The Science Of Baking

For kete this term Caila and I have been learning about the science of baking and it was a very complicated task. We needed to find out what would happen if we were to change a recipe by one thing.

First we changed the cookies recipe by doing a white vs brown sugar. it didn't make that much of a difference except that the brown sugar spread the more than the white. The brown sugar also dissolved in the butter.

For the cakes we decided to do 3/4 cup water vs 3/4 cup milk. The cake with the water was more moist than the one with the milk and it would also rise more then the milk if you were to lightly touch it.

In the end we found out that you need to be precise with your ingredients because if you aren't then you might end up with a clump of dough.
