To ensure that your baked goods always turn out great, you need to remember the simple rules for adding soda and baking powder to the dough.

Some people think that these components can replace each other. But this is not always the case.

When to add soda

It only helps if the ingredients include sour foods, such as kefir, sour cream or sour milk.

Berry or lemon juice will do.

Some people use baking soda mixed with vinegar. But you can forget about this method, because it does not always work, and it can also negatively affect the taste of buns or pies.

When to add baking powder

This component is suitable if there are no acidic additives in the composition.

The baking powder must first be mixed with dry ingredients, for example, flour, and only then added to the rest of the mass. At this time, the reaction of releasing air bubbles will begin. After mixing, such a workpiece can be sent to the oven.
