The truth is, as any good baker will tell you, for the best baking, it's just being good at what you do, and there are a few simple rules.
So, here’s my “secret” recipe for trouble-free baking.
Baking without recipes is not a thing, no matter what that best friend who “bakes without recipes” says. Correct measures and clear directions are important for successful baking.
Here’s the reason why.
For any mouthwatering dish to be just right in the end, it needs a perfect road map to get there. And following the measurements and directions to the letter is all part of it.
So, find a recipe you can trust and work with it until you’re perfect at it. After you've done this, you can tweak it to suit your taste.
Nothing can beat the flavor that quality ingredients and freshly picked produce bring to a favorite dish.
They may cost a little bit more, but you know you’re getting value in flavor and shelf-life.
Ingredients that stay on the shelf longer lose flavor over time and are usually sold at cheaper prices. However, get your produce, spices, and herbs as soon as they come into the market, or grow them yourself and pick what you need for the day, you can’t substitute the delicious aroma and mouthwatering flavor they bring to the table.
You may say “Most of us don’t have the time to go to culinary school, I just want to bake for myself and my family” and that’s true but being skilled isn’t only a diploma.
So don’t be in a hurry to throw away Gran's old cookbook. It’s where you’ll learn all the little techniques and tips that we don’t have time to talk about in this article.
When you learn different skills your love for the time you spend baking will grow and that doesn’t have to be hours, just minutes is often all it takes. You’ll find satisfaction in the taste of something delicious.
You can never rush a masterpiece.
When prepping for a dish the most time-consuming thing is measuring, gathering, and preparing the ingredients and it’s tempting to skip what can seem unnecessary.
For example: In my experience sieving the flour once instead of twice (required) meant heavy dough and uneven rising (and starting the recipe all over again).
So, take the time to prepare properly before you start the method; it could be the difference between a good bake and a disastrous one.
Practice always makes perfect whatever you do, and it’s a big part of enjoying something really delicious. What makes a good baker is all of the above-mentioned steps done over and over and over again.
I will share with you two tips that I learned through experience...
Tip 1. Always practice a new recipe a few times before you have others taste it.
Tip 2. Always practice a recipe you have tweaked before you serve it up at an event.
There’s no extraordinary secret! No big reveal.
The difference between a really delicious recipe and a disastrous throwaway is the willingness to go the extra mile and follow your recipe.
Your recipe begins with the line that reads “ingredients: serves 4” and works through every line, in step, after that.
Now, for that BFF who says she bakes “without recipes”; here’s a real secret… she really means she has her recipe (that she’s worked on over and over) in her head and written down and she’s not happy about handing it over to you.
It's been a pleasure sharing my 5 tips for the perfect bake with you. leave a comment below to let me know what your secrets are... are they the same as mine?
Happy Baking Everyone!!!!
