Make sure to quickly skim the recipe before you start baking to understand the general flow and key steps. You can even make notes on the recipe or highlight key points to help you along.
Prep for baking: Tie back loose hair, secure loose clothing, wear an apron and cover your feet (spills can happen and sharp objects can fall). Keep hands clean: wash hands before and during the prep to avoid spreading germs. Keep your workspace tidy: wipe surfaces clean, especially at the end.
Successful baking requires careful attention to several key factors: 1. Properly measuring ingredients and controlling temperatures during mixing and proofing. 2. Using proper techniques for mixing, molding, proofing, and baking to develop structure and flavor.
Read the recipe, then read the recipe again, and double check anything you're unclear about. Weigh out all your ingredients ahead of time, even the day before if you wish! A supply of bowls of different sizes is handy for this. Don't be tempted to make substitutions when you bake.
Never ignore the temperature mentioned in recipes. Whether it is the temperature of your oven, or the butter, or the eggs being used. Follow the temperature guidelines correctly. Make sure that if the recipe calls for room temperature ingredients, then your ingredients must be at room temperature.
