How to prepare a yeast starter
•
Pour the amount of warm water indicated in the recipe into a clean glass bowl . Then add the
necessary amount of fresh or pressed yeast together with 1 teaspoon of sugar and one teaspoon
of flour . Carefully mix everything together and cover with a plastic bag . Leave it in a warm place
(30 °C) for approximately 30 minutes or until the mixture foams up . This mixture should be used
immediately .
Rising in a warm location
•
Yeast, whether it be during fermentation or in the dough, requires heat to gain in volume . Create
a warm place for rising your dough by placing a metal baking tray onto a bowl with sufficiently
hot water . Place the prepared dough on to the baking tray and cover with a lightly greased thicker
plastic bag or a kitchen wiping cloth . A warm location without a draft is required for dough to rise .
Allow the dough to rise until it doubles in volume .
CAKE AND PASTRY DOUGH – INGREDIENTS
FLOUR
Flour used for cakes and fine pastries should have a lower protein (gluten) content, than flour used for
baking bread .
Medium-fine and fine flour
This flour has a lower protein (gluten) content and gives the baked goods, such as cakes, tarts, fine
pastry, pancakes a finer texture .
Flour with baking powder
It is a mixture of flour and leavening agents such as baking powder . To make 1 cup of the flour and
baking powder mixture, mix 1 cup of flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder .
Whole wheat flour
Contains bran and wheat germ and may be used in doughs for tarts and pies . The texture of a product
made from whole wheat flour will be denser .
Corn flour
It is made from corn and is used for certain baked goods to which it loans a finer texture . It may be used
to thicken sauces and desserts .
Rice flour
It is made from rice and is used to make the texture of baked goods finer, for example for shortcrust
pastry .
BAKING POWDER
It is used as a leavening agent in baking .
BAKING SODA
It is known as sodium bicarbonate . It can be used as an additional leavening agent or for darkening
certain baked goods .
BUTTER
It provides a specific taste and a fine texture to baked goods . In certain recipes it is possible to substitute
oil for butter, however the resulting taste and texture of the baked good will be different . In this case,
use ¼ less butter than the amount of oil indicated in the recipe . Before you start whipping butter
together with sugar, allow it to soften at room temperature .
