This set of Bakery Products Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Bread Manufacture”.
1. Which of the following is NOT a step involved in bread making process?
a) Mixing
b) Baking
c) Dough make-up
d) Milling
View Answer
Explanation: Milling is the process of converting wheat grains into flour. Baking is the process of converting dough into baked form through input of energy. Mixing is done to uniformly incorporate all the ingredients together. Dough make up process is done to get dough pieces with uniform shape and size.
2. Which of the following is the stage during the mixing phase where the dough used for bread processing starts to liquefy?
a) Pick up stage
b) Breakdown stage
c) Letdown stage
d) Clean up stage
View Answer
Explanation: The dough starts to liquefy in breakdown stage. Pickup stage is a hydration stage where the dough remains wet and sticky. In clean up stage, the dough forms a mass and gluten development begins whereas in letdown stage, the dough becomes extensively soft and elastic.
3. Which of the following is NOT a stage involved in mixing process of bread making?
a) Pick up stage
b) Clean up stage
c) Intermediate proofing stage
d) Initial hydration stage
View Answer
Explanation: Intermediate proofing stage is a step involved in dough make up process where the molded dough pieces are allowed to rest for 5-20 min whereas pick up stage, clean up stage and initial hydration stage are the stages involved in mixing process. In pickup stage, the dough remains wet and sticky whereas in clean up stage, the dough forms a mass and gluten development begins. Initial hydration stage provides hydration to all the ingredients during dough processing.
4. Mixing is done during bread making process to uniformly incorporate all the ingredients together.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Mixing is done to uniformly incorporate all the ingredients together. It is the first step in dough preparation. Mixing helps in incorporating all ingredients, hydrating the flour and gluten development.
5. Which of the following is NOT a step involved in dough make-up process of bread making?
a) Dividing
b) Rounding
c) Moulding
d) Baking
View Answer
Explanation: Baking is not a step involved in dough make-up. Dividing is the process of dividing the dough into pieces of specified weight. Rounding is the process of imparting smooth surface to the dough pieces to prevent diffusion of gases from edges. Moulding is the process of converting the dough pieces into cylindrical shapes before transferring them into baking pans.
6. Which strain of yeast cause fermentation in bread?
a) Saccharomyces cerevisiae
b) Micrococci
c) Lactobacillus bulgaricus
d) Streptococcus thermophillus
View Answer
Explanation: Fermentation in bread is caused by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is commonly known as baker’s yeast. In the process, carbohydrate is broken down into carbon dioxide and ethanol. This process plays an important role in development of crumb structure and volume of final bread.
7. Scaling is the process of uniformly incorporating all the ingredients together during dough preparation.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Scaling is the process of weighing all the ingredients before mixing the ingredients. Some ingredients are added in suspension form while others are added in dry from. The sequence of addition also affect the dough characteristics. Mixing is the process of uniformly incorporating all the ingredients together during dough preparation.
8. Proofing is the process of resting the dough after dough make-up for the fermentation to proceed before baking the bread.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Proofing is the process of resting the dough after dough make-up for the fermentation to proceed before baking the bread. During the proofing process, the volume of the dough pieces increases. The proofing time varies depending on the type of product.
