WHAT IS BAKING?
❖ It is a method of preparing food that uses dry
heat, normally in an oven, but can also be
done in hot ashes, or on hot stones.
❖ is the process of cooking food by indirect
heat or dry heat in a confined space usually
in an oven using gas, electricity, charcoal,
wood at a temperature from 250˚F to 400˚F. It
is considered the best method of cooking to
retain the nutrition value of food
❖ The most common baked item is bread but many
other types of foods are baked.
❖ Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of
cakes, cookies, and breads to their center. As heat
travels through, it transforms batters and doughs
into baked goods and more with a firm dry crust
and a softer centre".
❖ can be combined with grilling to produce a
hybrid barbecue variant by using both methods
simultaneously, or one after the other. Baking is
related to barbecuing because the concept of
the masonry oven is similar to that of a smoke pit.

STONE AGE: The first evidence of baking occurred
when humans took wild grass grains, soaked them in
water, and mixed everything together, mashing it
into a kind of broth-like paste.
The paste was cooked by pouring it onto a flat, hot
rock, resulting in a bread-like substance. Later,
when humans mastered fire, the paste was roasted
on hot embers, which made bread-making easier,
as it could now be made any time fire was created.
Theworld's oldest oven was discovered in Croatia in
2014 dating back 6500 years ago.
❖The Ancient Egyptians baked bread using
yeast, which they had previously been
using to brew beer. Royal Egyptian
household discovered accidentally that
the dough when set aside flowed and
expanded. Since then bread was baked
in this manner in 17th century
❖The Romans baked
bread in an oven with
its own chimney, and
had mills to grind grain
into flour.
❖ A bakers' guild was
established in 168 B.C.
in Rome.
Beginning in the 19th century, alternative leavening agents
became more common, such as baking soda.
Bakers often baked goods at home and then sold them in
the streets. This scene was so common that Rembrandt,
among others, painted a pastry chef selling pancakes in the
streets of Germany, with children clamoring for a sample.
In London, pastry chefs sold their goods from handcarts. This
developed into a delivery system of baked goods to
households and greatly increased demand as a result. In
Paris, the first open-air café of baked goods was developed,
and baking became an established art throughout the entire
world
THE HISTORY OF BAKING IN THE PHILIPPINES
❖The use of enclosed ovens, to produce
bread and pastry, was probably
introduced by European explorers and
colonizers.
❖Pies, and cakes, were prevalent in
Europe during the 17th century, and as
the continent spread its reach across
the seas, they brought the art of baking
along with it
❖As early as 618 AD,
China was already
making “moon cakes”
and the early settlers
and traders who landed
on Philippine shores, also
inevitably shared this
unique process of using
dry heat to make bread MOON CAKES
and other desserts.
Wheat was brought into the
WHEAT GRASS
country by the Spanish
missionaries in the 17th
century to make Eucharistic
bread.
They introduced baking to the
country. Wheat was often
used in food, by missionaries,
who introduced the diet, as
well as the preparation and
process to the locals.
❖ Our Malay ancestors
introduced sticky rice cakes
and layer cakes. One can
argue that the Malay’s
knowledge of baking was still
derived from their Dutch
colonizers, but the ingenuity in
the use of local ingredients such
as rice, corn and coconut, as
well as making do with clay
pots and wooden steamers,
created something totally
original.
❖ The importance of baked goods in Philippine tradition is undeniable. With so many foreign
influences that made their mark in how baking developed in the Philippines, there is no
definitive answer really, to how it all began. What we do know, is the importance of this
wonderfully delicious art, and how it has since been vital in every Filipino’s life.
