Helps to: Develop new items Problem solve and change formulas Find shortcuts Substitute ingredients Streamline production Cut costs Baking Science The five basic baking ingredients can be divided into two categories: Stabilizers Liquefiers Basic Baking Ingredients Any ingredients that helps to develop the solid structure, or “framework,” of a finished product. Of the five basic baking ingredients: flour and egg are stabilizers. Flour is the bulk of most formulas, acting as a binding and absorbing agent. The gluten content of the flour will dictate the crumb structure of a finished product. Eggs lend stability during baking, as well as influence the crumb, flavor, and aroma. Eggs have leavening power, and as they are whipped, they trap air. Stabilizers Basic Baking Ingredients (cont’d) Help to loosen or liquefy a dough or batter. Of the five basic baking ingredients: water (or other liquids), fats, and sugar act as liquefiers. Water acts to dilute or liquefy water-soluble ingredients such as sugar and salt, and facilities their . | 4 Advanced Baking Principles Learning Objectives Discuss basic baking ingredients and how these ingredients interact with each other.
