This course will introduce students to the principles and practices of baking and pastry arts. Understanding baking requires a more scientific approach than cooking; therefore, there will be greater emphasis on food chemistry and science and scientific experimentation. Students will learn the broad range of basic baked goods including breads, rolls, pies, cakes, and cookies as well as be introduced to the concept of pastry arts by making puddings, fillings, dessert sauces, icings, mousses, bavarians, and other pastry preparations. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in both on/off campus internships via our Miner Diner and local restaurants.
