  • Quick Breads
    FN-SSB.923 Quick Breads KNEADS A LITTLE DOUGH While baking yeast bread may be intimidating to some people, there are some “quick” options to get you started in the kitchen. Muffins, coffeecakes, scones, waffles, and pancakes are all breads that can be made in a short period of time and with very little effort. The difference between yeast breads and quick breads is the leavening agent. Yeast is a living cell that multiplies rapidly when given the proper food, moisture, and warmth. It must “proof”, or rise, to allow the production of carbon dioxide that allows the bread to rise during baking. Quick breads use the chemical leavening agents of baking powder and/or baking soda. Baking powder and baking soda do not require time for rising, so the batter for quick bread is cooked immediately after mixing. The best thing about quick breads is that the options are limitless when it comes to ingredients. The limiting factor in good quick breads is the correct mixing. Over mixing or under mixing will result in a poor quality product. BASIC INGREDIENTS Different quick bread batters are created by varying the ingredients and combining them in a certain way to form the structure of the bread. The possibilities are endless, but the common factor is the basic ingredients of fat, sugar, eggs, flour, liquid, leavening agent, and a flavoring ingredient. The flavoring might be a fruit or vegetable, a liquid such as buttermilk or fruit juice, an extract, herbs, or spices. Depending how the ingredients are mixed together will determine the texture and quality.

    Pancakes Around the World Grades 6-12 ELA, Science, Math, Social Studies, PE Objectives Students will read about Pancake Tuesday, conduct further research and write a short play about the event for Pre-K - 2nd grade students and organize a pancake race for those students. Students will learn about pancakes in other cultures and choose one pancake and culture for in-depth research. Students will perform hands-on activities to understand chemical reactions with leavening agents which produce carbon dioxide in baked foods. Students will extract yeast from common foods. Students will apply mathematical principles to increase and decrease a recipe to produce the number of servings needed. Vocabulary baking powder—a mixture of baking soda, cream of tartar and cornstarch that forms carbon dioxide (CO2) when mixed in dough or batter baking soda—the common name for sodium bicarbonate. When combined with acidic substances, forms CO2. carbon dioxide—a clear gas with no odor or taste that is a byproduct of respiration.

  • The Difference Between Baking Soda and Baking Powder 22 May 2014, by Matt Shipman, North Carolina State University
    The difference between baking soda and baking powder 22 May 2014, by Matt Shipman, North Carolina State University Baking powder addresses this problem because it is "double acting" – it has different ingredients that create CO2 gas at different stages of the baking process. All baking powders contain sodium bicarbonate (just like baking soda). But baking powder also contains two acids. One of these acids is called monocalcium phosphate. Monocalcium phosphate doesn't react with the sodium bicarbonate while it's dry. But as soon as the baking powder is stirred into a wet dough or batter, the two ingredients begin to react, releasing bubbles of CO2 and causing chemical leavening. This is what happens when baking soda and acid (in this case vinegar) interact. Credit: Kate Ter Haar, via But to extend the chemical leavening process, Wikimedia Commons. baking powder also contains a second acid, either sodium acid pyrophosphate or sodium aluminum sulfate. Neither of these acids react with sodium bicarbonate until they are both: A) wet (i.e., stirred What's the difference between baking soda and into the batter) and B) hot. baking powder? Short answer: acid. But it can make a big difference for baked goods, so let's In other words, sodium acid pyrophosphate and explain. sodium aluminum sulfate won't start reacting with the sodium bicarbonate until after you've put the Baking soda has only one ingredient: sodium dough or batter in the oven.

In 1796, the first American cookbookAmerican Cookery by Amelia Simmons was published in Hartford, Connecticut. Although many scholars referred to it as “the second declaration of American independence” the cooking patterns presented in Simmons’ book still resembled the old English tradi- tion. The purpose of this paper is to explore the British origins of the first American cookbook and to demonstrate that it is, in essence,UMCS a typical eighteenth-century English cookery book. Key Words: American Cookery, Amelia Simmons, cuisine, cookbook. American Cookery by Amelia Simmons was published in 1796, twenty years after the Declaration of Independence. In Feeding America – the Historic American Cookbook Project, scholars have argued that American Cookery deserves to be called “a second Declaration of American Independence,” as it was the first cookbook written by an American writer (Feeding America 2003). Most researchers point to certain features that make American Cookery an American cookbook. Karen Hess, one of the major food studies researchers poses a question: “what makes American Cookery so very American?” and answers that “it is precisely the bringing together of certain native American products and English culinary traditions” (Hess 1996, xv).

  • A Chemical Examination of Certain Baking Powders
    A CHEMICAL EXAMINATION OF CERTAIN BAKING POWDERS. MISS WINIFRED DALTON. OUTLINE. I. Introduction. II. General Discussion of Classes of Baking Powders. III. Discussion of Results Obtained by Others. IV. Qualitative Analysis of Five Powders. V. Quantitative Determinations of Carbon Dioxide in Five Powders. 1. Description of apparatus. 2. Manipulation of apparatus. 3. Results obtained. A Chemical Examination of Certain Baking Powders. The necessity of having bread preparations raised quickly for immediate baking led to the use of chemical agents for that purpose. In all of these agents the gas, which expands, is obtained by the decomposition of a carbonate which is introduced with an acid constituent to act upon it, directly in the flour. When water is added to the flour to make the dough, the chemicals are dissolved and the action takes place, carbon dioxide and water being formed, the carbob dioxide act- ingas the expansive gas. Many people suppose that nothing remains in the bread from that reaction, that it is all driven off during the baking. There is a residue left which varies with the different powders, and is more or less objection- able depending on the powder used. There are some combinations which leave a minimum amount of residue and of the least objectionable character, while others are the reverse. Most people do not know the thealthful character of some of these combinations used and do not realize the danger of using cheap baking -powders when used to any great extent. The essential constituents of a good baking -powder are first; a carbon- of ate or bicarbonate of 41kali metal and, second; an acid constituent capable combining with the alkali metal forming a salt, and liberating the carbon dioxide.

  • How to Make No Yeast Bread
    The History of Bread Bread has been called the staff of life. Every culture around the world has its bread, made from native flours, which have sustained its peoples for centuries. The earliest evidence of bread making has been found in paleolithic archaeological sites. Rituals regarding the eating and use of bread have been created as well around the world and are in use still today. Families "break bread" to give thanks, to welcome guests, and to begin a meal. People are served bread at the beginning of a meal even today for this reason. Instructions and Recipe by Sally McKenny This No Yeast Bread Is: Ready in 1 hour Made with 6 ingredients Convenient if you do not have or do not want to use yeast Dense, satisfying, and crusty Delicious toasted or warm with honey butter Made with buttermilk for extra flavor and richness Wonderful plain or with optional flavors These Ingredients Are Crucial This section is important to review if you are wondering about ingredient substitutions or why certain ingredients are used. 1. All-Purpose Flour: All-purpose flour is best for this loaf, though the same amount of bread flour may also be used without any changes to the recipe. 2. Salt: I use 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of fine sea salt for flavor but have also tested this recipe with the same amount of regular table salt. Both are excellent. 3. Baking Soda: This is a quick bread, so the bread rises without the use of yeast. Baking soda is our leavening agent. Do not use baking powder – you will need an excessive amount for this bread to rise and that much baking powder will leave a chemical aftertaste.
