Baking Principles and

Ingredient Functions

 

Through lectures, demonstrations and full participation labs, students become proficient at yeast-raised dough mixing methods, such as straight dough and sponge.  Students also learn to use leavening principles as well as a variety of finishing techniques.  The difference between hand mixing and machine mixing is emphasized in this course.  The dual emphasis of this course is: 1) thoroughly understand the functions of ingredients and technique and how these relate to producing a fine yeast product, and 2) implementing these principles and techniques in production.

General Kitchen Procedures

 

1.          Students are not allowed in lab without an instructor present.

2.          Store food in hotel pan, bain marie pan and plastic containers, either with lids or wrapped well in plastic and labeled, (product and date).  Do not store food in original containers or in aluminum.

3.          Always check to see if there is any of the product already opened before opening another.

4.          Open boxes of shortening, nuts, etc., by cutting three sides of the box, making a lid.  Scrape down pails of fondant, shortening and icings to prevent the product from drying out.

5.          Leave bins full; clean them; lids are on at the end of class.

6.          Empty dishwasher; turn off and drain machine; clean out strainer; remove plate and clean out underneath.

7.          Return items borrowed from another kitchen.  This practice should be kept to an absolute minimum.

8.          Place all dirty towels in the soiled laundry bus pan.

9.          Save empty plastic containers or their lids.  These can be re-used to store food products.

10.      All utensils have a place where they should be stored.  Return them to their proper place.  If in doubt, ask your instructor.  (a) metal with metal, (b) plastic with wood
