Baking 101: Advice for Perfecting Your Cakes, Cookies, and Pastries

Hey there, baking enthusiasts!

Are you looking to take your baking game to the next level? Look no further than this comprehensive guide on how to perfect your cakes, cookies, and pastries!

First and foremost, one of the most important things you can do is to invest in quality ingredients. Using fresh, high-quality ingredients can make all the difference in the taste and texture of your baked goods. Additionally, make sure to measure your ingredients carefully to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Another important factor in successful baking is proper mixing techniques. Be sure to mix your ingredients thoroughly but don't overdo it as it could lead to tough baked goods. It's also important to not overwork your dough when rolling it out or shaping it, as this can cause your baked goods to become tough.

When it comes to cakes, it's important to preheat your oven to the correct temperature and bake your cake for the appropriate amount of time. A common mistake is overbaking your cake, which can cause it to dry out. Additionally, make sure to cool your cakes properly before icing or decorating them.

For cookies, pay attention to the texture of your dough. If it's too soft, add more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more liquid. When shaping your cookies, make sure they are all the same size to ensure even baking.

When making pastries, be sure to use cold butter and work quickly to keep the dough from getting too warm. Don't be afraid to use a little flour on your rolling pin and work surface to keep the dough from sticking.

Finally, don't forget about presentation! Decorating your baked goods can be just as fun as making them. Try out different techniques and don't be afraid to get creative.

So there you have it, folks! With these tips and tricks, you'll be well on your way to perfecting your cakes, cookies, and pastries. Happy baking!

🥥Coconut flour is a unique alternative to wheat flour. It’s popular among low carb enthusiasts and those who have gluten-related disorders. In addition to its impressive nutrition profile, coconut flour may offer several benefits when enjoyed as part of a healthy diet. Coconuts are first cracked open and drained of liquid. The coconut meat is then scraped out, rinsed, grated, and strained to separate the solids from the milk. The solids are then baked at a low temperature until dry before being ground into flour. The resulting white powder looks and feels similar to flour made from grains such as wheat. Its flavor is mild. . . . . . . #baking #bakingtime #recipes #flour #bakingday #bakingclass #coconutflour #bakingsoda #bakinglife #bakingbread #bakingtools #bakingwithkids #bakingblog #bakingcookies #bakingwithlove #bakinglover #BakingSupplies #bakingcakes #bakingtherapy #bakingisfun #bakingislife #bakingporn #bakingaddiction #bakingfromscratch #baking101 #bakingqueen #bakingmom #bakingaddict #bakingandpastry #bareorganicssuperfoods (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg2D87gr5Nh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My first ever banana bread, and it was AWESOME!

I was bored, hungry and have nothing else to do, so I thought of baking a banana bread. :D

You can try this on your own, it is perfectly easy to do. It's sweet, moisty, and flavourful! You can enjoy this plain bread, with chopped walnuts or you can even add choco chips. Perfect for dessert or should I say perfect for every meal!

So I just didn't make plain banana bread on my first try, but with chopped walnuts and dark choco chips! I never thought that it will taste so great! But I will still keep on baking this bread so I can experiment more!

Mashed the bananas.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Baking our first bread!

Yay! Finally got time to bake. Was only imagining making our own bread before. Watched a lot of baking vlogs wondering when I can do mine too.

Tadah! The day has come 😂 Was actually afraid of baking breads because I don’t really know how to deal with yeast or dough or kneading. But there’s always a first time for everything, right? So here it is! Our first ube cheese pandesal.

Dough:

1 cup warm milk

1 tbsp white sugar (to activate the yeast)

2 tsp yeast

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil (I used corn oil)

2 cups all purpose flour

1 cup bread flour

1 tsp vanilla essence

3 tsp ube flavoring (the more the merrier?😂)

2 tbsp ube jam (optional)

1/2 cup bread crumbs (just add if more if needed)

Filling:

Quickmelt cheese (regular cheese will do)

Ube jam

Steps:

1. On a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, 1 tbsp sugar, and yeast. Set aside for 5-10mins until the yeast is activated.

2. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add in the all purpose flour, bread flour, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar. Mix them well.

3. Check if the yeast is already activated so we can mix it with our dry ingredients.

Apparently, I was not able to mix well as seen here hahaha. But hey, the yeast was pretty much activated. Look at those tiny bubbles and foam.

4. Once your yeast is good to go, make a little crater at the center of your dry ingredients. Pour and mix in your milk/yeast mixture.

5. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla essence, ube flavoring, and ube jam. Mix well until the color is already well-combined and the texture is dough-like.

