Cooking in a design school is very out the blue. Why are we cooking? How is it even reated to design? Why do we have to select only food items made out of just dough?
These are the questions which i am pretty sure every foundation year student has 😅
I picked garlic bread...omg my fav!!!! And not only me everyone elses favourite too😋
This is the first time Iam actually maling garlic bread out of a dough...a bit scared yet excited!

2.) FLOUR DOUGH
STEP 1: Add 1 cup wheat flour , 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1tablespoon yeast/baking powder

first impressions

I had so much fun making garlic bread out of dough and everyone liked it too !)
JUST DOUGH IT WITH DONUTS
DAY 2
A donuts is a type of fried dough food. the donut is a popular dessert in many countries and can be prepared in many shapes and sizes. It can be consumed in breakfast. snack or dessert.
I chose donut because it was the first food item which came in my mind after knowing that we have to choose dough based food item.
From chocolate to vanilla to will find a wide range of flavours.
HOW TO PREPARE A DOUGH
Step 1 : ADD 1 TABLESPOON OF WHITE VINEGAR IN HALF CUP OF MILK FOR 5 MINUTES
now because i added vinegar in one cup milk i had to face some struggles later with dough.😬
Step 2: add 1.5 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, a pinch of salt , half teaspoon cinnemon powder and mix the ingredients.
Step 3: add milk, butter and 1 tablespoon yogurt
Because I'd put one cup milk , my dough became very sticky and liquidy ( STRUGGLE )
NEXT I DIVIDED THE DOUGH AND PUT SOME MORE FLOUR AND ADDED THE ABOVE INGREDIENTS AGAIN
Step 4: Roll out the dough and cut into various shapes.
STEP 6: Fry in oil
omgggg it looks like puri and vada !!!!!!!!!!
STEP 7: Decorate donuts using gems, melted dairy milk, crushed almonds, whipped cream, powdered sugar, cinnemon powder
For chocolate part i melted dairy milk with some olive oil
AND VOILA !!!
FIRST THOUGHTS AFTER EATING DONUTS:
1) balanced sugar
2) hard donut because of storing in freezer
3) whipped cream donuts are bit souggy
4) almonds going well with the chocolate
STRUGGLES
i had to remake the dough because of putting excess quantity of milk
ACHIEVEMENT
I divided my dough and added more flour and was able to correct my dough.
i made different shapes and different toppings to create variations in donuts.
DAY 3
On day 3 we had to make variations, play with ingredients and create a different food item.
so i had some left over dough so step 1 was o cut them in different shapes and this time i did not fry the donuts , i baked them !!!
They look and tasted like mathi !!!!!!!!!!
Step 2: Decorate the donuts with hersheys chocolate nutella, honey, gems and coffee
MIND MAP
Baked donuts actually tasted alot better than fried donuts, the combination of chocolate and honey with mathi was really good !!!!
ACHIEVEMENTS
1) I created a new dish with actually tured out soooo good , looking wise and taste wise
2) The whole process took 30 minutes maximum.
DAY 4
NAME OF MY DESERT : Crunchy bites
On day4 I combined the fried donuts with baked donuts. This process was actually fun.
2 baked donuts
4 fried donuts
VARIATION 1: Whipped cream donuts.
I added 2 layers of whipped cream on donuts.
First layer consist of fried donut and whipped cream,
second layer consist of baked donut and whipped cream
VARIATION 2: Whipped cream and chocolate donuts.
Layer one chocolate , layer two whipped cream
The crunch went perfect and was balanced with the fried donuts
My parents really loved the idea of baked donuts.
ACHIEVEMENTS
1) I learnt how to make whipped cream, on day 3 i used it in a raw state 😬
2) Discovered new dish by experimenting.
STRUGGLE
I extra fried 2 donuts !
FINAL DAY
For my final day dish i made 6 flavours of donuts
Toppings : gems, powdered sugar, almonds and cashwes , cinnemon, whipped cream, choco nutella , dairy milk.
PLATING
MIND MAP
Cooking in a design field is something very out of the blue, but i was fascinated by the topic JUST DOUGH IT !but then another question arises why only dough ?? why not batter or something else! I chose donuts and this activity taught me so much.
1) Patience:Â At the beginning of the activity i completely ruined my dough , i mixed alot milk with the flour which resulted into a batter. It look alot of time and patience to convert it into a dough !!!
2) Got to know that i can make difficult dishes too!!!!! i swear making donuts was not at all easy especially the base part,Â
3) corrected my mistakes in second attemp, sometimes giving things a second chance is a good thought!
4) Made two dishes out of one , after baking a donut it turned out to be a mathi which actually surprised me and it tastes sooo good with chocolate toppings
5) I also learnt to be original , always copying won't help. Sometimes we gotta use our brain and create something different and unique
6) Each element has its own role to play we can't always replace it with other elementÂ
7) The plating part was very interesting, i did't think much just sprinkled some chopped almonds and cinnemon powder on the plate and it was all set to go !!!
