Wheat Flour become bread

Oct 3, 2009

In our time student at the European Institute of Bread, we teach the "Proud of the Baker" and the immense responsibility of transforming the wheat grain cereal - digestible food and consumable most important of humanity -: In The Pan .

Formerly the ground wheat bread was turned into a food like cookies today, was flat, hard and crunchy, which Serbs as a cover, according to the evidence in the original cultures of the Middle East. Humans wheat consumed since ancient times, but it was done 4,500 years ago when the Egyptians developed sponge-like bread that we eat today. The process in which the bread dough to be baked grows, it is soft and spongy, was discovered by chance when an Egyptian baker bake some bread dough was prepared and forgotten for several days and was due to fermentation time yeast and bacteria in the environment, causing the growth of the mass and the spongy texture of bread baking. The Greeks developed the stone oven, the Romans developed the process of milling wheat, kneading thus could produce a whiter bread, soft and better. The modern era of industrialization brought the roller mill that allowed separate the germ and wheat bran automatically. The new flour could be stored for longer without being put stale. Also developed ovens heated by oil or gas and machines were invented intensive kneading.

The breads and bakery products (cakes, chunks, etc..) Are considered basic and common food, but its production is one of the most difficult and complex skills, within the universe of culinary professions. Not coincidentally, the production of quality bread is recognized as an art. In Europe the tradition of the bakeries, is very serious, that pass from generation to generation.

The process for developing a world-class bread involves: preparation and weighing ingredients, kneading, the initial fermentation, the dough handling, dividing pastures, preformed, fermentation in table formed, maturation or fermentation end, cutting, baked and finally cooling. Most of the problems that generate a low-quality bread, originates in the poor execution of procedures. A world-class bread requires careful execution in each of its phases.

A wide variety of breads, vary by country, culture and other factors. However, there are breads universally known, which is wherever you are. Thus we have: White French Bread (Baguettes) Rustic Breads (Campesino, Gallego, Ciabatta, Campagna) sliced bread (sandwich, Integral, Fruits) Grains Breads (Musli, Integral, 8 Grain), Rye Bread (Campesino , German, Pumpernickel, Black Russian) Festive Bread (Brioche, Jala, Panettone, Stollen) flaky breads (Croissant, Danish) Flat Bread (Pizza, Pita, Fougasse, Naan) Bread Not Fermented (Muffins, Irish Soda) ; Typical Bread (Pan Andean Cachito Ham Pan, Pan de Bono, Cassava Bread, Cheese Bread and many others). We need to prepare bread primary ingredient (flour, water, leavening and salt) enrichers ingredients (sugar, fat, dairy and eggs); complementary ingredients (nuts, herbs, olives, anise, cinnamon, chocolate and other), Additives ( ascorbic acid, oxidizers, enzymes, whiteners, Fermenters, matured, oxidizers).

Finally we know that "The Taste of Bread" depends on the equation: Procedure + Knowledge + Quality Ingredients, in that order. Quality of checks: The Flavor, Aroma, Texture Miga, Freshness, Service Life, Shape, and Color Bark. We are lovers of good French bread and a lot better if it's hot, so the recipe of the week is the French Baguette. Hasta pronto Amigos.

Wheat Flour Turned In Dessert

So far we have referred only to preparations of flour. His conversion in bread, pasta and Latin dishes, along those lines, then we need to address the issue of transformation of the flour in sweets, why write this week: Turned into Dessert Flour. Wheat flour is one of the basic elements among others, the structure and composition of a dessert whose clothing has three types of preparations: basic preparations, preparations advanced intermediates and preparations. The flour is involved in the most basic preparations, specifically in the mass production, pastas, cakes and cookies.

The masses are classified as simple yeast dough, is prepared by mixing flour with water, yeast and salt regularly are low in fat and sugars. It is the basis for making bread dough, yeast dough enriched, is one that incorporates the simple dough ingredients (flour, water, yeast), sugar, butter and sometimes eggs. Also almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, chocolate, butter, vanilla and others. With this mass produced bread, chocolate, plum babka (sweet bread of Hungary), Kugelhopf (German sweet bread), bread Lamon (sweet bread in southern Spain), pretzel, gulfs Venezuelans, quesadillas, and stollen; mass yeast widespread, is one where the fat is incorporated into the dough in several layers, by a process of extended and folded. The alternating layers of fat mass and give the product baked crisp and brittle texture. This is the mass to prepare the croissants and Danish pastry used; dough quick breads, is one that is prepared in a short time, because the self-rising action is made by chemical leavening. Mass is used to make tasty muffins, bread, dates and nuts and biscuits and dough products not baked in the oven, the dough is used for products that are cooked in fried like donuts, in greased pans as pancakes and plates specially designed as the waffles. This mass is not yeast.

