Hi, this is Topic 1 : Preparation Prior to bread making
Session 1.

There are 4 sessions to get through starting with Calculate total dough weight


Collect a copy of the Hot cross bun Recipe Recipe 33 from the Bakers Delight Recipe Book




Watch Video 1 on Preparation Prior to Bread Making on how to calulate Total Dough Weight (TDW) using a calcuator







Multiply the scale weight (identified in the recipe) by the number of products to get the total weight for the Hot Cross Bun Recipe ie: 90 x 0.080g = Total Dough Weight (TDW).

Then complete this activity: Open this production sheet and calculate the TDW for each product for this days production and email spreadshett to gary.sewell@tafensw.edu.au or post onto your BLOG.



Answer the following question: State the importance of correctly calculating the required.


Email your answers to your blog. Titled: 1/1 Preparation Prior to Bread Making

Hi, this is Topic 1: session 2: Expected Yield Factor





Watch Video 2 on Expected Yield Factor and refer to the Hot Cross Bun Dough recipe (Recipe 10)

Expected Yield Factor (EYF) is determined by adding the proportion of each ingredient relative to the amount of flour required to make the dough.

For example: Add all numbers in the % column to give a total percentage or EYF. Place a decimal point after the first decimal; this will help give a true flour weight in the next section.

Complete this task: Refer to Recipe Book and identify 5 recipes and the EYF for each.

Email your results from the task and answer the following question to your Blog.

State the importance of calculating the EYF correctly. Titled: 1/2 Expected Yield Factor

Hi, this is Topic 1: session 3 Calculating Flour Weight



Watch Video 3 on Calulate Flour Weight this video on Calculating Flour Weight

The flour weight is the weight of the flour component of the dough.

This is calculated by dividing the total dough weight (TDW) by the Expected Yield Factor (EYF).

(TDW) ÷ (EYF) = Flour Weight

Note: Alternatively to calculate the yield (TDW) from the flour weight “how much dough can I get from the flour weight” multiply the Flour Weight by the expected yield factor.

From the 5 doughs you identified in session 2 calculate the flour weight for each and record on your BLOG.

Email the answers to the task and the following question to your Blog. Titled: 1/3 Calculating Flour Weight

Explain 3 factors of correctly calculating the flour weight.

Complete the attached dough formula and state why it is important to correctly calulate and weigh ingredients? Refer to your Baking Overview on pages 3 to 5 and your module notes pages 29 to 33. Post your answers to the Blog Titled: Weigh Ingredients 3/1



Step 2: Water Temperature.

The intial temperature of the water added to your ingredients will effect the finished dough temperature which in turn effects the quality of your final product.

Read the information on Water Temperature and Finished Dough Temperature, found on page 13 of your Bakers Delight Resource package

Identify 3 varieties of dough you produce and document the intial water temperature and the finished dough temperature for each. Record this information on your BLOG.

    When producing white dough in the day’s production, we are going to look at the development of the dough during mixing.

    Once the dough is at the fast mixing stage remove 550g of dough after 1, 3, 5 and 7 minutes of mixing, then at the end of the correct mixing times also weigh off 550g and produce cobs with all the dough pieces.

    For each of the dough pieces ensure you document the following information onto your blog - the mixing time, the dough temperature and the look and feel of the dough when making a dough matrix.

    Process the cobs are per normal and bake off.
    Then document a description of the final baked product.

Using the cobs you have produced ensure you have fill in the attached sheet to identify the dough development of each cob. Print sheet, fill in required information then transfer your findings to your Blog.
