While You’re Still Learning, Measure and Weight Everything Precisely
When you’re starting out and still establishing the basics of good baking, it’s important to be precise. If you take too many liberties or guess-timate your measurements, you’ll end up making mistakes that’ll completely throw your recipes off course. So invest in good scales and measurements tools and be as precise as it’s possible to be.
Bake with the Freshest Ingredients
Your choice of ingredients will also have a pretty impact on how successful your attempts at breaking turn out to be. If you want to make sure that you achieve everything you want to with your recipes, you really need to bake with the freshest ingredients possible. Source them from trusted retailers and, if you can afford to, spend a little extra on the best. It’ll make your life easier and your baked products more delicious.

Try Not to Disrupt the Baking Process
