When baking, everyone wants to achieve excellent taste and aroma. And why not put aside the usual recipes in this case?
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking, a chef and a fourth-class baker, told us what needs to be added during baking to get an excellent taste and aroma.
Vanilla
Vanilla is an essential ingredient in most baked goods. Vanilla extract or vanilla sugar imparts a rich aroma and delicate flavor to muffins, pies, and cookies. Even a small amount of vanilla extract can make a big difference.
However, there is also a reverse effect, because if there is too much vanilla, the taste of the baked goods will be irreparably spoiled.
Citrus zest
Lemon, orange or lime zest adds a bright citrusy accent. These aromatic zests can be added to muffin, pie or biscuit batters to give them a refreshing and bright flavor.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon isn't just a spice for pies and buns. Its rich aroma and warm flavor can transform ordinary desserts into real treats.
You can safely add a little cinnamon to the dough for Christmas gingerbread or apple pie.
Honey
Honey not only adds sweetness to desserts, but also keeps them soft and juicy. It makes sense to add a little honey to muffin or biscuit dough to get an unrivaled taste and texture. Of course, if you use honey, you should carefully follow the recipe.
Nuts
Walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts can all be added to the dough as well.
You can add chopped nuts to muffin or pie dough to give it a crunchy texture and rich, nutty flavor.
Ginger
Ginger gives baked goods not only a unique taste, but also an inimitable aroma.
You can use a little ground ginger in your gingerbread or cookie dough to create a special piquant flavor. Of course, you should be careful when adding ginger, as it can significantly affect the taste of your dishes.
