    Can you believe how much that dutch baby pancake rises just from the steam leavening it? It is magical!

      I have never even heard of a dutch baby pancake :( but wow that thing was rising on up, reminds me of a yorkshire pudding, I have never tried to make Choux Pastry or the things you mentioned it is good for so this will be a intimidating task but I will give it a go. :)
      Thank you for another great lesson.

    • @BakerBettie

      Dutch Baby's and Yorkshire Puddings are very similar, but Dutch Baby's do have a higher ratio of egg in them and are traditionally cooked in butter rather than pan drippings. I'm excited to hear how your first choux pastry experience goes! I walk you through it step by step in my post so hopefully it will make it less intimidating!

    However really appreciate the course you've laid out. The descriptions on what specific ingredients (different types of flour, leavening agents, eggs and fats) do is really well laid out. I've been cooking since my 18th but only started baking during the pandemic. It's quite daunting for the beginner and I wish I stumbled upon your videos earlier. Thanks!

    • @BakerBettie

      Here is the believed origin of why Americans call if a Dutch Baby: “
      Its ancestor is the crepe-like German pancake known as pfannkuchen. Many credit Seattle’s Maca Cafe for adapting the recipe in the early 20th century. Legend has it that when Victor Maca’s daughter first saw the German-derived dish, she mispronounced Deutsch (“German”) as “Dutch,” and the Dutch baby was born.”

    My recipe for Springerle cookies should have Hartshorn (ammonium bicarbonate). Years ago, someone changed it to baking powder, but the pictures that are molded into them with a special rolling pin get lost as the leavening inflates them like balloons. I need to learn more about these things. Further complicating the matter is the package of all purpose flour (Gold Medal) that says it can be used in recipes that require self rising flour.

      Baking powder works instantly and during the baking process. Yeast is a living organism that gives off carbon dioxide that is trapped in the gluten structure of bread and makes it rise. Yeast is very slow to work, baking powder is fast, hence the name "quick breads"

    • @BakerBettie
      @BakerBettie  6 років тому +4

      Hi Richard! It doesn't typically make sense to combine yeast with chemical leaveners (baking powder and baking soda) because yeast needs time to function properly while baking soda and baking soda begin acting immediately. If you were to add baking soda or baking powder to a yeast dough and allowed the dough to ferment, the chemical leaveners would no longer be active by the time the baked good goes into the oven.

    • @BakerBettie
      @BakerBettie  5 років тому

      Hi Ree, Unfortunately, baking powder is really not a direct substitute for yeast. While they both perform the same function of leavening your baked good, the way in which they do this is completely different and your recipe likely will not be very successful by trying to substitute the two. If you do not have access to or want to use yeast, I suggest looking for recipes that specifically call for baking powder.

  • @kevin_dasilva
    @kevin_dasilva 8 днів тому

    A quick question: you said that we knead the dough with biological yeast so that the gluten formed makes the dough elastic to trap in the gases exhaled by the funghi feeding on the starches and sugars. Why can't that same process work with baking powder? I understand that when you make the dough with baking powder, the chemical process already starts right then and there. So is it that if you tried to knead the dough, you would "knead out" the gases made by the baking powder? I wonder if I already answered my own question hahahahaha My initial thought was that you could knead the dough enough to develop gluten but I had forgotten that the chemical reaction would last a finite amount of time, of course

    Can you combine different leavening agents such as baking powder and yeast?

    • @BakerBettie
      @BakerBettie  4 роки тому +1

      It doesn't make a lot of sense to combine chemical leavening with yeast for several reasons. Chemical leavening works quickly to leaven your dough. When it gets hydrated and combined with an acidic ingredient it starts immediately producing carbon dioxide. Where yeast needs time to start creating gasses. So by the time it goes into the oven, the baking soda will be inactive. Baking powder is double acting so it does get another burst of activity when it hits the heat, but it will only be half as active. What kind of recipe would you want to do this in?

    • @BakerBettie
      @BakerBettie  2 роки тому

      Gluten is what gives traditional baked goods structure. When a dough or batter is baked, the gluten network stretches to contain the gasses that are leavening the baked good.
      A strong gluten network will produce baked goods with a lot of chew and a sturdy structure. In contrast, a weak gluten network will produce baked goods and are light and tender.

    Can a baking powder work as good as yeast??

    • @BakerBettie
      @BakerBettie  5 років тому

      Hi there, baking powder also helps leaven your baked goods but it works in a completely different way than yeast does. Yeast needs a strong gluten structure to hold in its gasses because as it feeds, it produces the gasses very slowly. This is why bread dough is kneaded. It builds strength to help hold in the gasses produced by the yeast. Baking powder leavens baked goods with lighter textures and less gluten development. It releases gasses very quickly and you want less of a gluten structure so it can rise in the oven and stay tender. This is why you are careful to not overwork the gluten in things like biscuits and muffins. Hope that helps.

    Why is yeast used fr bread and baking powder fr cakes?

    • @BakerBettie
      @BakerBettie  5 років тому +2

      Yeast needs time to feed in order to leaven the baked good. In order for it to make bread rise, you must develop a strong gluten structure so that the dough will hold the gasses in. This leads to the best flavor of the bread and also the best texture. If you were to develop gluten strong enough to hold in the gasses that yeast produce in a cake, the cake would be tough and chewy. So baking soda or baking powder is used for quick leavening and yeast is used when the flavor is desired and when a strong chewy texture is what you want.

      While yeast is also a leavener like baking powder and baking soda, it functions differently. It really needs to be used in baked goods that have a strong gluten structure like a bread dough. It does not work well in something like a muffin or cookie because the gluten isn’t strong enough to hold the gasses in.
      Make sure when you measure baking soda or baking powder that you level it off well so you aren’t putting too much in.