6. Dust your table/counter top with flour and transfer your dough for kneading. Didn’t use the electric mixer for kneading because I wanted to try kneading with my hands 😂 Experience points++

7. Knead the dough for about 10mins or until it’s smooth and not that sticky anymore. You can also do the window pane test wherein you get a portion of the dough and check if it stretches well. Continue kneading if your dough still breaks easily upon the test. After that, it’s now ready to rise!

8. Grease your bowl and dough with oil. Cover the bowl with a cloth or cling wrap. Let the dough rise for about 2hrs.

Got curious right here. Haha. So I kept on checking my rested dough from time to time, amazed with the rising that’s happening.

Finally, after two hours... (it actually has risen higher than this one. Just wasn’t able to document it 😅)

9. Gently give your dough weak punches to release the air

10. Dust the table with a bit of flour again and transfer your dough to the table.

11. Time for cutting! Roll your dough and cut into your desired partition. I cut mine into half first so it’s easier to manage. Partitioned it into six smaller chunks. Did the same for the other half.

12. Get a piece of chunk, flatten in and add in the cheese and ube jam for the filling.

Actually didn’t use a rolling pin, I just flattened it with my hands. Haha.

13. Seal the dough

14. Roll it to cover the flaps of the seal we made.

15. After you’ve finished adding the filling in all your chunks, roll them on the bread crumbs, and lay on a tray.

Haha. Please don’t mind the differences in sizes 😂 Was able to produce 13 instead of 12 because there was a piece we find too big and ended up splitting it. Also, it would be better if there are no cracks on the dough.

16. Cover with cloth and rest for another 30mins.

17. After 30mins... the dough should still expand a bit

18. Time to bake! Don’t forget to pre-heat your oven. Bake for 20mins at 180C

19. Time’s up!! Time to get our pandesals out of the oven!

Love the aroma of a freshly baked bread! Yum! Did you notice that the color is not that purple? Well, it’s because we didn’t add purple food color. We thought the ube flavoring is enough since the packaging said “ube flavor and color”. Hence, we didn’t buy additional food color. Hahaha! Anyway, the inside has a pale purple color nonetheless. Here it is, our first ever ube cheese pandesal. So proud and happy because it was a success!

I really love that it’s soft and chewy just like how I wanted it to be.

It’s so fun, fulfilling, and relaxing to bake your own bread! Also tests your patience because there’s a lot of waiting time when dealing with yeast.

But I’m already used to waiting, so who cares. Haha!😏

Coconut flour is a gluten-free flour alternative made by grinding dried coconut into a powder. It can be used to replace some of the wheat flour in a recipe, or it can be combined with other gluten-free flours to make a gluten-free flour blend. It has a soft, powdery texture and white color, as well as a distinct flavor and aroma of coconut. That means it might work in certain recipes where the flavor of coconut will be acceptable, but not in others. Also, when cooking with coconut flour, you can't expect it to behave in the same way as a conventional wheat flour, or even a gluten-free flour. That's because ordinary flours, whether they're made from wheat or some sort of gluten-free grain like rice, sorghum, or corn, are all primarily starch, so they absorb liquid like starch, gelatinize like starch, and bind with proteins such as eggs in more or less the same way. Coconut flour, on the other hand, is a starch-free food, though it does contain carbohydrates and fiber. Just because something isn't a starch doesn't mean it can't be used in baking. Low-starch nut flours, like almond flour, for instance, are often used in gluten-free baking, sometimes up to 50 percent of a recipe. Coconut flour, on the other hand, is best limited to about 25 percent of a recipe's total flour. That's mostly because of how much liquid it absorbs. When cereal grains absorb water, the starches gelatinize, but when coconut flour absorbs water, it simply turns soggy. That liquid is eventually cooked away, but because it soaks up so much liquid, it essentially deprives the other starches in the recipe from absorbing their fair share, so the overall recipe turns out denser and heavier than you might like. #baking #bakingtime #bakingvideo #bakinglove #bakingday #bakingclass #bakingfun #bakingsoda #bakinglife #bakingbread #bakingtools #bakingwithkids #bakingblog #bakingcookies #bakingwithlove #bakinglover #BakingSupplies #bakingcakes #bakingtherapy #bakingisfun #bakingislife #bakingporn #bakingaddiction #bakingfromscratch #baking101 #bakingqueen #bakingmom #bakingaddict #bakingandpastry #bareorganicssuperfoods (at Solana Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeolnF1pgtj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Soft, chewy and gooey Cookies! I really loooooove cookies, so I decided to bake and try different types and recipes of cookies! Based on what I’ve tried, I’ve come up with these 2 super delicious recipes. First is the soft and chewy cookies! So if you’re a fan of mrs. fields cookies or chips ahoy chewy, you better try this recipe! Second recipe is the giant gooey cookies which is inpired by Levain cookies! You must try this on your own as well, it’s super duper delicious!
