We look at how bread; cake; and pastry are so different despite being made of the same basic ingredients. In the same way that chemicals are made of different combinations of elements; we can create an endless number of delicious treats with just a few things in different ratios and mixed in different ways. Class time is entirely devoted to baking different things; so you can get hands-on experience. There will be some short papers reflecting on each topic and a final project where you invent a recipe and bake it for the class.
