FOOD 2 – BAKING

FOOD 2 – BAKING

Baking is the technique of prolonged cooking of food by heat acting by convection, and not by radiation, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones. It is primarily used for the preparation of bread, cakes, pastries and pies, tarts, quiches, cookies and crackers. Such items are sometimes referred to as "baked goods," and are sold at a bakery. A person who prepares baked goods as a profession is called a baker. It is also used for the preparation of baked potatoes , baked apples, baked beans, some casseroles and pasta dishes such as lasagna and various other foods, such as the pretzels.

Here are also idea on how to business using cake, here is the idea on how to prepare a special Bridal Cake during wedding or maybe, on your wedding day. With a little imagination and creativity the following cake could look like this. When a bride's cake is mentioned, one naturally thinks of a large, round cake entirely covered with thick, white icing. The cake here given is one of this kind, and in addition may be ornamented in any desired way. Besides being very attractive in appearance, this cake is delicious in taste.



“Bridal Cake Preparation”




Ingredients:
1. 1/2 cup butter
2. 3 teaspoons baking powder
3. 1 1/2 cups sugar
4. 6 eggs white
5. 1/2 cup milk
6. 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
7. 2 1/2 cups flour (cake flour if possible)
8. teaspoon vanilla

Procedures/Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Line bottom of pans with parchment paper circles, if desired. Grease and flour the parchment paper using typical cake baking guidelines
.
3. Cream the butter and sugar.

4. Stir in the milk.

5. Sift the flour and baking powder together and add to the creamed butter mixture.

6. Beat egg whites until foamy. Be sure to use clean beaters or the egg whites will not beat correctly.

7. Add cream of tartar and beat egg whites until stiff.

8. Add the vanilla.

9.Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until cake layers test done. Use a wooden toothpick or cake tester to check if it is done. The tester should come out clean.

10Frost with plain white frosting and decorate as desired.

11.Makes two 8-inch layers.

Tips:
1. No oven temperatures or pan sizes were given. The 8-inch round pans may not hold all the batter so use remaining batter to make cupcakes, if desired.

2. Fill cake pans about 1/2 to 2/3 full with batter.

3.Most white cakes bake at 350 degrees F which is the temperature suggested in this recipe.

I learned also how to baked Cookies and here is the following procedure for a delicious and nutritious cookies:

“How to make a Chocolates chips cookies”
Ingredients:
1. 2 1/4 - 2 1/3 cups flour

2. 1 tsp. salt

3. 1 tsp. baking soda

4. 1 Cup shortening or 1 Cup (2 sticks) butter

5. 1/2 - 3/4 Cup packed brown sugar (total sugar should equal 1.5 cups)

6. 3/4 - 1 Cup white sugar (total sugar should equal 1.5 cups)

7. 1 - 2 tsp. pure vanilla

8. 2 eggs

9. 1 1/2 - 3 Cups chocolate chips

10. 1 Cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Materials:
One medium bowl

One large bowl

Mixing spoon

Measuring cups and spoons

Cookie sheet

Spatula
Wax paper foil or cooling rack

Steps:
1.Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
2.In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Gently mix these together and then set this bowl aside
3.In a large bowl, beat together shortening/butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and pure vanilla. When those are completely mixed together, add eggs and mix again until completely combined.
4.Slowly add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients in the large bowl, mixing until the dry ingredients are totally combined. At this point you should have a moderately thick cookie dough.
5.Add chocolate chips, and if you want you can also add chopped walnuts. Mix together.


6. Scoop up a golf ball size amount of dough with a spoon and drop in onto a cookie sheet. Leave at least an inch of space between the cookies because they'll spread out when they cook. You can usually fit 12 cookies on a cookie sheet at a time.
7.Put the cookies in the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes. You'll want to check them after 8 minutes, but if they look doughy, you'll want to cook them for another couple of minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies sit on the pan for 3-5 minutes.
8.Using a spatula, lift cookies off onto wax paper or tin foil. Let cool for about 5 more minutes.
9.Eat and Enjoy!
