5 Back Mistakes You Should Avoid

Baking may seem simple at first, but it doesn't take long to realize that it can be quite difficult without the right guidance. Also, a lot can go wrong if you don't follow the instructions. So here are five mistakes you should avoid when baking. The measurements specified in the recipe must be followed exactly, as measuring ingredients 'with your heart' is disastrous. Although there are some exceptions, substituting ingredients is forbidden, as each ingredient imparts its own unique flavor to the recipe. Before putting your cookie dough in the oven, chill it in the refrigerator to prevent spreading during baking. While it's tempting to constantly check on things, opening the oven door too often can lead to uneven baking and undo your hard work. Before mixing the dry ingredients, sift all ingredients to remove any lumps.
