Baking at Home
Baking rewards weighing things. Start with bread, where flour, water, time and temperature are almost the whole recipe, then move to cookies and a tall sponge where small changes in mixing show up immediately. The coffee and label-reading guides cover the measurements around the bake. Use the recipe scaler in this hub when you change tin size or serving count instead of guessing at the conversion.
