Side Work



Do you have your Culinary Arts Students do SIDE WORK?

I do. EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY

Upper level students need to take responsibility for their lab.

It should take a group of 16-18 students no longer than 15 min to run through the lab and get it in working order.

Here is an example of my Monday and Thursday side work list.

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.

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. ...
