Why is it important for a baker to know the protein content of different types of flour. Give an example of when this knowledge would be needed.?

The protein or gluten content of flour is an important factor in the choice of which to use when baking.

The lower the gluten the more the baked product will rise.

Cake flour has the lowest gluten content from 6-8 percent and it not a good choice for cookies because they will not keep their shape well.

For cookies pastry flour 8-10 percent or all purpose flour 10-12 percent are best for maintaining shape.

For making raised breads, bread flour is the best choice because it has the highest protein content 12-15 percent. The gluten provides support for the bread as it rises due to carbon dioxide production by the yeasts as they use up the sugars that are present in the bread.

Quick breads need all purpose or pastry flour to make a product that is not too dense and rises well due to the action of the conversion of the baking powder.

Why frozen butter in recipe?

Some pastry recipes, for example, shortcrust, or shortbread, might specify frozen butter or cubed and frozen butter in order to keep the pastry cool while working.

Cutting butter into cubes and freezing it until you've sifted your dry ingredients, and then rubbing it in either by hand or using hand-held beaters (not a processor), and using iced water where water is specified, makes sense in hot, humid climates.

You should also use a cold surface - marble is good - to work on. Before I start making pastry I also put the mixing bowl in the fridge so that it's cold when I begin work.

Avoid using plastic bowls, utensils or work surfaces to make pastry, especially in hot, humid conditions.

Draw a hierarchy of a large kitchen brigade?

* Executive Chef - This is the manager of the kitchen responsible for supervision, creation of the menu, and the business side of the kitchen. An executive chef obviously is very experienced in cooking, but their day to day work may involve very little hands-on cooking. * Chef de Cuisine - This is the hands-on individual in charge of everything going on in the kitchen. Sometimes a chef de cuisine may be the individual in charge of one location of a chain, or related set, of restaurants. Also, the titles executive chef and chef de cuisine may sometimes be used interchangeably. * Sous Chef - The sous chef is second in line in the kitchen. Also, a sous chef may be in charge of the kitchen when the executive chef or chef de cuisine is absent. Conversely, the sous chef may take over for any of the line cooks that may be missing. * Expediter or Announcer - This is the individual who serves as liaison between the dining room and the kitchen. The expediter announces orders as well as checking dishes before they are taken into the dining room. Gordon Ramsay frequently serves in this role on Hell's Kitchen. * Chef de Partie or Line Cook - Each of these chefs or cooks are in charge of a particular portion of the kitchen's service. Among the line cooks in the traditional French brigade system: ** Saute Chef - Responsible for all sauces and sauteed items. This is traditionally the top position among chefs de partie. ** Fish Chef - All of the fish dishes and the butchering and fabrication of the fish as well. ** Roast Chef - The responsibility for all roasted and braised meats. ** Grill Chef - This role may be combined with the roast chef and is responsible for all grilled foods. ** Fry Chef - As the title implies, this position is responsible for all fried items. ** Vegetable Chef - This chef is usually responsible for all the vegetables, soups, pastas, and starches. This is one of the roles most likely to have other cooks underneath the head chef. ** Roundsman - A chef who may work in any area and fill in wherever needed. ** Cold-Foods Chef - This position is sometimes referred to as pantry chef and is in charge of cold salads, appetizers, pates, etc. ** Butcher - Responsible for butchering and fabricating meat and poultry, but often leaves fish to the fish chef. ** Pastry Chef - Holds the responsibility for baked goods, pastries, and sweets. This is another position that may have several other cooks underneath the head chef.
