Chapters- 29-35 READ
Lecture:
Baking is very precise, no guess measuring.
Cupcakes used to be little cakes that were made using cups.
Scale/weigh everything.
Oz/grams. Grams are much better to use than ounces.
Easy way to check the scale is working, place a nickel on it, it should weigh 5 grams
The saying a Pint is a Pound the world around- is talking about Water, Eggs, Milk, Wine, Cream, Xtract- Same volume as weight
Eggs usually weigh 50 grams each.
Gluten is protein found in wheat, gives strength, structure and chewiness
Types of flour:
All Purpose- Next highest in Gluten Bread-Highest in Gluten Pastry – Tender and almost like All Purpose Cake-Lowest in Gluten Whole Wheat- Has a little bit of Gluten but add Bread flour Flour + Liquid+ Mix= Gluten = The more dense or tough the cookie will be
Adding fat helps the Gluten not absorb the liquid.
Bakers % Weight of Ingredient
Weight of flour x100 = %
20 Grams salt
1000Grams Flour = 2%
