Baking Ingredients are those which are used in the baking process to prepare food that uses dry heat, mostly in an oven or else in hot ashes, or on hot stones. Some of the basic ingredients used in baking include emulsifiers, leavening agents, enzymes, baking powder & mixes, oils, fats, and shortenings, colors & flavors, starch, and others including baking soda, eggs, honey, yeasts, fruits, and nuts. Fats coat gluten molecules and contribute to the finished product's tenderness as well as fat also contributes to the fluffiness of the final product. Eggs are basically a leavening agent and the yolks add fat and act as an emulsifier for a smooth and even texture in the finished product, additionally provide proteins to the structure of the baked good. Baking soda and baking powder form CO2, which ultimately makes the baked product rise.
