The basics of baking

You know I love a good foundation. That is why there are so many basic recipes on the blog, and let's certainly not forget my Basic Baking Book. Yep, with a good foundation, you can go in any direction. And by that, I don't just mean basic recipes. Basic knowledge is essential too.

So, I have already written quite a few tips, but certain questions are still asked pretty much daily. These questions largely concern the basics of baking. So, it is high time to discuss those basics of baking in detail today. Just a nice, comprehensive overview of everything, although I will occasionally refer to another article where you can read even more about the subject.
