Baking is a cakewalk with these beginner’s tips, tricks, and techniques

For a beginner, baking might seem like magic: mix the right ingredients, add heat, and watch a transformation happen before your eyes. But you don’t have to be a sorcerer to bake a flavorful pie, decadent layer cake, or pillowy loaf of bread. Beginner’s Baking Bible walks you through all the essential techniques you’ll need to bake over 130 sweet and savory recipes―and get them right every time.

Learn the tools and staple ingredients you’ll need for baking (don’t worry, it’s not as much as you think). Pick up building block skills like measuring, mixing, kneading, creaming butter and sugar, and whipping egg whites. Soon, you’ll impress your family and friends with muffins, cookies, cakes, pies, quiches, and even savory galettes. Presto! You’re a baker.

In Beginner’s Baking Bible, you’ll find:

• 130+ tasty recipes―Learn to bake a wide range of recipes like Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies, Bacon and Swiss Quiche, Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits, Red Velvet Layer Cake, and more.
• Start from scratch―Learn the simple baking techniques you’ll need to make every recipe, like melting chocolate and cutting butter into flour.
• Tips and tricks―Helpful tips guide you with easy preparation, ingredient substitutions, and troubleshooting when your bake is in danger.
