Application

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to apply baking techniques to develop baked products in a commercial baking environment.

This unit applies to individuals who apply a broad range of specialised knowledge and skills with responsibility for their own work. This includes applying and communicating non-routine technical solutions to predictable and unpredictable problems.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with State/Territory food safety, and work health and safety, regulations and legislation that apply to the workplace.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Performance Evidence

An individual demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria of this unit.

There must be evidence that the individual has developed one of the following baked products, using a minimum of eight ingredients and applying a pre- or post-baked finish component:

  • a specialty bread
  • a cake based product
  • a pastry-based product.

The activities to develop the baked product must include:

  • researching product and process development opportunities
  • meeting one of the following six purposes:
  • identified market opportunity
  • cost saving for current product
  • healthy eating improvement for current product
  • time and labour improvement for current product
  • product quality improvement for current product
  • a special dietary, cultural or religious need
  • preparing trial recipes
  • conducting at least one production trial
  • evaluating the final product to verify the following seven technical qualities of the product:
  • flavour style
  • moisture
  • structure
  • taste
  • symmetry
  • appearance
  • aroma
  • assessing the potential commercial viability of the product, including the following four considerations:
  • cost price versus final sales price
  • local market suitability
  • suitability of packaging and transport
  • compliance with food safety code regulatory requirements for the product and its ingredients.

The individual must prepare a final report that includes the following information:

  • product development purpose and concept
  • description of the special dietary, cultural or religious need
