what am i researching to gain a better understanding of the brief?
what are raising agents?
a substance used in dough to make it raise
yeast
baking powder
baking soda
air/steam
what are the best raising agents used to make scones?
baking powder
Baking powder contains both an acid and an alkali that react with moisture and heat to create gas bubbles
bicarbonate of soda
bicarbonate of soda (an alkali) needs an additional acid in the recipe, such as buttermilk or cream of tartar, to activate and produce the same lifting effect
what are raising agents used for?
Raising agents are substances that create gas in baking mixtures, causing them to expand and become light and fluffy
used in baked goods
cakes
bread
pastries
how do raising agents work?
creating gas
Raising agents introduce gas into a dough or batter
expansion
When the mixture is heated, the gas bubbles expand, causing the dough to rise and grow in volume
lightening the texture
The expansion creates pockets of air within the baked good, resulting in a light, aerated, and fluffy texture
structure
The protein structure of the flour, particularly gluten, sets around these gas bubbles as the food bakes, locking them in place
best ingredients used to make scones
flour
butter
self-raising flour or all-purpose flour
baking powder
salt
sugar (caster or granulated)
liquid like milk or buttermilk
what is investigational work?
inspections
investigations
assesments
audits
sampling
monitoring
what will happen if i add to many raising agents?
adding to many raising agents can cause
raise to quickly
collapse
course crumbly texture
hollow or sunken Centre
soapy taste
larger and weaker air bubbles
