📐 Baking Measurement Basics
Why Weight Matters
Professional bakers prefer weight measurements because:
- • More accurate than volume measurements
- • Consistent results every time
- • Easier to scale recipes up or down
- • No variation from packing or sifting
Volume vs Weight
1 cup of flour can weigh:
- • 120g when spooned and leveled
- • 145g when scooped directly
- • 100g when sifted first
🌡️ Temperature Guidelines
Common Baking Temps
- • Cookies: 350-375°F (180-190°C)
- • Cakes: 325-350°F (165-180°C)
- • Bread: 375-425°F (190-220°C)
- • Pastries: 400-425°F (200-220°C)
Altitude Adjustments
- • Above 3,000 ft: Increase temp 25°F
- • Decrease baking time slightly
- • Reduce sugar by 1-2 tbsp per cup
- • Increase liquid by 2-4 tbsp
💡 Pro Baking Tips
- • Invest in a kitchen scale for best results
- • Room temperature ingredients mix better
- • Don't overmix batters - leads to tough texture
- • Use an oven thermometer to verify temperature
- • Measure liquids at eye level for accuracy
- • Sift flour for lighter cakes and pastries
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- • Packing flour into measuring cups (adds 20-30% more)
- • Not leveling dry ingredients
- • Measuring over the mixing bowl (spills add up)
- • Using liquid cups for dry ingredients
- • Not accounting for ingredient temperature
