BREAD STATION
The students in this station will be required to produce three to five different types of loaf breads, pizza doughs, focaccia and rolls each day. Plus any breads/rolls required for the quantity kitchen and catering. Below is a checklist of the different types of doughs, loaf breads and rolls each student going through this station will be required to produce.
Focaccia Doughs (Daily)
Sour Doughs, White (1-2 times per week)
Country Loaves (1-2 time per week)
Soft Rolls (Daily)
Wheat Rolls (Daily)

Hard Rolls (1 time per week)
Hamburger Buns (as needed)
Santiam special order breads (as needed)
Retail bread of choice (about 6 portions) daily
Hearth breads
Quantity breads (as needed) *list is posted on Bakery refrigerator door - check day
ahead
CAKE STATION
The students in this station will be required to produce two complete cake desserts daily. Students should familiarize themselves with the main components of cakes (different cake mixing methods, frostings, assembly and decorating technique, etc.) for which both the packet recipes and textbook will be referenced. Production focus will have two main areas: 1. Highly ornate cakes with labor-intensive garnish, or 2. Cakes suited to large-scale production, appropriate to larger caterings. Below is a list of recipes/techniques, which students should read in preparation for cake station:
1. Egg foam mixing methods (text)
2. Single and two-stage and creaming mixing methods (text)
3. Meringue buttercreams (Swiss, Italian, French - text)
4. Simple buttercreams (text & packet)
5. Ganache (text)
6. Packet recipe cakes (packet)
7. Understanding of cake ingredients, especially chemical leaveners (text)
8. Pan preparation, baking, cooling and storage (text)
9. Frosting and piped decoration technique
SHORT DOUGH STATION
Short dough station includes quick bread, pies, cookies and tarts. Scones are produced daily, first thing in the morning. Students are required to produce many different pastry bases, but will find tremendous similarity in the ingredients and techniques. Proper understanding of gluten development, mixing methods, chemical leavening agents, and ingredient balances are key to short dough success. Students should read chapters in the text and recipes in the packet relating to: 1. Pie crust & filling
2. Biscuits, muffins, and other quick breads
3. Cookies and tart dough
4. Proper oven temperature
5. Gluten development
6. Blind baking technique
7. Baking qualities of fats, flours, sugars, eggs Scones and two desserts daily should be produced from the short dough station.
Gluten Free / Dietary Needs
This station is to help you get accustomed to the ever growing needs of special diets and the process in which we handle them. You will be responsible for producing one dessert and one retail baked good for café and commons, daily. Recipes can be found in the packet to follow. You will also be allowed to test and implement recipes you research and find on line or from other resources.
CUSTARD STATION Students in custard station will provide both stove top and oven baked custards. Also, students may commonly need to provide other pastry components to serve in combination, since many custards are used as fillings in compound desserts. Students should reference the text and packet on topics such as:
1. Cheesecakes
2. Oven-baked custards
3. Stove top custard
4. Gelatin usage
5. Tempering of egg products (not chocolate)
6. Ice cream and frozen desserts
7. Mousses, chiffons, cream pies
ROLL-IN STATION The students in this station produce a variety of layered (or Alaminated@) dough such as croissant, Danish, puff pastry and cinnamon rolls. Students should be creative with the finishing flavors and components of roll-in deserts, since the base dough is often a neutral-flavored serving vessel. The text book, along with other professional bakery books, will provide a variety of examples for finished roll-in desserts, such as Tarte Tatin, Napoleons, turnovers and Palmiers. Proper rolling technique is critical to the quality of roll-in dough, and students should read this chapter in the text carefully. Also included in the roll-in rotation are Pate a Choux and phyllo work. Custard components, such as pastry cream and Chantilly cream, are also commonly produced in roll-in station. Efficient use of time is critical in the roll-in station. Roll-in dough requires many resting periods, and making good use of this Adown time@ is necessary. Students are urged to have an entire dessert planned, so these gaps can be used for making the other components. One finished dessert and one dessert in progress are expected daily.
SECOND YEAR BAKERY The expectations of Second Year students will be to apply previous knowledge and skills toward Santiam Restaurant desserts, two each day. We encourage research and new presentations. This will be a chance to perfect decorating skills for a required special project. This project will be high end, well planned and presented to the public. The student(s) will be required to have all their desserts plated and ready to go by 10:45 a.m. The student(s) will also be expected to hold a brief menu meeting with Santiam wait staff at 10:30 a.m.

on top of cake, and return to oven. Bake until meringue is lightly browned
and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let stand 10
minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen, and release sides
of pan. Let cool, about 30 minutes, before slicing and serving.
Cook's Note
Use the largest spatula you own and as few strokes as possible to maintain the egg
white mixture's light, airy consistency when folding it into the chocolate batter.
Hazelnut skins will come right off when you toast the nuts; rub them vigorously
inside a folded kitchen towel while they're still warm. An offset spatula lets you
reach easily into the springform pan to gently coax the meringue over the half-
baked cake layer.

