    A Baker’s Dozen: Tips Just in Time for the Holidays 1. MASTER YOUR FLOUR TECHNIQUE. For the most accurate flour measurement, spoon it lightly into a dry measuring cup, then level it off with a spatula or straight-edged knife. Loosely adding the flour will prevent packing too much into the measuring cup so you don’t end up with dry crumbly cookie dough. 2. KEEP YOUR BROWN SUGAR SOFT. To keep brown sugar soft after your first use, store it with a slice of bread, a few marshmallows, a slice of an apple or a damp paper towel to keep the sugar soft. 3. EGGS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. Be sure to let the eggs for your recipe sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before starting so they are ready for mixing. Cold eggs added to some recipes can harden the fat and cause the batter to curdle. 4. ADD EGGS ONE AT A TIME. After creaming butter and sugar, eggs should be added one at a time. Thoroughly beating before the next egg is added, this helps the mixture retain more trapped air bubbles that contribute to leavening. 5. SEPARATE COLD EGGS, WHIP ROOM TEMPERATURE EGGS. Eggs are easiest to separate when cold, but whites reach their fullest volume when whipped at room temperature. Room temperature egg whites absorb more air than cold ones. 6. MIX YOUR MERINGUE. Sugar serves to increase the stability of the foam. It must be added slowly so it doesn’t decrease the volume. When beating your meringue, it is important to check to make sure your sugar has dissolved into the egg whites.

    FEBRUARY Chocolate Cream Cheese Pound Cake Our February lesson of the Better Baking Academy with Bob’s Red Mill tackles a humble hero of the baker’s repertoire: the pound cake. Named for its simple original recipe formula of 1 pound each of eggs, sugar, butter, and flour, the pound cake has had a number of delicious updates over the years, with bakers introducing tender cream cheese into the batter and incorporating rich flavors like coconut and bourbon. Our Chocolate Cream Cheese Pound Cake is a perfect blend of classic excellence and sweet modern improvement. From its crispy, sugared exterior to its soft and tender interior, this cake’s ideal texture comes from Bob’s Red Mill Organic All-Purpose Flour matched with the velvety benefits of cream cheese. We take you through every step of this cocoa decadence, from creaming the butter and sugar to making the silky ganache finish. Prepare yourself for the ultimate chocolate experience. INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN Great recipes require great ingredients. Here’s how each ingredient creates the ultimate chocolate pound cake. BOB’S RED MILL ORGANIC ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR: For the fine crumb of this pound cake, a special flour that toes the line between soft and hard is needed. This versatile all-purpose wheat flour has a protein content of 10% to 12%, so our cake is tender but has enough gluten structure to form a fudgy crumb that borders on decadently dense. CREAM CHEESE: Dairy is always an essential ingredient to improve flavor and texture in a pound cake, but cream cheese imparts that special boost of rich milk fat.

  • Relationship of Physical Properties of Fats and Oils with Quality Characteristics of Cookie
    ISSN(Online): 2319-8753 ISSN (Print): 2347-6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (A High Impact Factor & UGC Approved Journal) Website: www.ijirset.com Vol. 6, Issue 8, August 2017 Relationship of Physical Properties of Fats and Oils with Quality Characteristics of Cookie Amita Devi1, B. S. Khatkar2 Ph.D. Scholar, Department of Food Technology, GJUS&T, Hisar, Haryana, India1 Professor, Department of Food Technology, GJUS&T, Hisar, Haryana, India2 ABSTRACT: Six different fats and oils were analyzed for physical characteristics. All the six fats and oils differed widely in their physicochemical characteristics. The results showed that fats and oils physical properties had appreciable effects on the spread ratio and breaking strength. Slip melting point (r= -0.990**), creaming power (r= - 0.901**), yield value (r= -0.760**), viscosity (r= -0.729**), and hardness (r= -0.628*) contributed significantly negatively to cookie spread ratio. These are the factors responsible for superior cookie spread ratio produced by sunflower oil and groundnut oil. Statistical analysis showed that breaking strength was strongly positively and negatively correlated to refractive index (r= 0.766**), and slip melting point, creaming power (r= -0. 954**, r= - 0.870**, respectively). Fats and oils with lower slip melting point and creaming power were not desirable for cookies as they resulted in a stiffer cookie. KEYWORDS: Fats and oils, Cookie quality, Spread ratio, Breaking strength. I. INTRODUCTION Fats and oils are widely used food components. They are the essential ingredients in baked products and influence their microstructure and physical properties. Fats and oils in baking contribute to product characteristics such as tenderness, moisture, mouthfeel, lubricity, flavor, structure, and shelf life.

To create a successful product, food technologists need to apply their knowledge of the properties of food used as ingredients in a product. The qualities a food possesses depend on the physical and chemical nature of the product. These qualities are called properties. What happens to food during processing depends on these properties. To make successful products, food technologists use these properties and they are described as functional properties.

They are available in wide varieties and their preferences may vary according to the regional demands. Easy access of global information and exposure of various bakery products has increased the demand for bakery ingredients. Baking ingredients offer several advantages such as reduced costs, volume enhancement, better texture, colour, and flavour enhancement. For example, ingredients such enzymes improve protein solubility and reduce bitterness in end products, making enzymes one of the most preferred ingredients in the baking industry. Every ingredient in a recipe has a specific purpose. It's also important to know how to mix or combine the ingredients properly, which is why baking is sometimes referred to as a science. There are reactions in baking that are critical to a recipe turning out correctly. Even some small amount of variation can dramatically change the result. Whether its breads or cake, each ingredient plays a part.

  • The Ultimate A-Z Baking Terms
    1THE ULTIMATE A-Z BAKING TERMS Know the difference between creaming, folding, and beating? How about dough and batter? Reading recipes can be especially difficult, to help you along, we’ve compiled a comprehensive A-Z list of common baking terminologies that’ll make baking a breeze. Kindly refresh your mind with these terminologies during this break. Contact your pastry instructor for clarification in case you don’t understand. TCSU stands with you during these trying times, always adhere to the simple precaution to prevent the virus from reaching you, stay safe. We love you. Aerate To incorporate air into something, usually a batter. Also known as a hot water bath, it is usually used to melt chocolate and butter gently Bain-marie and gradually over a pot of simmering water. Baking the crust of a pie/tart without the filling. It can be done with a variety of Bake blind methods. One would be to prick the bottom of the crust before filling it with pie weights, rice, pulses, or beans prior to baking. Batch Amount of bread, cookies, etc. made from one bake. A mixture of dry and liquid ingredients such as eggs, flour, and milk or water. Similar to Batter dough but it has a much thinner consistency and cannot be kneaded. Mixing a mixture rapidly and intensely to combine ingredients and incorporate air into Beat the mixture. Typically done with a whisk or mixer. Blend Mixing two substances together so that they become incorporated together. For gelatin: softening gelatin using a liquid before use. Typically done by sprinkling the gelatin onto the surface of a liquid and letting it sit for about 5 minutes.
