Re: Baking! (Baker here)

[(Anonymous)]

Perfect the chocolate chip cookie. Seriously, it's one of the easiest recipes there is in terms of ingredients and one of the hardest to do very well. It allows you to understand the effects of water, eggs, different oil types, sugar to flour ratios, leavening... Play with recipes. Get to know what happens to a cookie that calls for baking powder as opposed to one that calls for baking soda, as opposed to one that does not call for leaveners at all.

It also has the advantage of being one of the most beloved treats, so you can always share them and people will appreciate even a less-than-perfect batch.

After you have that under your belt, you can try moving on to muffins and then onto cakes that use the creaming method. Pie dough and biscuits are among the most difficult of skillsets to master, followed by the meringue and egg white cakes (chiffon, angel food). Finally, the souffle, the pavlova, the macaron, and home made puff pastry are the apex of the pastry chef.

Yeast breads and cakes are a whole other animal, and should be approached as an entirely different skillset when it comes to baking. The simple white loaf, the egg breads, pizza doughs, and baguettes are all predicated on the same general concept, but the execution is what sets them apart.