desired. Roll out remaining dough in the same manner; transfer dough (on
parchment) to a baking sheet. Chill pie shell and dough until firm, about 30
minutes.
2. Place blueberries in a large bowl; with your hands, crush about 1/2 cup of
berries, letting them fall into the bowl as you work. Add sugar, cornstarch,
and lemon juice; stir to combine. Spoon mixture into chilled pie shell,
mounding berries slightly in the center. Dot with butter. Remove dough from
refrigerator, and place over blueberry filling. Tuck edge of top dough
between edge of bottom dough and rim of pan. Using your fingers, gently
press both layers of dough along the edge to seal, and crimp as desired.
3. Using a paring knife, cut several vents in top of dough to allow steam to
escape. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and cream. Brush surface
with egg wash, being careful not to let it pool. Freeze or refrigerate pie until
firm, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack
in lower third.
4. Place pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until crust begins to turn
golden, about 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Continue baking, rotating sheet halfway through, until crust is deep golden
brown and juices are bubbling and have thickened, 40 to 50 minutes more.
Transfer pie to a wire rack to cool completely. The pie is best eaten the day
it is baked, but it can be kept at room temperature, loosely covered with
plastic wrap, for up to 2 days.

Gluten Free Nut Fudge Brownies
Yield: ½ sheet / 16ea
Ingredients
3oz unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for pan
1/3 cup cornstarch (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup chopped toasted pecans or any nut
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan and
line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Whisk
together cornstarch, cocoa, cinnamon, and salt. In a large microwave-safe
bowl, microwave butter and chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring each
time, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
2. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Stir in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Add
cornstarch mixture and stir vigorously until mixture is smooth and begins to
pull away from side of bowl, about 2 minutes. Stir in pecans.
3. Pour batter into pan and smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center
comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 35 minutes, rotating pan
halfway through. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Using paper
overhang, lift cake out of pan and cut into 16 squares.
Cook's Notes
Cornstarch helps give these brownies structure, just as the gluten in flour would.
Spoon and level it in a measuring cup. If you prefer, swap toasted walnuts or
hazelnuts for the pecans. Store brownies in an airtight container, up to 3 days.

Classic Pate a Choux
The classic proportion of ingredients is: 1, 4, 8, 16
1 litre of water
400g of butter
800g of flour
16 eggs (whole)
Also: 1 teaspoon salt.
Optional: two tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon of some flavouring such as
vanilla, orange extract, etc, depending on what the intended use of the pastry is. If
you are making savoury profiteroles, omit.
In a large saucepan, bring to a boil the water, butter and salt. When the water has
boiled and the butter melted in, take the saucepan off the heat (leave the burner
on), and whisk in the flour. Return the pan to the (high) heat, and stir the dough
(wooden spoon ideal) until it "dries" enough to come away easily from the sides of
the pan (about 3 to 5 minutes.)
Remove from heat now (permanently.) Start heating the oven to 400 F (200 C.)
Beat an egg in a bowl, then mix it into the dough. Repeat until all eggs are added.
Only add the next one when the dough has completely taken up the previous one.
This is the stage at which you are beating in air.
Pipe out onto a greased baking sheet in the sizes desired. Leave a good space
between each, at least an inch (2 1/2 cm.)
You have to proceed right from making the dough, to baking them. The dough
won't stand around.

Pithiviers Yield: 9in Round
Ingredients
For the Frangipane
• 2/3 cup blanched whole almonds, toasted
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3oz butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon dark rum
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
For Assembling
• All-purpose flour, for dusting
• 1 pound Puff Pastry, about 1/3 recipe
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Directions
1. Prepare the Puff Pastry.
2. Make the frangipane: In the bowl of a food processor, blend the almonds and
the sugar until very fine. Add the butter, egg, rum, flour, and almond extract and
process until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and shape into a 6-inch round. Freeze
until firm, at least 45 minutes.
3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out puff pastry into a rectangle about
18 by 9 inches and 1/8 inch thick. Using a 9-inch cake pan as a guide, cut two 9-
inch rounds from the dough with a very sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Using a
1-inch circular biscuit cutter or a large round pastry tip, cut out a steam vent from
the center of the top round. Place rounds on a baking sheet and freeze until very
firm but still pliable, about 20 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream for the egg
wash.
5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove dough from freezer. Place frozen
frangipane round in the center of the bottom dough circle. Brush the border with
egg wash, taking special care not to let the egg wash drip down the sides, which
would inhibit proper puffing during baking. Place the second round on top, and
press to seal, using your fingers. Using a small paring knife, score the top of each
Pithivier in a circular, decorative cross-hatch pattern. With a small paring knife,
score around edges in 1/4-inch increments. Transfer Pithiviers
