It's always easier to understand something when we see it in action so today we're going to do some experiments to help us understand our ingredients better.
Learning Objectives:
You will know the seven basic ingredients in all baked goods.
You will understand how each ingredient works and how to make substitutions.
Learning Goals:
You will write an paragraph explaining in your own words why we can't use baking powder and baking soda interchangeably.
They look the same (a white powder) and they have similar names but don't make the mistake of using the wrong one or you will regret it. Today we're going to learn why.
Contains sodium bicarbonate (a base)
Contains sodium bicarbonate (a base) AND monocalcium phosphate and sodium aluminum sulfate (acids)
Complete the middle section of your Ingredients Experiment Form. Record what you learned from this lesson by writing a paragraph explaining why you can't use baking soda and baking powder interchangeably.
