Tallyrand Food and Cooking Tips

Food tip on bread making definitions

Dispersing : to evenly distribute, scatter, break up the yeast through the liquid used. Similar to dissolve, but this term is often used in recipes that use fresh yeast, that is a living organism which cannot be dissolved. The liquid for this should be at 37 - 38°C
     
Kneading : to stretch and work a dough to develop the gluten strands, thus producing an elastic dough
     
Proving : to ferment a dough under controlled temperatures so that it doubles in size, through a fermentation process. The recommended temperature range for this is between 22 – 30°C
     
Fermentation : the action of yeast + liquid + sugar + warmth that produces carbon dioxide gas (CO2). This is the process that causes the bread to rise and also what causes the bubbles in champagne, fizzy soft drinks, beer etc
     
Knocking back : to punch a proved dough, this distributes the CO2 and yeast through the dough
     
Scaling : to cut a large amount of dough into its required measured amounts for making loaves etc
