Content of the Diploma
There is no doubt that the origin of restaurant confectionery lies in the deep knowledge of the raw material and ingredients in pastry.
We will get to know the families of raw materials, understanding the nutritional part of food, its physical-chemical reactions and its organoleptic qualities.
You will learn to classify foods to know what culinary treatment we should apply to each one.
Brioche, panettone, kougloff… Whipped dough, puff pastry, these are some of the most classic representations of dough. There is no doubt that the demand in this sector is increasing and both the knowledge of the raw materials and the technification of the process are responsible for the result.
The new pastry elaborations in restaurants go through mastering not only the necessary techniques but also having good formulation bases in both pastry and ice cream making.
We will discover among many other things how to make mousses, gels, dehydrated and decorations with sugar.
Technological ingredients will also be treated, such as liquid nitrogen and the use of the siphon.
