Breakfast Pastries & Important Points In The Culinary Arts

By Katie Onson


If you're going to start the day off, you're going to want to start it off with the ideal breakfast. Many people cannot go on without the right coffee or even a set of cooked eggs. For others, it's a matter of breakfast pastries, and you can be certain that there are quite a few to choose from. Those who would like to expand their knowledge in the culinary arts should know that there are various options, each of them with their own appealing traits to consider.

I believe the first thing to note about breakfast pastries is that they shouldn't be too sweet. Keep in mind that many people, especially during the mornings, cannot handle too much sweetness, as this will throw off their overall palates. Just enough sweetness will do, which is an idea that can be draw to the preparation of breakfast pastries as well. To better understand what these pastries may entail, here are a few of the major groups to consider.

Sweet rolls, to kick things off, are great breakfast pastries for just about any palate. Plain sweet rolls are great but they can be made even more unique if different ingredients are baked into them. Bits of chocolate may be used but fruit like raspberry can work just as well. In fact, if you want to appeal to any and all tastes, you may want to play around with sweet rolls and see the best results that can be served on the table.

Another great choice for culinary students to know is sticky buns. For those who do not know, these are made from a few essential ingredients, amongst them being brown sugar and honey, the latter being the ingredient that helps to give these pastries their "sticky" exterior. However, you have to know that other options may be used in place of this. Maple syrup may be a less common example but it's worth noting for those who'd like to expand their culinary horizons.

To cap things off, let's look at cinnamon rolls, which are unique from sweet rolls in the ingredients used. Suffice it to say, there is a heavy degree of emphasis on cinnamon, though many chefs find themselves using icing to decorate these breakfast pastries further. It's also worth noting the importance of honey, as many chefs use these to help give cinnamon buns more of a shine. Regardless, they are worth noting, whether you are learning about the pastry arts or not.
