Pseudo Code for Baking Bread Algorithm

Overview

This document outlines a straightforward algorithm to bake bread. The process is broken down into specific steps, including ingredient preparation, mixing, kneading, rising, baking, and cooling.

Ingredients and Tools

• Flour
• Water
• Yeast
• Salt
• Mixing bowl
• Oven
• Baking tray
• Cooling rack

Pseudo Code Steps

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

1. Define ingredients
   • flour = 500 grams
   • water = 300 mL
   • yeast = 10 grams
   • salt = 10 grams

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

2. Combine and mix dry ingredients
   • Create an empty mixing bowl
   • Add flour to the mixing bowl
   • Add salt to the mixing bowl
   • Add yeast to the mixing bowl
3. Add water to the dry ingredients
   • Pour water into the mixing bowl
4. Mix until a dough forms
   • Use hands or a spoon to combine

Step 3: Knead the Dough

5. Knead the dough
   • While dough is sticky, knead on a flour-dusted surface
   • Continue kneading for approximately 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic

Step 4: Let the Dough Rise

6. Allow the dough to rise
   • Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl
   • Cover bowl with a clean towel
   • Let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size

Step 5: Shape the Bread

7. Shape the dough
   • Punch down the risen dough to release air
   • Transfer dough to a floured surface
   • Shape the dough into the desired loaf form

Step 6: Second Rise

8. Allow dough to undergo a second rise
   • Place shaped dough on a baking tray
   • Cover with a towel
   • Let rise for an additional 30 minutes

Step 7: Preheat the Oven

9. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (425 degrees Fahrenheit)

Step 8: Bake the Bread

10. Bake the bread
    • Place the baking tray in the preheated oven
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown

Step 9: Cool the Bread

11. Remove bread from oven
    • Transfer baked bread to a cooling rack
12. Allow bread to cool completely before slicing and serving

Summary

This pseudo code represents a clear and structured approach for baking bread, detailing each step from preparation to cooling. By breaking it down into manageable components, the algorithm is easily understandable and can serve as a foundation for developing a more comprehensive baking application or guide.
