Baking can be a fun and delicious way to pass the time. It also makes your house smell fantastic. When it is cold and snowy outside, and you are stuck in the house, this is one of the best activities. Kids also love to learn to bake. Whether you buy baking supplies online or in the store, they are fairly cheap.
The different kinds of items you can bake are endless. We often think of bakes goods as sugary and full of fat, but this is not always the case; there are some healthy options. The desserts are the most fun, of course, but you can also bake some savory options that can be included in a meal. Here are some ideas for savory baked goods as well as sweet ones.
1. Bread. Everyone loves fresh baked bread, especially on a cold dreary day, combined with some homemade soup. There are all different kinds of bread you can learn to make. Making bread is a useful and fun skill to learn on your own and to share with your kids. The supplies needed are minimal- just the ingredients (be sure to have yeast!), space to knead your dough and to place it while it rises, and a pan in which to bake the bread.
2. Cupcakes. These little cups of deliciousness are quick and simple to make, and you can change around the flavors, the icing, and the decorations. You can adapt them to any occasion. You will need your ingredients, a pan that has spaced for each individual cake, and muffin papers to place in the pan.
3. Muffins. Like cupcakes, muffins will require a muffin tin and papers. You can make sugary, cake-like muffins such as blueberry and chocolate chip. You can also make more savory, healthier muffins like bran or carrot muffins. Muffins are a great accompaniment to a meal, and a good snack or breakfast on their own. They also make great gifts.
4. Make cakes. This take more time than some of the other items, as many cakes include multiple steps such as baking the different layers and then frosting them. There are all kinds of cake pans, in different shapes, for making fancy and uniquely shaped cakes. Cake decorating can be turned into an art form, and if you learn how to do it well, you might be able to make some money by making and decorating caked for special occasions like birthdays.
5. Croissants and cinnamon rolls. Making croissants or cinnamon rolls can be as simple as buying a tube of ready-made dough and putting them on a cookie sheet. However, it is much more fun and satisfying to make them from scratch. These are great things to have, accompanied by coffee, for a nice lazy breakfast at home on a weekend morning.
Everyone knows that homemade food tastes the best, and this goes double for baked goods. Baking is a great way to relax, and makes your house smell great. Whether you buy baking supplies online or take a trip to the grocery store, stock up in advance. Net time you're stuck in the house, make the most of it by learning to bake something you have never baked before.
