King Arthur Baking Company’s Post

We are half way (20 bakers). Could you and your team help us reach 40 bakers for our 40th Anniversary? The extra challenge of our GROW Bake Off is that all of our Ace Bakers have to include a culinary vegetable in their entry. But what is a culinary vegetable? And how can you use it? 🥕 Carrot - great in cakes. 🥕 Beetroot - perfect for muffins. 🥕 Courgette - adds loads of moisture to your bakes. 🥕 Sweet potato, squash and pumpkin - all work well in cheesecakes. 🥕 Parsnips - an unusual ingredient that works well in cakes. 🥕 Sweetcorn - great to add to scone batter. We hope this gives our bakers inspiration for their bakes. Let us know if we've missed any in the comments below! #GrowBakeOff2024 #WithoutUs

Easter in Bakeries Let me ask you this question: Do you know the history of hot cross buns? I’m guessing your answer is “No” and if it is “Yes” than you are one of the rare bakery owners. Now, let me ask do you have any staff who know the history? Probably “No” as well. Wouldn’t your store do well if your staff could have conversations with your customers about this? A great conversation starter during this time and could prove to be a valuable one as well. So here is a quick breakdown you can share with them. The hot x bun originated to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus, where you break your fast on Good Friday by consuming them. The Cross – represents the crucifixion of Jesus. The Spice – signifies the spices used to embalm Jesus at his burial. The buns have been associated with the lead up to Easter holidays for centuries. Stay tuned I’ll share some more Easter tips soon! Happy Easter trading 😊 #bakerylife #bakerycoachinghiddengems #bakery #bakeryowner #hotxbuns #easter

When life gives you lemons… …and oranges and limes 😝 A little baking going on in the Dawes household this morning. Baking is one of my favourite things to do. So today, I’m using up some leftovers to make a yummy citrus drizzle cake. At least I hope it’s yummy. Does my baking always go to plan? No! I’ve had plenty of kitchen disasters🙈 It doesn’t put me off though - it’s the learning from what went wrong that makes me want to bake some more. And how important is that…learning from what doesn’t work out the way we wanted? So when life gives you lemons and perhaps a few limes and oranges too, let’s learn from them - I know I will be today, however this drizzle cake works out😋 #learninganddevelopment #lemons #learn #exampreparation #cii #exams #examprep #financialservices #financialservicesindustry

Start by prepping your shrimp by chopping it down into a mush. Save 1/4 of the shrimps that are roughly chopped. Add the mushy shrimp (almost like a paste) into a food processor and toss in 3-4 cloves of smashed garlic. Blend for about a minute, until it’s a smooth paste, and then add the roughly chopped shrimp. Just blend lightly for 10-15 seconds and place the paste into a large mixing bowl. Add scallions, panko, and egg, and mix by hand for a few minutes. You want it to be a nice thicker paste and then form your shrimp burgers. Make sure you form your burgers the size you want because you are not smashing these once they hit the griddle. Place your shrimp burgers on a cutting board or tray and place them in the fridge for thirty minutes. This is to firm the burgers more and allow them to stay together. At this time make your Pineapple Habanero salsa by prepping your ingredients and then having your grill ready. Add the pineapple and red onion over direct heat and roast them for 2-3 mins per side or until your preference. Combine all the ingredients for the salsa into a food processor blend for 45-60 seconds and then place In the fridge to cool. Start a charcoal or gas grill. Set your grill up for direct grilling and add your cast iron or griddle over the coals, Start a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot, and rack about 4 inches from the heat source. You want your surface to be 425 degrees. Add vegetable oil, 1-2 tablespoons, and let it heat up for about 10 mins. After 10 mins add your shrimp burger to the cast iron and let them grill for 4-5 minutes, flip for another 4-5 mins and your top and bottom should be nice and crispy with the perfect temp internally. Toast your buns and assemble them in this order, sriracha mayo sauce on the bottom bun, crispy shrimp burger, and then the pineapple habanero salsa! Your meal is now complete and I HOPE YOU ENJOY! Combine garlic, chili, ginger, and ⅓ of the shrimp in a food processor and purée, stopping the machine to scrape down the sides of the container as necessary. Add remaining shrimp along with shallots, bell pepper, salt, pepper, and cilantro, and pulse as many times as necessary to chop shrimp, but not too finely. Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Chill for 15 to 20 minutes. Brush the grill or patties lightly with oil and place them on the grill. Cook undisturbed until a dark crust appears on the bottom and they release fairly easily with a spatula, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the other side. Serve on buns or not, as you like, with ketchup or lime juice as a condiment. Pineapple Habanero Salsa 1 cup Diced pineapple roasted ½ Red onion roasted ½ Avacado 1 cup Cilantro ½ Lime juiced 1 Habenero pepper seeded 1 tsp Cumin 1 tsp Coarse kosher salt 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
