Lesson 14:Importance Of Balancing, Formula For Different Baked Products
Measuring & Sifting
Measuring The first step in baking is accurately measuring the ingredients. For measuring liquids graduated glass cups should be used for accuracy. Double-check the recipe for measurement interpretation. e.g. whether teaspoon is heaped or leveled. Convert the units from pounds to kilograms or vice versa, depending on which you are using (1 kg = 2.2 lbs). Do not work with approximations, use the tools for measuring: weighing scale (digital or manual), cups and spoons (metal or plastic). When measuring dry ingredients ensure that the container is dry. When using a scale weigh the ingredients separately or return the display to zero before taking the next ingredient.
Sifting For uniform mixing of dry ingredients sifting should be repeated 2 to 3 times.
