Intro to Baking
This portfolio project showcases what I have learned through basic fundamental concepts, skills and techniques of baking. In which this course has allowed me to gain an introduction to standard industry experience and demonstrate proper preparation by producing a variety of baked goods.
Chocolate Chunk Cookies
The soft and chewiness of drop cookies are determined by using the creaming method which is essentially mixing the fat and sugar together until light and fluffy. Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans also add the perfect crunch and balances out the sweetness.
Fudge Brownie
Fudge brownies are sheet cookies that are fudgy, dense and packed with an intense chocolate flavour. They are mainly leavened by using eggs and air incorporation during the mixing process.
Italian Rosemary Rolls
These simple but flavourful rolls are made by using the straight dough method and include other ingredients such as olives and dried rosemary.
Apple Pie
A mealy dough is used for the pie shell and the fruit filling consists of sliced apples, lemon juice, spices and sugar thickened with a starch.
