Test recipe project FSHN 340

Test one:
I first noticed something was wrong with the recipe when our ingredient bag contained baking
powder but never instructed us to use it within the recipe. I then messed up and just added all
the ingredients into one bowl instead on separating wet from dry and folding it like the recipe
called for. I noticed that the mixture was very wet and already started predicting that this bread
was not going to cook all the way through. After baking for 30 mins, I poked the bread with a
toothpick, and it was still raw. I then put it in for an extra 15 mins and it still was raw. Also, the
directions were a little unclear on how to prep the batter. More direction would have helped.

Test two:
I decided to make the following changes
 Cut down the amount of banana to just 1
 Add the baking powder (1/4 tsp)
  Crank up the oven temperature to 350 and bake for 5 extra minutes
 Fold in the dry mixture to the wet

When I made these changes the banana bread tasted great and passed the toothpick test while
still remaining moist.

Delicious Vegan Banana Bread- Standardized Recipe

Recipe category: Grains/Breads

Serving size: ¼ loaf of bread
Recipe yield: 12 loafs of bread
Equipment and tools: 2 mixing bowls, whisk, spatula, bread pan
Cooking time and temperature: 350 degrees F for 35mins
Ingredients:
12 ripe medium (7”) bananas (50 oz)
3 cups unsweetened apple sauce (25.92 oz)
3 tsp salt (1.90 oz)
2 ¼ cups cane sugar (15.87 oz)
4 Tbsp cinnamon (1.10 oz)
4 Tbsp baking soda (2 oz)
12 cups all-purpose flour (51 oz)
4 Tbsp baking powder (2 oz)
4 Tbsp vanilla extract (1.84 oz)

Preparation Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.

2. In a medium sized bowl, mash ripened bananas with a fork.

3. Add apple sauce and vanilla to bowl, stir to combine and form a wet mixture.
 4. Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a separate bowl and whisk
together.

5. Fold the dry mixture with a spatula or spoon into the wet mixture until combined,
forming a batter. Do not over-mix.

6. Spray the pan with non-stick spray

7. Bake for 35 minutes. A fully baked loaf should be able to pass the toothpick test (until
you can insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf and remove the toothpick without
any batter stuck to the toothpick).

Evaluation:

This project was very interesting to me because I have never thought of the process of creating
a recipe. The hardest part for me was finding out what to change in order to fix the recipe.
Realizing it was too wet and cutting down the banana amount while turning up the
temperature was what made the biggest difference. The final product wasn’t perfect but was
still a tasty banana bread recipe. To standardize the recipe, I multiplied each ingredient by 12.
Although this recipe meets the requirements of a standardized recipe, I think it needs to be
tested a couple of more times to work out any additional kinks. I do think this recipe would be a
good addition to the café because it is unlike any menu item we currently have and is vegan so
anyone could have it. I definitely think that the café needs to keep up to date on trendier items
to be competitive. All successful restaurants have eye catching menu items that bring new
customers through the door while keeping their reoccurring customers excited.
