Cookies doughs that are stiff generally are higher in fat than soft doughs.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Stiff cookie doughs typically have a higher fat content compared to soft doughs. This is because fat contributes to the stiffness of the dough. When fat is added to the dough, it coats the flour particles and inhibits gluten formation, resulting in a stiffer texture. On the other hand, soft doughs have less fat and allow for more gluten development, leading to a softer texture. Therefore, it can be concluded that the statement is true.

Rate this question:
10.

Cookies should be baked at approximately 375 on the middle-top rack of the oven to facilitate browning and reduce spread.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Baking cookies at approximately 375 degrees on the middle-top rack of the oven helps to achieve the desired browning and also reduces the spread of the cookies. This temperature allows the cookies to cook evenly and develop a golden color on the outside, while remaining soft and chewy on the inside. Placing the cookies on the middle-top rack ensures that they are exposed to consistent heat distribution, resulting in uniform baking. Therefore, the statement is true.

Rate this question:
11.

Cake flour should not be used for cookies bc it increases their spread
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Cake flour should not be used for cookies because it increases their spread. This is because cake flour has a lower protein content compared to all-purpose flour, which results in less gluten formation. Gluten is responsible for providing structure and stability to baked goods. With less gluten, the cookies will spread more during baking, resulting in thinner and flatter cookies. Therefore, it is recommended to use all-purpose flour or a combination of all-purpose and cake flour for cookies to achieve the desired texture and thickness.

Rate this question:
12.

When making yeast bread, the yeast is first hydrated in water heated to 85-90.
- True
- False

16.

Pound cake is an example of an unshortened cake.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Pound cake is actually an example of a shortened cake, not an unshortened cake. Pound cake gets its name from the traditional recipe that calls for a pound each of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. This high ratio of fat to flour gives pound cake its dense and moist texture. Unshortened cakes, on the other hand, do not contain fat and rely on the air trapped in beaten egg whites for structure. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Rate this question:
17.

Quick breads rely on steam and co2 produced from yeast for leavening.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

43.

43. Which of the following baked products require the batter/dough to be homogenous
- Popovers
- B. shortened cakes
- Muffins
- D. a and b are correct
- E. all of the above
Correct Answer

A. D. a and b are correct

Explanation

Popovers and shortened cakes require the batter/dough to be homogenous. This means that the ingredients in the batter/dough should be thoroughly mixed together to create a uniform consistency. In the case of popovers, a homogenous batter is important to achieve the desired airy and puffy texture. Shortened cakes, such as pound cakes, also require a homogenous batter to ensure even distribution of fat and other ingredients, resulting in a tender and moist cake. Muffins, on the other hand, do not necessarily require a homogenous batter as they are typically made using the muffin method, where the dry and wet ingredients are mixed together just until combined.
