strips 4 inches wide.
6. Spread one rectangle with Vanilla Pastry Cream or with a mixture of pastry cream and whipped
cream.
11. To decorate, pipe 4 strips of chocolate fondant lengthwise on the white fondant.
-Draw a spatula or the back of a knife across the top in opposite directions, 1 inch apart.
74 Procedure for making Patty 1. Roll out puff dough to ⅛ inch thick.
. Shells
2. Roll a second piece of dough to ¼ inch thick.
3. Cut out the same number of circles from each piece of dough with a round 3-inch cutter.
4. Using a 2-inch cutter, cut out the centers of the thick circles.
5. Wash the thin circles with water or egg wash and place a ring on top of each.
-Wash the top carefully with egg wash (do not drip wash down the edges).
-Let rest 30 minutes.
6. Place a sheet of greased parchment over the tops of the shells to prevent their toppling over while
baking.
4. Cut diagonally from the corners to about 1 inch from the centers.
5. Fold every other corner into the centers and press in place.
6. Bake at 400°F.
7. Let cool.
76 Procedure for Making Small Fruit 1. Roll out chilled short dough on a floured surface until it is slightly less than ¼ inch thick.
. Tarts
2. With a round cutter about ½ inch larger than the top diameter of your individual tart shells, cut
(FYI) the dough into circles.
3. For each shell, fit a circle of dough into a tin and press it well against the bottom and sides.
-If you are using fluted tins, make sure the dough is thick enough on the sides so it won't break apart
at the ridges.
4. Fit paper liners inside the shells and fill with dried beans to keep the dough from blistering or
puffing while baking.
5. Bake at 400°F about 15 minutes, or until the shells are fully baked.
6. Cool the shells completely and remove them from the tins.

78 Procedure for Old-Fashioned Pie 1. Mix the starch and spices with the sugar until uniformly blended.
. Method
2. Mix the fruit with the sugar mixture.
79 Procedure for Preparing (Note: For pies without a top crust, omit steps 3 through 7)
. Baked Pies
1. Line the pie pan with pie dough as in the basic procedure
5. Moisten the rim of the bottom crust to help seal it to the top crust.
7. Brush the top with the desired wash: milk, cream, eggs and milk, or water. Sprinkle with granulated
sugar if desired.
80 Procedure for Preparing 1. Line a pie pan with pie dough as in the basic procedure.
. Unbaked Pies
2. Dock the crust well with a fork to prevent blistering.
3. Place another pan inside the first one so the dough is between 2 pans. This is called double-panning.
4. Place the pans upside down in an oven preheated at 450°F (230°C). Baking upside down helps keep the
dough from shrinking down into the pan.
Some bakers like to chill the crusts before baking to relax the gluten and help reduce shrinkage.
5. Bake at 450°F (230°C) for 10-15 minutes. The top pan may be removed during the last part of baking so
the crust can brown.
-Experienced bakers are able to roll crusts using less dough because less must be trimmed when
the dough is rolled to a perfect circle of the exact size needed.
5. For single-crust pies, flute the edges, if desired, and trim off excess dough.
Some bakers feel that fluted edges add to the appearance of the product. Others feel that fluting
takes too much time and produces only a rim of heavy dough that customers leave on their plates.
-Steam, created when the moisture in the dough layers is heated, is responsible for the spectacular
rising power of puff pastry.
83 Puff pastry is a rolled-in dough, like -Fat
. Danish and Croissant Dough.
-Unlike Danish dough, however, puff pastry contains no yeast.
This means it is made up of many
layers of ___ sandwiched between
layers of dough.
84 The quantity of pie crust dumped in the garbage after customers have eaten out the filling is -Shortening
. evidence that many people aren't satisfied with the taste of pie crusts made with
_____________? -Lard is an excellent shortening for pies
because it is firm and plastic.
85 Rolling-in Procedure for Puff (a) Dust the bench lightly with flour.
. Pastry:
-Roll dough to a rectangle about 3 times as long as it is wide and about ½ inches thick.
-Make the corners as square as possible.
-Form the butter into a rectangle two-thirds the size of the dough, leaving room around the edges, and
place on the dough as shown.
(b) Fold the third without fat over the center third.
(d) Turn the dough 90 degrees on the bench so the length becomes the width.
-This step must be taken before each rolling-out so the gluten is stretched in all directions, not just
lengthwise.
-Failure to do this results in products that deform or shrink unevenly when they bake.
-Before rolling, beat the dough lightly as shown so the butter is evenly distributed.
-Roll the dough into a rectangle.
-Make sure the corners are square.
-Roll smoothly and evenly.
-Do not press down when rolling, or the layers may stick together and the product not rise properly.
-After another rest, the dough is ready to be rolled out and made up into the desired products.
86 Rubbed Dough Method -The mixing method for pie doughs, although the procedure has several steps, the two main steps
. are:
(Note: Weights are guidelines only. Exact weights may vary, depending on the filling and the depth of
the pans.)
-Because short dough is difficult to handle, it is used primarily for small fruit tarts.
Disadvantages:
-Puff pastry shortening can be unpleasant to eat because it tends to congeal and coat the inside of
the mouth.
93 Swiss Meringue -Made from egg whites and sugar warmed over a double boiler while beating.
.
-Warming gives this meringue better volume and stability.
94. To test Custard or Soft Fillings for doneness: 1. Shake the pie very gently.
-The center will still be slightly soft but will continue cooking
in its own heat after the pie is removed from the oven.
95. Trimmings Pie Dough -Reworked scraps or trimmings are tougher than freshly
made dough.
Although Puff Pastries include no added leavening agent, it can rise to 8 -Steam, created when the moisture in the dough layers is
times its original thickness when baked. heated, is responsible for the spectacular rising power of puff

