How to bake
Here are a few tips for your first day. Remember to always wash up before beginning any baking project. Clean hands ensure that you are not getting anything unhealthy into your baked goods. It is important when baking to be able to read the ingredients and instructions, and I don’t just mean being able to read the words but also understanding the symbols for measurements and what the ingredients are in your recipe. For instance learning how much 1 cup measures or knowing that Tbsp means tablespoon. Part of a baking class will be teaching you these basic instructions. As well as knowing what an ingredient like ginger or vanilla is so that you get the right ingredients into your recipe. It's also important to know that baking requires precise measurements. If it says 1lb, or pound of Crisco then that is what it means. You have to ensure that each ingredient in the recipe is measured correctly or your baked goods may not turn out right. You will need to learn what kneading is and what the difference between mixing and pureeing is or you won’t get the right consistency of the recipe for baking. Baking is really an art, and a baking class will teach you all these essentials to ensure that whatever you bake is great.
