What is the difference between baking flour and baking powder, and how do they each contribute to the success of a baking recipe?
Baking flour is a basic ingredient made from ground wheat used to provide structure and texture in baked goods. Baking powder is a leavening agent that helps baked goods rise by releasing carbon dioxide gas when mixed with liquid and heat. Baking flour provides the structure, while baking powder helps the baked goods rise and become light and fluffy. Both are essential for the success of a baking recipe.