The word pasta means a mixture of flour, liquid and fat. Note that not mention yeast. The pastes are usually not yeast. They are classified into: pie dough, as its name implies is that used to produce the pies. Its secret lies in the way that is kneaded and how to grow the gluten dough for tarts and pastries, is very similar to the mass of the pies, but is made from a dough enriched with different flavors pays paste; Puff pastry is a pastry made of many layers of fat sandwiched between layers of dough. It differs from the Danish dough is not yeast. Mass is used to make pastries and strudel pastry, éclair paste or choux is a slurry of French origin, used to make profiteroles and éclair, and dough for strudel (Hungarian) and phyllo (Greek) are very like both. They differ from the pastry that makes a soft dough prepared with flour strong, eggs and water. After kneading it to grow the gluten is stretched by hand to form a thin, transparent layer. It is the pulp used to make the famous strudel and bakava respectively.

The word cake (cakes) has different meaning in the world, is defined as pastry dough baked sweet, high in fat and sugar. A cake is a cake that can be offered in many forms, from simple cakes to cafes, to the elaborate decoration for weddings and other occasions.

The term cookie (in English "cookie") means "little cake", which corresponds to what is a cookie. In fact, some cookies are prepared with a cake mix. They require less liquid than the recipe for cakes. The cookie doughs range from very mild to very severe, it differs from pasta to cakes that are more watery.

It's a disc-shaped preparation, which began as a way to worship the sun and moon. So is the utensil round in which they cook: the griddle, also called aripo or in Mexico, comal. The origin or etymology of the word, some agree that comes from the Indian word "erepair", a term to define the maize within the tribe of the Cumanagotos. There is also the belief that its name is the name of the container where it made "aripo" - clay plate curve where indigenous corn grinding -. In Colombia, the tradition of eating corn bread is very serious. So much so that every year there are festivals in the Colombian Arepa 5 major cities: Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Cali, Medellin and Bogota.

Apart from Bogota cheese arepa and described the regional level are largely coastal fried arepas, which are prepared from corn pounded and / or precooked corn flour yellow or white, which you can add grated cheese and coastal salt. Also prepared the sweet corn pancake, which is added anise, charcoal grilled arepas or grilled, sometimes over bijao leaves that give a distinctive odor, which are filled with ground beef, try strained, chicken, pork, coastal cheese, sausage, chorizo, sausages, vegetables and sauces. The most famous are the arepa e 'egg Luruaco, Atlántico Barranquilla prepared with corn, which is a bit fried, stuffed with an egg, and finally finish frying. There are a variety of arepa 'e egg also carries ground beef. Prepared gourmet replaced by chicken egg, quail egg.

Antioquia or arepas paisas, preferred are the famous "crumbs", which are leftover arepas that are passed through water again, split into pieces and roasted with olive oil and butter white arepa paisa, no salt is prepared and served without stuffing to accompany any meal, or corn arepa of Chocolá, is a type of cornmeal made from corn cob. It is usually eaten hot, spread with butter and bits of Antioquia triangles above, the mule driver arepa, prepared with threshing corn dough soaked in water for a long time, usually 5 days, during which the water is changed daily. It is eaten with pork skin, nicknamed arepa whose main characteristic is that this is prepared without removing the corn bran. Nicknamed The arepa is clearly observed bran, which gives it a distinctive flavor and []; the stack corn arepa, prepared with whole corn, corn bread different from traditional country, which is made with cooked corn; arepa try strained, arepa paisa variety of traditional, uniquely made with cooked corn grain, without any dressing.

In Santander become "arepa greaves". This is significant because the grind corn, mixed with crackling, then dough balls are pressed with banana leaves. Another secret of this particular recipe is that the water used must be mixed with wood ashes.

The valley-arepa is consumed mainly in the department of Valle del Cauca. It is also eaten in the departments of Cauca and Nariño. The dough works well with water and salt and arepas are very thin. They get to grill until toasted, buttered eat.

* Clean the turkey before preparing it. Remove excess fat, feathers, etc..

* Remember that the parts of the turkey are similar to those of chicken (see parts of the chicken) but obviously a larger size.

* When preparing turkey stuffing, take care not to fill to the brim. During cooking the stuffing can expand and get out or damage the meat. It is better to leave a small space.

* In addition to sprinkle the turkey with sauce on the outside, it can be injected and thus avoid the meat is dry. A good option is to inject it with cognac, which will give you a taste.

* To prevent the breast is dry there are various options:
