JB-47, Just Bakery
Halfway There!
Apr
JB 47 is wrapping up Week 6 of JB!
This week we covered a lot in Nutrition. We looked at adapting recipes to increase nutrient levels in food. Nutrients can be affected not only in preparation, but also in how we store them. Fruit releases ethylene gas which can cause them
to over-ripen but we can also use that knowledge when we have fruit that needs to ripen: put it in a closed paper bag and it will ripen up faster!
We also talked about allergens more in depth and how to work with customers who have allergies, as well as creating an allergy program within a restaurant.
We previously discussed allergens in ServSafe, so it was a nice review. This week in ServSafe we discussed cleaning and sanitizing, and how to control pests within the operation.
In the kitchen we continued the muffin method and made Blueberry Muffins!
We tried out a new product which will be available for sale starting next week: Oreo Cheesecake Bars! Very excited about this new offering, and we hope you are too! Orders reopen on Sunday here!
If you or someone you know are interested in joining Just Bakery, join us April 20 for our Information Session!

The mission of JustDane has always been to inspire hope and create change at the individual level and community level. JustDane would not be where it is today without the wonderful people who participate in, and give life to, its programs. Tyrees Scott is one of these people. He is the embodiment of hope, change, and perseverance. Born in Chicago and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, Tyrees dealt with struggles while growing up, and as a young man he was incarcerated. Despite tribulations after his release from prison, Tyrees decided it was time to change his life around. He made a promise to himself that he would not end up incarcerated again, and he has lived up to exactly that.
