A baker attempted to create eggless choux pastry using vegan egg white protein, powdered lecithin, and aquafaba, but was unsuccessful in achieving proper puffing. The resulting batter looked promising, but the baked goods did not inflate. The baker hypothesizes that the failure is due to the absence of a range of proteins that set at different temperatures, which are present in real eggs and help form a flexible crust to capture steam. Potential solutions explored include using potato protein isolates or methylcellulose. AI
