Baking Class Curriculum

Feb 07, 2006 | From the kitchen of Rose

ANUSKA QUESTION

Feedback: I am going to be teaching an introduction to Baking night class at a local high school. What are somethings that I should add to this as this is my first time at taking a class and I really want to make it memorable.

ROSE REPLY

Two of the most important things are the proper measuring and weighing of dry and liquid ingredients, and a discussion of the variety and quality of the key ingredients used in baking such as flour, leavening, sugar, butter, and chocolate. Best of luck.

i think it would really benefit you to get my book "rose's christmas cookies"jessica's biscuit has an 800 #. then you'll have a choice of all my fav cookies and will surely find ones you like.

thanks i no cakes rise. is there any other tricks i should no about

REPLY

not all cookies are intended to rise. i don't know what cookie you were making but if you want a more cakey cookie use a recipe with egg in it or more liquid. by the way, cakes do rise.

I used to be really good at baking but all of a sudden my cakes started not to rise. i have been using professionals recipies. Please help

roll the rectangle as large as possible so that you can spread the raisins as evenly as possible. i then knead them in lightly and any ones that rise to the top i pick off as indeed a burnt raisin is unpleasantly bitter.

I have been having difficulty in making raisin bread with the dispersion of raisins in the finished bread. They are usually clumped together. I've tried spreading over the rectangle and also kneading them in. (Kneading in results in overly brown to burnt raisins.) Any advice on what to try next?
