baking
my favorite thing to do!
Baking is a skill or way of cooking food in an oven. Sometimes, though,
baking can also be done in hot ashes, or hot stones. It is used for
making bread, cakes, pastries, pies, tarts, cookies, and much more. Such
foods made by baking are called "baked goods". The ingredients used in
baking include flour, water, leavening agents (baker's yeast, baking
soda, baking powder), shortening (fats, oils), eggs, milk, and sugars.
These are all mixed together to create dough or batter, which is then
put into a pan or a sheet and heated. Leavening agents produce gas that
becomes trapped in the dough. This makes it rise. Shortening makes
doughs more easily workable and the bread that comes out in the end more
soft and tender. Egg whites are used to help make a light, airy texture
