I talked to my friends the other day about my future career planning. Originally, people who are used to the Internet like us always feel at a loss when they think of going to industry. Everyone has several ideals after retirement. For example, if you open a small restaurant, your life is very busy; For example, if you open a small bookstore with emotional appeal, you can enjoy yourself. Or open a flower shop and enjoy the flowers every day. I have two ideas: first, I want to be a flower farmer. Whenever I think that those flowers grow slowly under my management and eventually produce beautiful flowers, I am happy from the heart. Secondly, I want to be a baker. There is a reason for this, because every time I go to the cake shop to buy dessert, I feel so beautiful. And watching those cupcakes slowly take shape under the hands of those masters will feel incredible. I have a strong interest in it and want to make a cake like them for my family to eat, which will be very fulfilling, hehe. On the other hand, my family has only one acre and three points, and it is still a question whether my father will lend me the land for tossing. I didn't learn baking either. Although I read a lot of books about it because I was fascinated, theory is greater than practice, and I still don't know how to start.
Learning baking, I think that's how I started ...
Although I haven't had a chance to practice, I haven't said how many books I have read before. There is a saying that success is always reserved for those who are prepared. Even if you can't start right away, it is still possible to imagine and plan well. These are all summed up by me from the growth experience of those baking experts. Please listen to me slowly ... 1. How can you learn to bake without tools? How to choose baking tools
Buying tools is also a headache for students who have just started learning baking. They always think there will be a lot of things to buy. Some students will find that many things are not needed after they are bought, which not only wastes a lot of money, but also makes the kitchen look like a baking tool market, which is actually unnecessary. Jun Zhi, an online baking expert, once said: For tools, it is better to lack them than to abuse them. Buy them on demand. Baking is a pleasure. Making delicious snacks with simple tools is more fulfilling.
I think the first idea of baking is to buy an oven. So from now on, you can imagine with me that we have an oven, but we don't have a baking tray, a baking net and a heat preservation handle. We can't bake in the oven without this. It is also necessary to measure spoons and kitchen scales (electronic scales), because you know that baking according to recipes is very strict in weight, and a slight difference may affect the taste of the whole snack. So it is also necessary. Dairy products and eggs are two essential materials in baking, and it is absolutely impossible without an eggbeater. Other things we need to prepare: rubber scraper, plastic scraper, stainless steel basin, glass bowl, chopping board, rolling pin, tin foil, oiled paper, flour sieve, cake round mold, etc. Please click on "Baking Essential Tools" to see their specific "appearance" and functions. If you want to know more about the selection and use of other tools, you can also click on "Alternative Tools for Baking". Please click on the link of "oven selection and use guide", so I won't go into details here. Finally, to reiterate: there are many kinds, which can be purchased on demand! 2. Start with the simplest snacks that can be used to practice your hands.
After purchasing the basic tools, we will choose several snacks suitable for beginners to practice our hands. In fact, there are many such snacks, such as Margaret biscuits, brownies, cookies, Portuguese egg tarts (sold in pastry supermarkets), almond cakes and so on. The following are some snacks I collected to practice my hands, and I hereby submit them. You can try the experiment first. Margaret cookies brownie butter cookies grape tart almond cookies candy cookies 3. Suggestions for newcomers to learn baking 1. Choose better tools than lack them, and buy them on demand. 2, baking newcomers do not change the formula. 3. Regarding the baking time, please adjust it reasonably according to your own oven due to different ovens. 4. Baking was not built in a day, and minor faults are excusable, and it takes a long time to hone. Don't lose heart because of a temporary failure. Baking as a pleasure is easier to succeed than as a task. You know, what you make with your heart will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Finally, I wish you success!
