Baking is a science that demands perfection and precision. Aside from equipping your bakery with standard baking racks and other supplies, you also have to have a good collection of recipes and follow them. Unlike cooking a roasted chicken dish, there are rules that you can’t break when it comes to baking. Here are the three of them that can make your baking a lot better.
Baking Rule #1. Always use the right temperature
You should never ignore the instruction on a recipe when it calls for a specific temperature for an ingredient or set of ingredients. Plenty of baked goods require room temperature for milk, eggs, and butter. So, if you have these items stored in your fridge for some time, you can leave them on the bakery trays first to achieve the right temperature. You really have to be patient when it comes to baking. Otherwise, all your efforts will come to waste if you get stubborn.
Baking Rule #2.
Whenever a recipe asks for a greased or floured vessel, it has a purpose. It might be to prevent either the batter or dough to bake on and adhere to a sheet, so follow the rule by thoroughly buttering the bakery trays or pans. The same works when it comes to flouring, have more than enough, coat fully, and tap out any excess. Make sure that no part of the vessel is exposed to avoid sticking.
Rule #3. Buy only high-quality bakeware
You most likely have heard enough about investing in the best bakeware. It is so for very good reasons. For one, flimsy bakery trays and pans are not able to provide the right amount of heat conduction, making your pie, cake, pastries, and cookies to cook unevenly. The same applies to the mixing bowls, measuring items, whisks, and other baking tools. Finally, opt to choose a good alternative to nonstick coatings such as parchment paper to avoid foreign matters destroying the taste of your baked products.
