🍞 Baking Tips for Beginners

New to baking? No worries! Here are some essential tips to get you started and make your baking journey smooth, safe, and delicious.

1. Always Preheat Your Oven

Preheating ensures that your baked goods cook evenly and rise properly. Turn on your oven 10–15 minutes before baking.

2. Measure Ingredients Accurately

Use proper measuring cups and spoons. Baking is a science — even small measurement errors can affect your results.

3. Position the Oven Rack Properly

Most baked goods do best in the center of the oven. Adjust the rack position based on what you're baking.

4. Let It Cool

Let cakes and cookies cool on a wire rack before slicing or storing. This helps maintain texture and flavor.

5. Keep Your Oven Clean

Wipe spills and crumbs regularly. A clean oven heats more evenly and reduces smoke and smells.
