Doughnuts

On friday we made doughnuts. First thing we did was make the dough with yeast, flour, sugar, water. Then after we made it into a doughnut shape and we fried them in oil on an electric fry pan. Then we finished it off by dipping it in chocolate sauce with sprinkles this tasted very good. I enjoyed these doughnuts mainly because of the chocolate glaze and sprinkles. The yeast in the recipe made the donuts have a wierd taste.

Garden Herb Bread

This week we also made a yeast bread with flour, salt, yeast, sugar, water, rosemary, basil, oragano for flavour. I did not like this bread because I didnt like the taste of the herbs used in the recipe. What would have made this bread better would be if we used cheese in it.

Calzone

This week we started our yeast bread unit with calzones. This calzone was pretty good but the outsides were too crunchy like chips. We made the dough first with flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and water then we let it rest for a day. The next day we made the filling of tomato sauce with oragano and we also fried onions and mushrooms then added the tomato sauce. After we put a little bit of the sauce to each calzone then put it in the over to cook. This recipe was pretty easy to do. The filling for this was the reason it tasted good

Cream Puffs

A couple weeks ago in baking class we made cream puffs and it tasted pretty good. We first made the bun with flour, sugar, butter, and eggs and we made this dough over the stove then poured it on the cookie sheet and put it in the oven . While it was baking we made a chocolate cream filling with melted chocolate chips then put it in a piping bag. Once the buns were ready we cut a slit in the bottom of it and squeezed the chocolate in. This tasted really good mainly because of the chocolate cream

Apple Pie

We made an apple pie and it was very delicious. We first made a dough which was a simple quickbread recipe of flour, salt, butter, and water to put the ingredients together and form the dough. Then we rolled out this dough and put it in the pie plate. After we filled the pie with an apple filling that we cooked over the stove with fresh apples, lemon juice, cinnoman, and water. Then we cover the top with the left over dough. I really enjoyed this pie because the apple fill surprisingly tasted really good. It was one of the best things we made in this class

Peach Cobbler

A little while ago we made a peach cobbler which is basically some canned peaches with a dough topping. First we put the canned peaches in a casserole dish then we poured some lemon juice on top. While that was going on someone else in the group was preparing the dough that would go on top.The dough consisted of flour,baking powder, sugar,and water. Then its goes in the oven. This peach cobbler tasted very good because of the peaches the dough on top couldve been better if we put whip cream of something sweet on top.

Brownie comparison

In class we had a choice between two types of brownies. Our group decided to make the chocolate brownie with alot of sugar. Our groups brownie wasnt that good because it turned out hard. The one that was made with apple sauce turned out better because it had a better taste and it was softer.
