History in the Baking

The definition of baking is, "To cook (food) with dry heat, especially in an oven." http://www.thefreedictionary.com/baking , along with many other forms of ways you could describe it. Baking has been around before anyone can even remember. In the way earlier years, baking was mostly consisted of baking bread for meals. Throughout the years baking has evolved into much much more recipes such as desserts and many other dishes. Over time, many families have been in the baking industry because of their ancestors. Their stories are very interesting, along with a lot of other facts about baking. This man's story stuck out to me the most and I am confident you will learn something from it too, http://www.pfisterconsulting.com/history.htm.

Recommended Baking Books

In the book Chocolate Classics, published by Brand Name Corporations in 1985, it shows you how to bake every chocolate sensation you could imagine, as well as informing you in the first couple of pages how to measure certain items, oven temperatures, possible substitutions, and even food storage. It is organized throughout the book by recipes and even includes pictures to most of them, but not all. The audience of this book is open to anyone who wants to learn how, or continue baking. The pictures and eye catching names of the desserts persuade people to want to try it, which is the purpose of the whole book. I also recommend the book Baking, written by Marsha Day in 1999. This book includes over 400 recipes to choose from that have step-by-step pictures to make it easier for beginners. In the very beginning pages of the book, Day put an ingredients list, and a baking equiptment list. By being organized very helpfully, this book is very persuasive in getting people to become interested in baking the recipes given. This book is intended for and audience of bakers of course, and for people who need the confidence to learn how.

Reasons to Bake and Why

My topic is baking yummy treats and desserts for the family during the holidays, such as, gooey pumpkin butter cake, peppermint browines, or white chocolate covered pretzels sprinkled with peppermint bark. I chose this topic because I love to bake with my mom, especially during the holidays to give as gifts or to just enjoy in my family. I know how to make many different goodies, and am always trying to challenge myself with new recipes and trying different things. I hope to achieve how to make more desserts and share recipes so people can experience it with their own families. It is a great bonding experience and is all around fun for anyone.
