Baking knowledge is a must for beginners. Baked foods are baked and processed grains. This kind of food is very popular with people, so many people also want to bake some food in their own homes. The following is a necessary baking knowledge sharing for beginners.

1 the basic knowledge of baking beginners includes the skills of using various baking tools, the handling skills of various baking materials, and the learning of simple baking skills.

For baking beginners, we should first buy basic baking tools, including oven, food scale, measuring cup, measuring spoon, electric egg beater, eggbeater, silicone scraper, flour sieve, rolling pin, tin foil and silicone brush.

These tools are enough to make basic bread, biscuits and Qifeng cakes. If you want to learn to make cakes, you need to buy paper bags, paper nozzles and shovels with butter.

After the tools are bought, learn according to the self-contained instructions of various tools, especially the oven, which needs to be understood and used through the tutorial that comes with the oven.

Because the specific process of different baked foods is different, before learning a baking skill, we should do a good job of cleaning and disinfecting related tools, and then prepare and treat the basic ingredients. These are the foundations of baking. Don't worry, accumulate a little and learn slowly.

The processing skills of various ingredients reflect the level of a baker. For beginners, we should start with the basic work of mixing noodles, mixing noodles and beating eggs to lay a good foundation for the future. It is suggested that beginners learn to cook bread, biscuits and other easy-to-use foods first, which has a high success rate and is conducive to improving their self-confidence in learning baking.

Then there is the simple cake making, which is divided into two parts. First, the cake blank should be baked in the oven (generally novices suggest making Qifeng cake blank). Second, you should learn to decorate the cake blank with cream, so the practice of cake is more complicated than bread. It is suggested to bake the cake after a certain baking foundation, so the success rate will be higher.

Why do you want to learn baking?

Baking is an art because it allows you to give full play to your imagination and creativity. Baking is a happy thing. Looking at every kind of food from beginning to end is like a magician doing magic, full of miracles and imagination.

Baking is a taste.

In an era when everyone is eager for quick success, we stop for a short time and run wildly on the road, as if we can skip a few steps and reach the finish line quickly. This is called success. As everyone knows, just like dull and silent food, the process of skipping in the middle is finally reflected in the tiny taste of the result. The delicious food made by heart and time is edible. The happy expression on the other person's face at the entrance is the fruit of long-term efforts of ingredients.

Baking is a style.

I hope that one day when baking, I will keep it in mind, shape it slowly with my thumb, watch its wonderful cracks bloom, put it in the oven, and wait for it to change color and mature in the dense aroma and heat, and become gentle and affectionate love. Then, wait for that person to go home and share.

Baking is a life attitude.

Good baking needs a heart that can slow down. Every dough needs to wait quietly for fermentation, waiting for formation, and then slowly baking. Every step is in a hurry, just like life, there are things you have to do at every stage. Don't worry, don't worry, enjoy the fragrance quietly all the way, and you will gain a wonderful life.

How to tell when a baked cake is ripe?

(1) Look at the color and the degree of swelling.

Generally speaking, the cake will swell to a certain extent after it matures, and then fall back a little. At this point, the cake has been basically finalized; Look at the color again. The uniform color indicates that the cake may be ripe.

(2) poke the hole to see if there is mucus.

You can poke a toothpick or bamboo stick into the cake and take it out to see if there is any mucus. When the cake is cooked, it won't get sticky, otherwise it's not cooked.

(3) Click to listen to the echo

Tap the cake quickly with your hands. If it rustles, it means that the cake is not fully cooked.

④ Press gently to see the elasticity.

Gently press the crust with your fingers to see if the pressed part will rebound soon. If it is, it means that the cake is ripe and elastic. If the rebound is slow, it will take a while.
