Unit 1 covers Safety and Sanitation — the essential foundation of every baking and pastry program.

Fully ready to implement at no cost.

Most culinary resources are collections of recipes or individual lesson plans with no sequence, no standards alignment, and no complete instructional package. The Baking and Pastry Curriculum is a structured, three-level framework with every component already built — aligned to ServSafe, ACF, and RBA standards. It was designed specifically for baking and pastry education, not adapted from a general culinary arts template.
