Now that you are ready to start baking, I have a few essential rules to keep in mind as you bake your way through the book!
Rule 1: Recipes Are Guidelines
While baking is a science, it should also be noted that recipes are guidelines and not set in stone. Everyone has different ingredients and tools available to them, along with a different environment. These things can affect how long something needs to bake or rise. Pay attention to your baked goods throughout the process so you can use your best judgment if adjustments need to be made.
