Baking is a skill that takes a certain order,
measurement, mixing process, and waiting in hope that the ingredients
come together to make a tasty solution! It can be messy and time
consuming, however the end result is worth it. Once baked, you'll either
know if you need to make changes to your recipe or that the process was
perfection!
To bake is a method of preparing food that uses dry
heat, typically in an oven, but can also be done in hot ashes, or on hot
stones. The most common baked item is bread but many other types of
foods are baked. Heat is gradually transferred from the surface of
cakes, cookies, and breads to their center.
Any system can function only if all it's parts do their job. The same
principle applies to baking. Like with everything else, practice makes
perfect. Most people follow a recipe when baking. As they get familiar
with it, they tweak it to get better and better results. But to decide
what to tweak, you need to first understand
the science of baking!
You can become an at-home or world-class baker with patience and a good
whisk! Everyone starts somewhere, so why not now?
