Baking is science and nobody can argue against that. Everything has to be measured correctly and there seem to be so many factors to keep track of. But if you want to try baking or you plan to keep going, here are some tips that can help you fill numerous baking racks with tasty-looking and mouthwatering baked goodies.
Tip #1. Never ever skip reading the recipe
The very first phase you should do is to read the recipe and make sure that you understand everything and what each step requires before you begin baking. it’s also crucial that you don’t miss any step calling for a specific temperature or measurement. Getting all your ducks in a row before you begin baking will prevent you from ending with a disaster. It means you won’t get stuck with hard butter when it is supposed to be softened. Otherwise, you have to start all over again and it will be time-consuming and costly if you are doing it for business.
Tip #2. Know your baking equipment
Sure, ovens follow the same principle of heating and baking things up. However, they are also like snowflakes. Each type of oven is unique and brings different effects to your baked products. Unlike baking racks that are so simple and humble in their cooling function, ovens can do some bad tricks on your goodies. They can distribute heat unevenly or their temperature gauge can sometimes lie. So, ensure that you know how to work around with the specific oven you’ve got for baking.
Tip #3. Don’t ignore the description of ingredients
Most often the cause of baking failure lies in not following exactly what the recipe calls for an ingredient. Take for example the case of egg white vs. egg yolk. Egg whites are needed to whip up a mixture into a foam or to lighten and aerate the batter. Conversely, egg yolks are used to provide thickness and richness to the texture of baked goods. They also stabilize a mixture of two different liquids to create a smooth, rich, and creamy custards that look so yummy while sitting on baking racks and waiting to be tasted.
