Basic knowledge of baking 1 1, sieving without flour.

Sieving can remove the caking in flour, ensure that your cake will not dry and caking, and at the same time, sieving can increase the air in the cake and make the cake more bulky.

2. The batter is not stirred evenly.

Uneven mixing of raw materials, especially raw materials with different colors, will cause eddies with different colors on the cake surface. But don't stir too much, too much air will be stirred into the batter, which will cause the cake to collapse. The skill of stirring is also very important. Stir and cut, so that the product will look good!

3. Bake mold powder or brush oil.

Brushing oil on the mold can make you demould very smoothly. Regardless of the consequences of brushing oil, it is estimated that it will drive you crazy! Of course, if some products do not need to be oiled or powdered, you can also choose the use method according to the product description.

4. Improper selection of baking mould.

When choosing a mold, you must choose it according to your own formula. Never use an 8-inch cake baking tray with 9-inch cake batter, which will easily overflow or form a huge mountain peak in the middle of the cake. If the mold is too small, you can put a few more and bake cupcakes with the remaining batter. If the mold is too big, remember to reduce the baking time appropriately.

If you want to bake a particularly soft cake, you'd better use a piece of oiled paper, which is more convenient when you take the product.

Baking, also known as barbecue and baking, is the process of putting the prepared food blank into the oven for high temperature baking, dehydration, drying and hardening. Compared with other daily pasta, such as steamed bread, the only difference is that steamed bread is cooked with steam, while the food in baking is cooked in the oven, which is why many people say that bread, cakes, biscuits and so on are easy to get angry.

Flour is the most basic, because basically most baking is inseparable from it, and it is also the main raw material. Flour is mainly wheat flour, which is mainly divided into low gluten flour, medium gluten flour and high gluten flour, and is classified according to the content of protein.

① Low-gluten flour: The content of protein is below 8.5%, that is to say, the flour with the lowest gluten is easy to form dough by hand, and is generally used to make crisp foods, such as biscuits, muffins, peach cakes and other Chinese cakes.

② Medium gluten flour: protein content is between 9.5~ 12.0%, and gluten is moderate. Like ordinary flour used in our daily life, this kind of medium-gluten flour can be said to be the most widely used flour, such as steamed buns, steamed buns, dumpling skins, noodles and so on.

③ High-gluten flour: The content of protein is about 12.5% or more, which has strong activity, is not easy to agglomerate by hand and has strong gluten, so it is usually used to make bread and toast. For example, the drawing effect in bread is related to this high-gluten texture.

2. Oil

There are too many kinds of oil, which can be basically divided into two categories: animal oil and vegetable oil. Among these two kinds of oils, there are too many kinds of oils, such as cream and butter. In particular, this kind of butter is divided into salt-added and salt-free, and butter is also the most commonly used oil in baking.
