BAKING Meaning and Definition

  1. Baking is a culinary technique that involves cooking food items using dry heat in an enclosed space such as an oven. It is a method commonly used for preparing sweet and savory dishes, including bread, cakes, pastries, cookies, pies, and casseroles. The process of baking typically involves combining various ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, and leavening agents (such as yeast or baking powder) to create a batter or dough. This mixture is then placed in the oven and subjected to controlled heat to allow the food to rise, brown, and cook thoroughly.

    Baking is characterized by the gentle and even heating process, which allows the outer surface of the food to set and develop a golden crust while maintaining a moist and tender interior. The dry heat of the oven causes the trapped air within the batter or dough to expand, resulting in the rising of baked goods. Furthermore, the heat triggers chemical reactions that give rise to desirable textural and flavor characteristics in the final product.

    Baking requires precision and careful attention to measurements, temperatures, and cooking times to achieve the desired result. It not only creates delicious treats but also provides a satisfyingly aromatic and visually appealing outcome. Baking is a popular cooking method practiced both professionally by bakers and pastry chefs, as well as in home kitchens worldwide.

  2. The quantity baked at one time.