-Flaky doughs are used for top crusts and for prebaked pie
shells.
-Fruit pies are usually baked at this high heat until done.
-The difference between the two is how the fat is blended with the
flour.
107 Waxy maize and other Modified Starches as a filling thickener -Best for fruit pies because they are clear when set and make a soft
. paste rather than a firm gel.
-Waxy maize should be used for pies that are to be frozen because it is
not broken down by freezing.
108 What crust is used when making an unbaked pie, such as Crumb Crust
. cream pies and chiffon pies?
-Be sure the flavor of the crust is compatible with the filling.
-They are also used to give volume and lightness to buttercream icings
and to such preparations as dessert soufflés.
110 What is the difference between short dough and regular pie -Short dough is richer than regular pie pastry, as it contains butter,
. pastry? sugar, and eggs.
111 What is the difference between short-flake and long-flake pie Short-Flake Pie Dough
. dough? The fat is cut or rubbed into the flour until the particles of shortening
are about the size of peas or hazelnuts.
112 What is the greatest difficulty in cooking soft pies? 1. Cooking the crust completely yet not overcooking the filling.
.
2. Start the pie at the bottom of a hot oven (425°-450°F) for first 10 minutes
to set the crust.
113 What is the result of milk being used in a pie pastry? -Milk makes a rich dough that browns quickly.
.
-However, the crust is less crisp, and the production cost is higher.
-Whether water or milk is used, it must be added cold (40°F or colder) to
maintain proper dough temperature.
114 What is the result of too little water being used in a pie -The crust will fall apart.

117 -What's the most important rule when making -Make sure that all equipment is free of any trace of fat or grease, and that
. Meringue? the egg whites have no trace of yolk in them.
-Even a small trace of fat will prevent the whites from foaming properly.
118 What two criteria are important when selecting apples 1. Taste:
. for pies?
-The apples should have a good flavor and a good level of acidity.
(apples that are very mild make pies with little flavor.)
-The sugar content, or sweetness, of the apple, is less important, as the
sugar in the recipe can be adjusted.
2. Texture:
-Apples that turn to mush, such as McIntosh, are better for applesauce than
for pies.
119 What two groups may pies be classified into, based on 1. Baked pies:
. method of assembling and baking?
-Raw pie shells are filled and then baked.
2. Unbaked pies:
-Baked pie shells are filled with a prepared filling, chilled, and served when
the filling is firm enough to slice.
120 What varieties of apples are best for making pies? Popular apple varieties that have good taste and texture for use in pie
. fillings include:
1. Granny Smith
2. Jonathan

