What is the minor baking ingredients in baking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Almost all baking needs the following components:

  • - A framework agent (often gluten) such as flour
  • - A leavening agent to add air bubbles to the framework and make the product rise such as yeast, baking powder, or whipped egg whites
  • - A fat to help framework stretch or be spongy such as butter, oils or egg yolks
  • - A liquid to develop the gluten, add moistness and give the leavening agent a medium to work such as water or milk
  • - A protein to help solidify the framework around the air bubble created by the leavening agent such as egg whites

Adding sugar can help brown the product and salt can help control the growth of the yeast. But they are not critical in all baking.

It depends exactly what you are cooking so mixing these in different proportions will give you different doughs from pizza dough to angel food cake.

It depends on the crop each year. Pecans have cycles of growth and if you get an off year, the price goes up. It is not unusual to pay as much as nine dollars a pound for shelled pecans. In the boom year, they generally run about six dollars a pound.

How many tablespoons in 115g?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This question cannot be answered sensibly. A millilitre is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A gram is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information. It takes only a little mental effort to compare a ml of air and a ml of lead and come to the conclusion that the two will have very different masses.

How long does it take to bake sweet potato bake casserole in a 3 quart casserole?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You don't. They are already cooked in that can before it is sold on the shelf. You are supposed to heat them up.

You can, however, heat them up in an oven. Though, it is not the same as if you were to bake the potato yourself.

Can you use superfine sugar instead of regular in baking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes because superfine sugar is regular granulated sugar it's just been ground into finer crystals so it can be dissolved easier in many light recipes where you would not want the grainy texture of regular sugar, like in merinques and angel food cake. You can use superfine sugar in any recipe and be successful, it's when you try to substitute regular granulated sugar when it calls for superfine that you run into trouble because it will be too grainy or possibly lumpy. You could always make your own version of superfine sugar by putting regular granulated sugar into a food processor and chopping it up for a minute or two and it would be simliar to store bought superfine sugar.

Can you substitute sea salt for salt in baking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but the measurement may be different. If it is "fine-grain" sea salt, then you can measure it the same as ordinary granular salt. If it is flaky or coarse-textured salt, like kosher salt, you may need to use more, if you are measuring by volume (3/4 tsp rather than 1/2 tsp., for instance).

How many calories in a gingerbread man?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends how big the gingerbread man is.

That is true, but if you really must know depending on the size and how much icing or so on was on it, 125-200 calories. A normal sized, average I mean, is probably closer to 125. Ginger is very healthy for you though, so if it was a real gingerbread man and not a mass produced cookie then it's actually one of the healthier desserts you could have.

What is the difference between unprocessed bran and wheat bran?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Processed bran is unprocessed bran that has been subject to a short cooking process known as extrusion by which the bran is subject to a temperature of 120 degree C and at a pressure of 5.9 MPa. Processed bran is commonly used in food items such as snacks, bread products, breakfast items to make them more digestible. The extrusion process usually renders processed bran with less dietary fiber than unprocessed bran.
