Baking & doughs

Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent that gives doughs volume and a light texture when baked. It reacts with moisture and heat to release carbon dioxide. It is an essential ingredient for many cakes, muffins, and pastries.

It is typically combined with flour, eggs, sugar, and butter to lighten cakes, muffins, and pastries. It is also used in bread recipes like "Spelt Quark Rolls".
