Baking is a method of preparing food that uses dry heat, typically in an oven
Baking 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. As heat travels through, it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods and more with a firm dry crust and a softer center".

    What influenced you to get into baking?

    The year was around April, 1968 for me. I was 17 & I was reading a cookbook. Forgot the name of it, but the pictures of the finished baked products were in black & white. It was homemade yeast bread. At the time, I wanted to try it just to see how it would work. I made 2 loaf pans for plain...

    The Dutch food thread, because Dutch food isn't so bad as its reputation.

    So I decided to make a thread about Dutch food, because internationally there are so many misconceptions about it. Supposedly our food is bland, repetitive and uninteresting. Talking about Dutch food usually conjures up images of cheese, potatoes, sad vegetables and mashed potatoes. Maybe if...

    non-baking recipes. do you measure ingredients?

    short of baking, I dont. I just kinda dump and go. I find unless you really ventured off the original recipe, the final product isn't affected that much. I'm about to try to make my own HongKong style XO sauce and I might measure what I use, and take notes just incase I nail it on the first...

    Adding water during bread baking

    Adding water to preheated vessel during baking bread helps create steam to make for a more crispy crust, does that work all the time? My Sourdough needs a more crispy crust and that is the only thing I know that helps. When it's cooled, it's more "leathery" and I want it to, if anything get...

    Condition of pots and pans

    I was recently reading a Serious Eats/Food Lab post, and in the series of pics that Kenji Lopez Alt included was a black baking rack. In the comments, someone chided him over using a coated baking rack, saying that the coating invariably flakes off and into the food. KLA humorously pointed...
