Dough-based products on the exam

Task M-36 covers sweet and savoury doughs: breads and rolls, pizza, pasta and noodles, pie and tart doughs, cookies, crackers, samosas and egg rolls. It carries about 2 of the 150 questions on the Red Seal Cook exam.

The standard breaks the task into four steps: select the ingredients, process them (measure, mix, knead, rest, proof, shape), cook the product (bake, boil, fry, steam or poach), and finish it (cool, glaze, portion, package and store).

Most questions describe a problem, such as a tough pie crust or a loaf that collapsed, and ask for the cause or the fix. If you know what each ingredient and each step does, you can reason your way to the answer.

Key pointFilling, assembling and baking finished pies is covered in task M-40, batters such as cakes and muffins are in task M-37, and pasta and noodle dishes are covered in more depth in task G-19.
