FK Unit#2 Action Project For food Class "Recipe substitution"

-


Introduction: 

Hello reader, this is my unit#2 action project for food class. In food class we have done some pretty cool experiments, field experiences, and group discussions. We went to a restaurant/rooftop garden called Uncommon Ground where we interacted with the plants and their really cool garden systems like their drip irrigation system, and radiant hydronic thermal solar heating system. as far as experiments go, we did stuff like make brownies with applesauce instead of egg to see if it work as an emulsifying agent, or when we mixed baking soda with vinegar to see if it would make an efficient leavening agent compared to baking powder with just water, or when we switched out ground beef for mashed lentils in a meatball recipe ( it was so good). Which brings me to the project. The assignment was to switch out either a leavening agent, emulsifying agent, or a protein source. for another one ( like in previous experiments). I am substituting a leavening agent. I will be switching out yeast in my famous pizza dough recipe with a sourdough starter. This is who it turned out. 

Group:  

In order to stop us all from doing the same substitution are teacher put us in groups of three where one of us would do an emulsifier ( my group mate HR did this one) substitution, one of use would do a Protein (my group mate HC did this one) substitution, and one of use would do a leavener substitution ( I did this one).  

Recipe substitution: 

Pizza dough ( 4 servings):             

500g bread flour 

350g water 

1g active dry yeast 

Pizza dough ( substitution):

500g bread flour 

350g water 

2oz sourdough starter 

Now what if you wanted to scale this severing size up to 40?

you would divide the new recipe over the old recipe, 40/4= 10 

then multiply that number by all your ingredients such as 

500g  x 10 = 5000g bread flour 

350g x 10 = 3,500g water 

2oz x 10 = 20oz sourdough starter 

Lab report:   

Conclusion:

Overall this was a very fun action project. Though there is some stuff I would do differently. I hope you have enjoyed this project, and goodbye.

Miguel's Bike

Hello reader! This is my action project for Design & Engineering unit 2. This unit I learned about the design process, gears, circles, ellipses, the ethics of design, gear ratios, and much more. This unit we went on a lot of great FE's but the FE to Dyson was really great in my opinion because we got to work WITH design not just have them talk to us then us doing nothing with it. Something I am very proud of this unit is my interview because I put a lot of work in to it. For this project I was given a persona to design a bike for based off the situation the person is in. The purpose of this project is to use all the information we have learned this unit on a real world problem being solved by others around the world but in our own GCE kind of way. Persona: Meet Miquel Location: Sitges, Spain Age: 12 Distance from school: 1.5 miles SITUATION Sitges is a small coastal town on the water, but it’s also full of tourists - meaning Miguel has to worry about vandalism when they lock ...

       Ello reader, this is my Food For Thought action project for unit #1. For this assignment I was supposed to create an autobiography of a food. Meaning I would  choose an ingredient any dish special to my family. I chose to do butter. also in this  video in an attempt to be anonymous I use fake names. Such as the name Lawrence be Ashland, Patty gene Bluth, Pascal margine, and Mcbetty. Now that I've given you a timesheet behind the curtain, enjoy!  Ireland:  Top of the mornin to ya, the name is Butters mcbutterson. And I’m here to tell you about my journey. Let's start with my birth, I was born on march 17, 300BCE in cork, Ireland. My mother was a native moyleen cattle, domesticated in 400BCE. Like most I do not remember my birth and I also did not know my mother. Thankfully  a man named Wilson James said  “The fourth breed was hornless,  was known and is still known as the “motley” or moyleen”. Telling me my old mother was a mo...

FK Water Filter Unit#2 Action Project Water Class 11/17/20

  As you can see this is a photo of my water filter. I used a tea kettle and drilled a hole in it and inserted a piece of quarter inch copper piping that I coiled around a water bottle. Unfortunately this does not work very well because the epoxy heat proof coating I use to seal the copper to the stainless steel cracked and steam leaks out of it. So in order to fix this I ended up using the spigot that was already on the kettle and luckily I had a compression knob lying around and put the compression knob on the spigot and put the spigot in a bowl that I covered with a silicone Bowl cover and was able to get about 2 to 3 tablespoons of water however I could have gotten more.  Before filter:                                               After filter:                  Before filter:           ...
