No housewife wants her baked goods to be stale the next day, because this will not allow her to fully enjoy the dessert.

Some cooks keep their baked goods fresh for up to a week.

If you don't want your baked goods to become hard too quickly, there are five important rules you need to know.

What do they consist of?

Oil

If the recipe allows, it is recommended to add a little vegetable oil to the dough. Thanks to this simple component, the baked goods remain soft and appetizing for a long time.

Sour cream

Many cooks use this fermented milk product in their recipes. Sour cream has a positive effect on the taste of baked goods and prevents pies from getting stale ahead of time.

Starch

Not all housewives are fully aware of the benefits of starch in cooking. But this component can provide the dough with softness and airiness.

It is better to add starch dissolved in a small amount of water to baked goods.

Chicken eggs

Many people know that this component can make any dish tough if you add more eggs than required. If eggs are present in the composition, you need to know about one trick.

You will have to take an extra egg, separate the yolk and brush it over the surface of the pie or buns.

Temperature conditions

When preparing baked goods, you should not use a gentle baking mode, which involves long-term heat treatment at a relatively low temperature.

Because of this, the dish may become hard immediately after cooking.
