Baking is a cooking method that uses dry heat to cook food in an
enclosed space, usually an oven.
The heat causes the starches in the food to change, resulting in a
browned exterior and a soft interior.
Baking is one of the oldest cooking methods and is a culinary art form
that is deeply ingrained in many cultures.
Baked goods like bread, cookies, pies, and muffins are typically made
from flour or meal derived from grains.
