Culinary-in-a-Can

How do you teach about important people in culinary history?

I chose to have my students become the experts.

Culinary-in-a-Can is a time capsule project.


Culinary-in-a Can
(Time-Capsule Project)

Directions: You will be creating a time capsule (some type of can with a lid) to teach about an important CHEF in culinary history. The time capsule must be decorated and have the picture and the name of the chef you are researching. You will be the expert on this chef. To do this you will need to research specific information. Your research answers must be numbered and placed on index cards. (These will be placed in your can) Also, inside your time capsule there must be an artifact that reminds you of this chef.(Place a sticky note with your article/ on it tell me how it reminds you of this chef) You will be presenting your findings to the class over a two day period.

Who is the CHEF you are researching? ___________________________________
Birth and Death Date._______________________________
 How did they get into the Culinary Industry? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Were there any world events that influenced their cooking? If so; how? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Did they have an influence on the Culinary Industry? Why or  why not? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Personally, why do you think that your Chef will be remembered for years to come? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yeast Bread Mixing Methods

Yeast Bread Mixing Methods Straight Dough Method is a one step mixing method in which all the dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, salt and yeast are mixed, and then wet ingredients such water and eggs are added. All the ingredients are then mixed straight to dough. It is the easiest of all yeast bread mixing methods. Sponge and dough is a two-step bread mixing process. The first step in this method is making the sponge which consists of a certain amount of flour, yeast and water. This mixture is allowed to ferment. The second step is adding the sponge to the rest of the ingredients to form the final dough. Old Dough Leavening aka Mother Dough or Preferments is exactly what it sounds like, a piece dough from a previous batch of dough is held back and used to help leaven the new loaf. This type of leavening with give more complex flavors because the old dough has been developing stronger fermenting flavors. Sourdough (Preferment) is a “natural leavener” it is made

Kneading!!!

Kneading Techniques “Working the Dough” Kneading is one of the most known terms in baking, but do you really understand its importance.  Could you recognize if you have a well kneaded product? Do you know the different kneading techniques? Do you know how to test if you have kneaded well enough? When I set out to create my lesson plans over baking, I could answer a few of those questions listed above. I had an idea about what I was looking for, but I did not know half of the information that I kneaded to know. So as I researched, I found information that I think all teachers, students, and aspiring bakers need to know.  Why Knead Kneading develops a gluten network (net) As flour is hydrated gluten strengthens and adds to the structure of the dough. Gluten helps to bind the dough together and helps it keep from falling apart during baking Gluten creates a net in the bread product that captures carbon dioxide produced by yeast. Kneadin
