Baking Science Book - One Sarcastic Baker

Last updated on August 9th, 2024.

You guys, I wrote a Baking Science Book!

2021 has been very busy here at One Sarcastic Baker’s test kitchen. I spent most of the year researching, experimenting, and writing recipes that explore and bring light to the magical world of BAKING SCIENCE.

What is the book about?

As we all know, baking is a very complex and delicate process; even the slightest change in the recipe or the wrong ingredient can echo into an epic disaster.

This is the first, one-of-a-kind Baking Science Book written for home bakers who want to better understand the process and elevate their baking.

This baking science book explores and dives deep into the process of baking and everything that it includes: ingredients, temperature, mixing process, ratios, chemical reactions, and more.

There are 45 recipes to showcase every scientific element it covers. The goal is to give you, the reader, a clear picture and a complete understanding of this process and to allow you to bake with confidence, troubleshoot a recipe and even create your own.

The book covers detailed explanations and illustrations of different scientific topics such as:

Baking ingredients, their importance, and rule in baking. How to choose the perfect ingredients for your process.
Emulsifications, what it is, how it works, and why it is essential to the baking process.
Leaveners in baking why, how, and how much.
Caramelization and browning, and the difference between the two.
Ratios and mixing method, and how to tailor it to your desires.
