-- When baking, "browning" the baked goods creates an extra layer of crispy flavour.

-- The artificial sweeteners commonly used in baking (saccharin, cyclamate and Aspartame) were discovered accidentally - when food scientists forgot to wash their hands.

-- Yeast, which is used in baking, is a tiny, live fungus.

-- Salt is used in baking to stop the baked good from going dry or stale too quickly. It also makes sure the yeast doesn't grow out of control.

-- Fats used in baking, such as butter, margarine or oil makes the dough soft and light, which increases the size of the baked goods, hence allowing you to bake more or bigger portions.
