Even experienced housewives often make mistakes that ultimately become fatal.

Therefore, it is worth remembering several typical mistakes that cause baking to fail.

Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova - a cook, fourth-class baker, told about the secrets of baking.

Incorrect proportions

It is worth noting right away that many housewives try to add many ingredients “by eye”.

This means that it is impossible to calculate the proportions accurately. It is essential to use a measuring cup or scales when preparing.

Long text shuffling

Some people think that if they mix the dough for a long time, they can achieve excellent results, but this is not true at all.

Experts note that this can lead to gluten activation. The result is that baked goods will become quite tough and tasteless.

During cooking, it is necessary to monitor the balance.

Expired products

If expired products are used, they can negatively affect the taste. Many housewives make this mistake.

The thing is that if there are any leftover products, many people think that they can be added to baked goods so as not to throw them away. This leads to the baked goods not turning out well and being impossible to eat.

Insufficient pre-preparation of the baking pan

Insufficient greasing of the pan or the wrong choice of paper baking pans can cause baked goods to stick to the pan.

The selection and preparation of forms should always be taken seriously. Many people ignore this stage, making a typical mistake.

High temperature

Trying to speed up the cooking process, some people set the temperature too high, completely forgetting about the possible risks.

If the oven temperature is too high, you won't be able to bake delicious baked goods.

Opening the oven doors

If you open the door during cooking, the temperature will drop and the baked goods may shrink.

There is a simple rule that must be followed: the doors must be tightly closed at all times during baking.

Insufficient cooling before slicing

Many housewives try to cut the baked goods right before cooking. Why not wait a little?

It is important to wait until the pastry has cooled down and only then begin cutting and serving it. It is also worth remembering that the pastry can “reach” even while cooling.
