Once you\u2019ve perfected basic tasks like creaming butter and sifting flour, you can move on to more advanced baking techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Exploring these new skills can provide you with a challenge, and expanding your repertoire can also make you a more competitive candidate in the field. So if you\u2019re looking to up your pastry chef skills, spend some time practicing these six advanced baking techniques.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Caramelizing Sugar<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re making caramel candies or a caramel frosting, turning sugar from white to golden brown is the first step. While this may seem like a simple skill, the precision required to monitor and control the sugar\u2019s temperature means caramelizing sugar is an advanced technique. If you heat the sugar to too high of a temperature it will burn, but if you don\u2019t heat it enough, the color will be lighter than desired.<\/p>\n<p>After you practice caramelizing sugar until it reaches the proper color, you can explore using this sugar to make both soft and hard caramel candies, caramel sauce, and more.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Laminating Dough for Flaky Pastries<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing how to laminate dough is essential if you hope to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/blog\/baking-pastry\/the-delicious-history-of-viennoiseries\/\">viennoiseries<\/a> like croissants and pan au chocolate as well as puff pastry.<\/p>\n<p>While crafting cakes, cookies, and other baked goods involves thoroughly mixing butter and other ingredients, laminating dough involves folding butter in with the rest of the dough. The end result is repeating layers of dough and butter that lead to a flaky texture when baked.<\/p>\n<p>Two keys to successfully working with laminated dough are patience and temperature control. The layers need to rest between folds, and the butter must be kept cold to achieve flaky layers.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Working with Naturally Leavened Dough<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes time to make bread, many bakers turn to commercially available yeast to make the dough rise. Since this yeast is produced in large batches, it\u2019s uniform and predictable, which makes learning how to bake bread a bit easier.<\/p>\n<p>However, some bakers forgo using this packaged product and instead turn to the native yeasts present in their environments. By capturing the yeast floating around your kitchen or home, you can create a starter that can then be used to produce loaves of bread, cinnamon rolls, bagels, and other naturally leavened products.<\/p>\n<p>Since yeast strains vary depending on the location, you\u2019ll need to practice patience as you learn how your particular yeast works. While it can take some time to learn how long to proof and bake a naturally leavened loaf, the results are one-of-a-kind products that are often more flavorful <em>and<\/em> more digestible than their commercial yeast counterparts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\n\t<div>\n\t\t<div class=\"popup01 popup-body inline\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"popup-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"main-title desktop\">The Essential Culinary Career Survey<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"main-title mobile\">The Essential Culinary Career Survey<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"main-subtitle\">What's your ideal culinary career: Fine dining?

Tempering Chocolate<\/h2>\n<p>No matter if you work in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/blog\/baking-pastry\/how-to-become-a-cake-decorator\/\">cake decorating<\/a> business, craft desserts at a hotel, or dream of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/blog\/baking-pastry\/how-to-become-a-chocolatier\/\">becoming a chocolatier<\/a>, tempering chocolate is one technique every pastry chef should be familiar with. Tempering involves heating chocolate and then cooling it back down so it hardens to form an irresistible shine and clean snap.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chocolate-slab-truffles-plated-on-a-white-dish-768.jpeg\" alt=\"Chocolate slab truffles plated on a white dish\" width=\"768\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chocolate-slab-truffles-plated-on-a-white-dish-768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Chocolate-slab-truffles-plated-on-a-white-dish-768-300x198.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\n<p>If you improperly temper chocolate, you may end up with unsightly white dots known as bloom, as well as a friable finished product. However, proper tempering will allow you to use chocolate to create shiny chocolate-coated truffles, piped chocolate garnishes, and irresistible molded chocolates.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Piping with Accuracy<\/h2>\n<p>Filling a piping bag with icing and creating lines or dots may seem simple, but if you\u2019ve ever seen a cake covered with crisp rosettes or perfectly straight lines you know the value of refined piping skills.<\/p>\n<p>Since piping is a largely physical task, spending time practicing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/blog\/baking-pastry\/7-cake-decorating-techniques-every-pastry-chef-needs-to-know\/\">piping skills<\/a> can lead to a big payoff. As your hands and arms become trained to hold the piping bag without shaking, you\u2019ll be better able to create precise lines, shells, roses, and more.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Making a Coral Tuile<\/h2>\n<p>Most pastry chefs are familiar with the crisp, thin, rounded French cookies known as tuiles. However, not everyone is familiar with the modern spin-off known as a coral tuile.<\/p>\n<p>These thin cookies are made much like traditional tuiles, but the final product is a lacy, sweet wafer that can be used to garnish everything from cake to panna cotta.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23338\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23338\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-basil-panna-cotta-strawberry-coulis-strawberry-milk-crumb-and-coral-tuile-on-a-white-plate-768.jpeg\" alt=\"Lemon basil panna cotta, strawberry coulis, strawberry milk crumb, and coral tuile on a white plate\" width=\"768\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-basil-panna-cotta-strawberry-coulis-strawberry-milk-crumb-and-coral-tuile-on-a-white-plate-768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lemon-basil-panna-cotta-strawberry-coulis-strawberry-milk-crumb-and-coral-tuile-on-a-white-plate-768-300x226.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lemon basil panna cotta, strawberry coulis, strawberry milk crumb, and coral tuile made by Escoffier Pastry Arts student Jen H.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Bonus: Baking with Flour and Dairy Alternatives<\/h2>\n<p>Every pastry chef knows the beauty of baked goods\u2014the flaky layers of a perfectly laminated croissant, the silky smooth richness of a chocolate truffle, and the balance of flavors and textures in an apple crumble. However, not everyone can enjoy these foods in their original form.<\/p>\n<p>Specialized diets like vegan, gluten-free, and low sugar can limit some individuals from eating a traditional pan of brownies or layer cake. But that shouldn\u2019t mean they have to forgo bread and sweets entirely!<\/p>\n<p>As you advance as a pastry chef, you may want to consider finding ways to adapt popular recipes to fit these specialized diets, which are becoming more commonplace. This could involve swapping ingredients like dairy and wheat flour for soy milk and oat flour as well as incorporating new ingredients such as xanthan gum.<\/p>\n<p>While adapting these recipes can take some fiddling, students in Escoffier\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/plant-based-programs\/\">Plant-Based<\/a> programs illustrate what\u2019s possible. Throughout their programs, they may create stunning plant-based items such as dairy-free ice cream and tender scones. Plus, knowing how to bake for specialty diets can set students up to market themselves with this skill and carve a niche that could be attractive to hiring managers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23339\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23339\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Vegan-verines-with-pretzels-and-nuts-in-glasses-768.jpeg\" alt=\"Vegan verines with pretzels and nuts in glasses\" width=\"768\" height=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Vegan-verines-with-pretzels-and-nuts-in-glasses-768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Vegan-verines-with-pretzels-and-nuts-in-glasses-768-300x277.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegan verines by Jessica P., Escoffier Pastry Arts student<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Never Stop Advancing Your Pastry Skills<\/h2>\n<p>No matter where you are in your pastry journey, there\u2019s always something new to learn!
