Introduction
The term baking applies to the production of food products that are processed by a dry heat applied directly by radiation and/or convection in an oven or similar heating device. Of particular interest to the baking industry are those products that contain some type of flour milled from grain. Chief among these products is bread, which in one form or another has been a staple of Western man since prehistoric times.
Man's first use of cereals was probably in the form of wild grain seeds eaten in their raw state. Eventually, these seeds were made more palatable by parching or roasting to loosen the hulls from the kernels. Next, man added water to produce a porridge or gruel. This mixture ultimately evolved into the earliest baked foods when it was poured onto hot rocks to produce flat breads. Then, man discovered that crushing the grains between stones -- and later, that grinding them in a mortar -- yielded a better, more digestible product.
The first written record of the actual existence of a baked grain product is a Sumerian clay tablet dating back to about 2,600 B.C. Baking as a specialized craft was a reality by the year 2000 B.C. The discovery of leavened bread is generally attributed to the ancient Egyptians. It probably resulted from a lucky accident: the growth of wild yeasts in left-over porridge. But, it was not until a millennia later (actually in the nineteenth century) that cultured yeast and baking powder came into being. During this long interval, various kinds of starters and barms were used to leaven bread. Baked foods were also made light by incorporating air into batters with the use of eggs and by beating or whipping.
With the emergence of public bakeries, by the second century during the Roman era, baking was organized into an established trade with official rules and regulations prescribed by government authorities. For many centuries thereafter, retail baking predominated, with little or no changes in either the baking process or equipment. However, the second half of the nineteenth century witnessed an upsurge of innovations, marked by great mechanical advances in both baking and milling equipment that eventually resulted in the evolution of wholesale bakeries.
Bakery foods exhibit a wide range of differences that result from variations in ingredients and baking methods. Major differences exist between yeast-leavened and chemically-leavened products, and between the types of leavening used. When doughs are fermented, they undergo profound chemical and physical changes that impart to the baked products their distinctive character. From a technical standpoint, the fermentation that takes place during the mixing and baking process is highly complex. Understanding them fully is of primary importance today as baking no longer relies on the trial-anderror process, but has evolved into a controlled application of food engineering principles. The old-time bakeshop, in which guesswork and traditional trade secrets predominated, has given way to the modern plant where science is applied to baking.
Modification to Globish of this one page would take over one hour. Here for demonstration, I break down the process so you can see it more easily. Steps were:
Step 1:
- Find words that are not Globish (make them red),
- Replace/Define Words (make new words blue).
Step 2:
- Cut out red words.
Step 3:
- Make sentences clear.
Step 1, Word and term replacement
Find the words that are not Globish core using a Globish scanner (http://www.globish.com/?page=globish_scanner) and show them red. Write Globish substitution words next to the red words in blue. Color Technical words purple and write definitions in Globish for all Technical words. (Please note we use color-coding but it can be done other ways.)
Introduction Beginning
The term baking applies to the production cooking of food products that are processed by a dryheat applied directly by radiation and/or convection in an oven or similar heating device.Of particular special interest to the baking industry are those products that contain some type of flour milled from grain. Chief among these products is bread, which in one form oranother has been a staple main food of Western man since prehistoric the oldest times.
Man's first use of cereals was probably possibly in the form of wild grain seeds eaten in their raw state. Eventually, these seeds were made more palatable good for eating by parching or roasting to loosen the hulls from the kernels. Next, man added water to produce a porridge or gruel. This mixture ultimately evolved developed over time into the earliest baked foods when it was poured onto hot rocks to produce flat breads. Then, man discovered that crushing the grains between stones -- and later, that grinding them in a mortar--yielded a better, more digestible product that the stomach could process.
The first written record of the actual real existence of a baked grain product is on a Sumerian flat stone dating back to about 2,600 B.C. Baking as a specialized craft job was a reality by the year 2000 B.C. The discovery of leavened bread is generally attributed credited to the ancient early Egyptians. It probably possibly resulted from a lucky accident mistake: the growth of wild yeasts in left-over porridge. But, it was not until a millennia over 1000 years later (actually in the nineteenth 1800s century) that cultured yeast and baking powder came into being. During this long interval space of time, various kinds of starters and barms were used to leaven bread. Baked foods were also made light by incorporating mixing air into batters coatings with the use of eggs and by beating or whipping moving it in quick circles.
With the emergence arrival of public bakeries, by the second century during the Roman era times, baking was organized into an established trade with official rules and regulations prescribed made by government authorities. For many centuries thereafter after that, retail baking predominated, baking was done mostly in stores, with little or no changes in either the baking process or equipment. However, in the second half nineteenth century of the 1800s witnessed there was an upsurge of innovations, new ideas, marked by great mechanical equipment advances changes in both baking and milling equipment that eventually resulted in the evolution development of "wholesale" bakeries which sold to many stores.
Bakery foods exhibit show a wide range of differences that result from variations in ingredients and baking methods. Major differences exist between yeast-leavened and chemically-leavened products, and between the types of leavening used. When doughs are fermented, they undergo profound experience great chemical and physical changes that impart give to the baked products their distinctive special character. From a technical standpoint view, the fermentation that takes place during the mixing and baking process is highly complex very difficult. Understanding them fully is of primary first importance today as baking no longer relies depends on the trial-and error experimental processes, but has evolved developed into a controlled application of official rules for food preparation and cooking. The old-time bakeshop, in which used mostly guesswork and traditional trade secrets predominated, has given way to the modern plant where science is applied to baking.

- Grain - a food source from a plant, like corn or wheat
- Cereals - grains left in water to make them bigger, then dried.
- Parching - using warm air to dry out food
- Roasting - Cooking slowly with even heat
- Hulls - the outside of a grain like corn or wheat
- Kernels - the inside seed in a grain like corn or wheat
- Porridge - a thick meal of cooked cereal
- Gruel - a thick liquid food
- Grinding - breaking down grain into small pieces
- Mortar - a tool for grinding
- Leavened - made lighter by mixing air into it
- Yeasts - plant chemicals that ferment bread for rising
- Barms - leavening agent for raising bread.
- Ingredients - things you put in food before cooking it
- Doughs - flour and water mixed to be firm enough to roll before baking
- Fermented - a process which "excites" a basic food, like fermented wheat can make beer
