Part of Lesson Plan: Introduction to Laminated Doughs

Activity Overview / Details

Day 2

This is where the teacher demonstrates how to make puff pastry. 

First the teacher will hand out the recipe.

(Have all of the ingredients ready and measured out)

Next the students will guide the teacher through the recipe one step at a time...

'who can tell me the first step'

'and how do I prepare the butter block'

'what do I do next' and so on until the butter has been added to the dough and the first folds are completed.

Dough needs to be chilled between folds but when it is time for the teacher to complete the next round of rolls and folds, the students will reconvene and walk the teacher through the next rolls and folds for the dough.

Before students begin working in their kitchen, they are to sanitize the counter and before they leave for the day, they are to scrub their counters/work surfaces with hot soapy water and dry off.  Once dry, they are to sanitize their work station.
