Quick Breads


Quick bread mixing methods are basic baking techniques that every beginning baker needs to master.

Prior to teaching the Quick Bread Unit, I take time to teach baking ingredients and how they all work together. (I will share this in another post)

When teaching this unit I follow this unit plan:

*Participation Lab: Is a lab that is for student practice and learning. This lab is not weighted as high as a practical lab.

Day 1: Quick Bread Lecture and Notetaker (Demo Biscuit Method)
Day 2: Biscuit Method Lab (Participation Labs)
Day 3: Watch Alton Brown Demo/ Muffin Method Lab (Participation Labs)
Copy and paste this URL in to your address bar. This is Alton Brown Teaching the Steps to the Muffin Method

I had to you FireFox to get the videos to work. 
Day 4: Creaming Method Lab (Participation Labs)
Day 5: Quick Bread Test/ Quick Bread Practical Lab (Tested Lab)

Biscuit Method

Muffin Method


Creaming Method


As a homework assignment have your students my timelapse videos at home. They really seem to like to do this!!!!

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.

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. ...
