Flavoring Ingredients

Small quantities of strong flavoring ingredients are used to enhance the taste of the baked products. Flavoring agents are diverse and include spices, seeds, oils, alcohol, fruits and nuts. Most of the flavoring ingredients have an outstanding taste by themselves, but many bakers combine two or more flavors to enhance the effect and bring uniqueness to the product. Spices in whole or powder form, flavor extracts or essence, alcohol, fruit peels (zest), candied fruit and chocolates are commonly used as flavor enhancers.
