If your baked goods don't rise, you may not be quenching the baking soda with vinegar correctly.

We'll tell you about a common mistake when extinguishing soda with vinegar and how to do it correctly.

How to extinguish soda with vinegar

Most housewives extinguish the soda in a spoon or glass before adding it to the dough.

This is a big mistake that worsens the quality of the dough and, accordingly, the baking. Soda should be added to the dough before adding flour.

Then pour in the vinegar and stir. This way the carbon dioxide released during quenching will remain in the dough and will loosen it well.
