Icing star biscuits 

Sapphire's DPP (week 3)

Brioche cinnamon chocolate pinwheels.

Fist we made yeast dough, then we rolled out the dough and split it in half and then we rolled out one half. Once we had flattened the dough enough we cover 4/5ths with butter. After we had covered it in butter we put cinnamon and chocolate buttons over the buttered part. Then we rolled them up and put it in the oven. We also made biscuits for students who are leaving and going to a different school.

THE INDEPENDENT PROJECT. 

Today at DPP Kiana and I got put in charge of making cupcakes for the group. This is called an independent project. Every 2 weeks 2 people are selected to make cupcakes we made chocolate. This is to teach us to cook indepently. 

Hygiene in the kitchen is also very important. Because otherwise you can get bugs in your food.   

The kitchen

This was our second day in the kitchen. When we went in we saw our yeast. Than we talked about hygiene in the kitchen and how important is it in the kitchen. Than we got our task for the day it was sweet short pastery. First you need to...

Add flour and butter. Mix them.

Than take a egg and whisk it than pour it into your mixture.

Than mix the ingredients all together.

When it's done you have to put it in the fridge so than it can set.

Take it out in half and hour than shape it.

It is supposed to be smaller than your pinky finger.

Than we put it in the oven make sure it has been preheated. Because it will rise quickly if it is preheated . If it's not the bottom of the pastry will burn because it is trying so hard to rise but it doesn't have the heat. 

Kiana and Ramari were in charge of the cupcakes. I think they did a pretty good job.

First day in the kitchen

Today in cooking we are learning about yeast  and hygiene. Hygiene is about clean, when your in the kitchen your supposed to wash your hands and be clean. Yeast is alive. It is suppose to be stored in a warm place. Yeast can't stay in the cold or hot. Yeast is alive like us it needs water, food and time to expand. In the kitchen we wear aprons to look professional. We have a bin with a lid. Lids with bins do not attract flies or bugs or any other creatures. We had made Anzac cookies. It was A medal cookie. When we were done we put some icing on it that's we took it around to the teachers.

Hygiene in the kitchen

When we go to cooking we talk about hygiene. Hygiene is keeping clean like washing your hands and finger nails. So no germs get in the food and when people eat it they want get sick. You should also wipe the benches and make sure the cutlery is clean. Another good thing is to shut the bin lid so there are no flies. 

This morning in dpp we learnt about yeast yeast needs water
And oxygen to live. So if you keep yeast in vinegar it won't die.

We made sweet short pastry the ingredients are butter
Flour 1 egg sugar and milk.



We need to keep the kitchen clean so the bacteria Can't get in to the food

LHToday we are making sweet pastry. But we have to make sure your clean like wash your hands and fingernails. So no germs don't get in the food and the people that eat it don't get sick. And also put the lid on the bin down so there are no flys. First we went over what hygiene is and what yeast needs to grow. It needs air water time and a warm temperature. But before we stared cooking there was two people that made cup cakes with out the teachers help.

Hygiene in the kitchen

In the kitchen it is important to keep clean. You have to keep your hands clean, because then there are no bugs to get on the food/benches. It's important also, to have a lid on the bin, because it helps keep flies away and they don't lay eggs or multiply. Keeping the benches clean also will help the food stay safe. Having a white t-shirt/apron is good because then you can see wether you've kept clean, or not.

We have also learnt how to keep our bin clean and make sure it has a lid so that we don't get flies. We have learnt a little bit about yeast, we have learnt that yeast needs; food, water, oxygen and time to grow. We made ANZAC medal biscuits, we used the ANZAC biscuit as the medal piece and shortbread for the banner. Overall all our biscuits turned out great! :-)

Catherine's cooking story.

We spined sugar on top to make it look shiny. Ella and I made 6 biscuits. 1 went  to a teacher and a other biscuit went to up of the office staff. We had 4 biscuits left so we both had 2 Each.

 Hygiene means you have to have clean hands and nails to keep the cooking and food hygienic. So you need to be very  clean with everything really. If you have long hair you would need to have your hair tied up.

My reflection

Today so far at DPP we have learnt about hygiene and how to make yeast . We learnt that you need to be hygienic for DPP so we don't spread germs, and to stop us from spreading we need to wash your hand and keep your bench tidy. We also learnt to make yeast , yeast is alive just  like us. Yeast needs the stuff that we need such as food, sleep ,air and water.



This we have nearly finished our biscuits,  all we have to do is ice them. Mr Sefton added burnt sugar to the top of our biscuits so they look golden.

We have iced our biscuits and tried them and they are very yummy.