9. Golden Delicious
121 When making pie pastry what determines success or failure? 1. How the shortening and flour are mixed.
.
2. How the gluten is developed.
-The key to making pie dough is proper technique, and you will
remember the techniques better if you understand why they work.
122 When possible, all or part of the sugar and strong acids like After

127 Why isn't butter frequently used in volume production, even 1. It's expensive
. though it contributes excellent flavor to pie pastry?
2. It melts very easily
(making the dough difficult to work)
128 Why is puff pastry or puff dough one of the most difficult of all -Because it consists of over 1000 layers, many more than Danish
. bakery products to prepare? dough, the rolling-in procedure requires a great deal of time and care.
1 Bread ...is a baked staple food, basically made from flour, liquid and other ingredients
.
2 Flour Bread flour, all purpose flour, or a combination of both maybe used in making bread. Flour with more gluten has an
. advantage in the stretching of the dough. This type of flour can withstand extensive kneading, rolling, and molding,
processes that are used in handling the bread dough.
3 Importance of Mixing 1. Mixing distributes the yeast cells uniformly in the dough
. Process in Bread
Making 2. It distributes the sugar which is food for the yeast; it makes the dough smooth and free from lumps
3. Develops the gluten properly
3. Liquid
4. Other ingredients
a. Sugar
b. Salt
c. Shortening
6 Leavener Yeast is the leavener that gives volume to the bread. Dried or compressed yeast is used for bread making. Each one
. is activated by combining water and sugar. Through chemical reactions, the sugar is converted by the yeast into
alcohol and carbon dioxide gas. This gas gives volume to the bread when it is baked. This reaction is fermentation.
Chemical leaveners (baking powder and baking soda) are used to raise quick bread or biscuits, like in yeast bread,
carbon dioxide gas released from these chemical leaveners, gives volume to the breads.
8. Punching of The dough is punched down to release some of the carbon dioxide gas trapped inside. This will also relax the expanded
Dough gluten in the dough
9. Resting of The dough is made to stand for a while before baking to:
Dough
1. Allow the dough to regain the lost carbon dioxide released during punching
2. Attain proper volume
10 Rising the The period of rising the dough starts when the yeast is mixed with the other ingredients until the yeast is killed during the
. Dough baking. When the yeast reacts chemically with sugar, carbon dioxide gas is released. This gas is trapped in the gluten in the
youth, thus making the dough expand or rise.
14 Two Methods 1. Straight dough method. In this method all the ingredients are mixed together at the same time. After kneading, the
. of Mixing dough is set aside for a single fermentation. Products made from the straight dough method are not fine in texture and
Dough cannot be kept for long
2. Sponge dough method. In this method there are two mixing and two fermentation periods. In the first mixing, parts of
the ingredients are mixed into the sifter dough. The dough then undergoes the process of kneading, rolling, and molding.
When the dough is elastic, the second fermentation is allowed to take place
15 Types of Yeast 1. Active dry yeast. This is a dry and dormant yeast that has to be reactivated. It contains just enough water within its
. cells to keep it alive. If you use this type of yeast, soften it first in the required amount of water at 105 deg F, or
lukewarm water. If you do not have thermometer, experience will show you that water hotter than lukewarm water will
kill the yeast, and cooler water will retard the fermentation process.
2. Compressed yeast. This type of yeast contains more water than active dry yeast. Less amount of lukewarm water (80
deg F) is needed to activate it
2. Cholesterol A fat like substance that occurs naturally in the body and is found in every cell, but occur only in foods of animal origin.
3. Cut-in To distribute small pieces of fat with dry ingredients using a pastry blender
4. Fermentation The process by which yeast converts sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide; it also refers to the time that yeast dough is
left to rise.
7. Gluten The protein of flour that gives elasticity to dough and structure to baked products.
8. Herb Crushed parts of plants used to flavor foods, usually used in small amounts
9. Hydrogenation Hydrogen is a chemically added to an unsaturated compound especially to an unsaturated fat or fatty acid.
10 Knead To work dough with hands, using pressing motion, then folding.
.
11 Lattice The method of putting pastry on top of a pie in a basket weave pattern.
.
13 Oven Spring Sudden dramatic rise of a yeast dough that takes place during the first few minutes of baking.
