Baking is as much an art as it is a science. To create delicious treats that delight your customers, you need both inspiration and precision in humidty control. Every pastry, bread or cake represents not only a unique combination of flavours and textures, but also a series of scientific principles. Here we will look at some of the key scientific aspects of bread baking and how the Invoq Bake oven is designed to help you achieve consistency and perfection. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

The foundation: How does gluten development affect the texture of your bread and pastries?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Gluten is a protein that develops when flour meets water. It is what gives dough its structure and elasticity – it is what gives bread its airy crumb and chewy texture and pastry its flakiness. No gluten means no rise. The Invoq Bake oven allows you to control the exact temperature that your product is baked at, ensuring that the gluten in every bake develops to its full potential, every time.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rising to the occasion: Why is chemical leavening important for baked goods?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Have you ever wondered how a sponge cake manages to be so light and fluffy? Or why your muffins have such a wonderful airy crumb? The answer lies in chemical leavening agents \u2013 namely baking powder and\/or baking soda. These wonderful substances, when heated, undergo a chemical reaction and release carbon dioxide gas. This produces bubbles in your batter and as these bubbles fill with gas, they cause your cakes, cookies, muffins, and bread to rise and expand. The Invoq Bake oven ensures consistent heat distribution across the whole cavity, so you can be sure that your bakes will rise evenly throughout. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Browning beauty: How can caramelization and the Maillard reaction enhance your bake?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

The golden crust of a freshly baked loaf, the tantalizing aroma of cookies baking in the oven \u2014 both are made by the irresistible flavours of caramelization and the Maillard reaction. Caramelization is the browning of sugars, turning them golden and sweet when baked. The Maillard reaction produces a range of flavours and smells, from nutty to toasty, and is the complex interaction of amino acids and reducing sugar. The Invoq Bake oven makes it easy and satisfying to perfect caramelization and the Maillard reaction thanks to its precise heat control. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Harnessing humidity: How does humidity impact your baking results?<\/strong>  <\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Humidity is one of those factors in baking that\u2019s both very important and easily overlooked. The amount of moisture in the air can affect everything you bake, from the way your crusts form to the crumb structure of your breads.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Consider the difference between a crisp, crackling crust on a baguette baked in a humid environment versus one baked in a dry one. The added moisture means the dough will retain more water, allowing it to rise for a longer period and at a slower rate, resulting in a gorgeous, blistered crust. Are you baking in dry conditions, chances are you\u2019re going to get a hard, dense and less appealing exterior.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Humidity also plays a part in the hydration of your dough, which in turn affects the gluten structure and the consistency of your dough. On a broader scale, knowing about the effects of humidity will help bakers adjust recipes from other environments to their own. In general, the more humidity in the air, the less water you need to add to your dough to get the right consistency (and vice versa for drier conditions). <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
