Beginner Level
Hey everyone! I'm excited to have you in class, and I hope you find some delicious recipes to enjoy over the next few months. Here is a link to all of the recipes you will need for the next few months as we bake together! I've also listed the tools you will need. If you need any substitutions (such as avoiding allergens or something you don't like), please let me know and I'll help you out the best I can! https://docs.google.com/document/d/13mvAtINa9EX5PUb9E7HTgvC0rR6cSya5lg43ytE8-kA/edit?usp=sharing The best way to get in touch with me is to send me a message. I aim to respond within 24 hours, although that may be delayed on the weekends occasionally. Each week includes a video (or 2-3) where you can bake along with me. I'll walk you through everything, from gathering and measuring your ingredients, how to use special tools, and what your recipe should be looking like at different stages. Of course, if you have questions I don't answer in the video, feel free to message me and/or send pictures so I can help you out. Each week, you should plan on spending about 30-45 minutes preparing your recipe, plus the time it takes to actually bake your treat.
Learning Goals
Students will explore savory and sweet baking.Students will learn to read a recipe and make appropriate substitutions according to preference, materials available, and dietary restrictions.

Parental Guidance
Dear parents and guardians,
You will be eating a lot of baked goods! Please enjoy!
Many baked goods have common allergens, including wheat, dairy, and soy. If you have food allergies, please let me know so I can recommend some substitutions. I always bake dairy free, and have done gluten free as well, so I know many substitutions you can use!
Students will be using various kitchen tools, including knives, the stove and oven, and other tools. At parents discretion, students may need supervision.
Supply List
Students will be given a recipe (including instructions, materials needed, and tools needed) two weeks in advance, which should allow enough time to get groceries if needed. Each week, students will need an oven, measuring cups and spoons, a bowl, and a spoon for mixing. Students will also regularly need a mixer (hand-held or stand), various pans (bundt, cupcake, cookie, cake pans, etc.) As always, if there is something you do not have, please let me know and I will offer a substitution.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
