Chocolates

General Information to be known by a Good Chocolatier.

Putting together a good assortment of pralines or chocolates.

In the first place it is necessary to choose chocolates that present well visually, choosing a variety of shapes and colours. The appearance counts for a lot. Besides different finishes, the assortment ought to include a variety of different centers. It goes without saying that the extra effort involved in this cannot be an obstacle to the devoted chocolatier.

It might seem a little strange at first but the most difficult chocolates to make and the most expensive ones are very much the popular ones. Be aware of this and keep them marketable.

Chocolate moulds do not necessarily contain the same number of chocolates, so in order to obtain an equally numbered assortment you may have to use, for example, one 24-piece mould for one type and two 12-piece moulds for the other.

In the beginning do not overdo the size of selection you want to present in order to keep a clear picture of your production line requirements.

Always use first quality chocolate!

Use only fresh ingredients and let your suppliers know that is your first concern.

The storage of chocolate and pralines a constantly maintained cool and dry environment. Freshness must be one of your top priorities, so balance your stock control and regulate your stock turnover.

Long term planning with a clear vision of tomorrow is vital to big companies; remember that it may also be the key to your own success.

Do not forget that egg yolk contains enough lecithin to easily "fix" separating filling.

Old starch is the best possible material to pour the chocolate centers into; after each session you ought to top it up with a fifty-fifty mixture of maize-flour and rice starch (ground to powder). Store the starch as much as possible in the heat room. The forms used for the imprints in the starch are preferably made of dentists' plaster. You do of cource have to mould it into a suitable chocolate model. To make these plaster models, dissolve plaster powder in sufficient water until the water no longer absorbs the plaster, then go on to blend the substance thoroughly. Pour the substance into a former and softly shake to let out the air bubbles. When the plaster has hardened, take it out of the former and leave the models to dry out completely.

With some contruction glue, stick them to a ruler.

Processing chocolate:

Chocolate that is used for manufacturing pralines is not the same as chocolate bars. As this contains too little cocoa butter, it does not become fluid enough and is therefore only usable for a limited number of fillings. You can purchase it in shops as 'block chocolate".

Couverture
however, is the type of chocolate that is used when manufacturing
chocolates and sweets. It is available packaged in chocolate drops, chips or on 5 kg blocks, in different varieties and flavours.

The chocolate is melted in a heat chamber to a temperature of 50 degree Celsius, one day in advance. The melting can also be done in a bain-marie provided measures are taken to prevent the chocolate from getting too warm or coming in contact with water.

The chocolate has to be completely melted; in other words the chocolate must become entirely fluid; this usually occurs at +50degree C. The substance will then have turned "amorphous" and crystal-free. However, before the melted chocolate is ready to mould or enrobe with, it is necessary that a form of crystallizing or "tempering" takes place so that it will set in the proper fashion.

History of Brownies. Details click here

History of Brownies

The first known recipe for brownies was published in the 1897 Sears, Roebuck Catalog. The origin of the Brownie is thought to be American. It is classified as a bar cookie and is thought to derive its name from the brown color of the cookie. Folklore has its origin coming from a careless cook who forgot to put baking powder in the chocolate cake batter recipe. Since this time there are almost as many brownie recipes as there are cooks.

I have been passionate about brownies ever since I can remember.  I remember cooking them using my Easy Bake oven back in the 1960s, that used a light bulb for the heat source. I wasn't happy with the recipe back then, and started tinkering with it. My biggest source of dissatisfaction was that they were too cake like. Through the years I was always searching for the "perfect brownie". Times have changed and so have cooking methods and equipment. Quality ingredients are much more readily available.  I have always been disappointed with "Commercial Brownies". They almost always had some sort of preservative, or they used less expensive ingredients. I finally became fed up with this, so I decided to do something about it. I spent a great deal of time and money developing this recipe. The recipe uses quality ingredients, and a unique baking method that will put all other brownies to shame. We do not use preservatives, nor do we cut back on the ingredients to increase our profits.

We are always looking to make our brownies even better and continue to develop new recipes that will be unveiled soon. One thing that is certain -- when we do, it will be truly amazing!

Recipes from Baking bites

Generally, it’s not too much of a problem for me to come up with names for dishes. Oatmeal Raisin Carrot Cookies and Double Chocolate Pistachio Brownies, for instance, are simply named after the components in the recipes - fairly concise and very self-explanatory. This quick bread posed something of a challenge because it has a lot packed into it. It has sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, raisins and whole almonds, all mixed into a lightly sweetened batter. Every bite of the bread gives you something different in both texture and flavor.
The primary reason that I mixed so much into this loaf was that I was cleaning out my cupboard and collected several almost-empty bags of dried fruits and nuts. I was going to dump them into a big container of trail mix that I had sitting on the counter so I could clean up the cupboard a little, but decided that the mix was just enough to put to another use. So, everything went right into a simple quick bread.
The bread itself is on the plain side, sweetened with some sugar and a bit of ground ginger that adds the merest hint of a lemony flavor to the bread. Plain, sweet breads - especially those enhanced with dried fruits - always remind me of tea cakes and this is no exception. It’s simple and sturdy enough to stand up to a good toasting and a splash of butter for breakfast, but can easily stand in as a satisfying slice of cake with an afternoon tea or coffee. This would also be a great accompaniment to a cheese plate in place of crackers. The seeds give the bread a bit of texture and a lot of flavor, while the whole almonds I included add a great crunch and the fruits enhanced the overall sweetness (it’s surprisingly subtle on its own).
This is a great bread to use up the odds and ends of whatever you have in your cupboard. Walnuts, pecans, pinenuts and pistachios can be used in addition to, or in place of, almonds, sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds. Dried fruits can include raisins, cranberries, apricots, cherries, currants and blueberries, just to name a few.

Sweet and Nutty Tea Bread2 cups all purpose flour1 cup sugar2 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp ground ginger1 large egg3/4 cup milk3 tbsp vegetable oil1 tsp vanilla extract1 1/4 cups mixed seeds, nuts and dried fruits(I used raisins, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and almonds)
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and ginger.In a large measuring cup, whisk together egg, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour milk mixture into the large bowl. Stir until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Fold in combination of seeds, nuts and dried fruits (using any combination you like, or as described above) and pour mixture into prepared pan.Bake for 45-50 minutes, until loaf is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.Turn loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.Store in an airtight container when cool.
Makes 1 loaf.

History of chocolates

Hi friends ! Cocoa was first introduced into England during the seventeenth century. But the Aztecs in Central America had been drinking chocolate hundreds of years before the Spanish explorer Cortez conquered Mexico in 1519. They called it "CHOCOLATL".Cortez is said to have tasted his first drinking chocolate in a golden goblet in the palace of the Aztec Emperor, Montezuma. It must have been a rather bitter,pungent drink for the Spaniards improved the flavour by adding sugar and guarded the secret of its preparation for almost a century.
