Baking is when we mix things together and heat them up to make something new.
Imagine you have a bowl full of ingredients like flour, sugar, and eggs, it's like having a bunch of friends who are ready to play. When you stir them all together, they start to get friendly and work as a team. Then you put them in the oven, which is like turning on a warm hug from above. The heat makes them change shape, go fluffy, or even turn into something crunchy, just like how your favorite snack changes when it gets hot in the microwave.
What Happens Inside
When you bake, the ingredients transform because of the heat. It’s like when you leave a wet towel near a heater, it dries up! In baking, heat helps turn liquid into solid, and makes things rise or get golden on top. You can even make cookies, cakes, or bread, all from just mixing and heating!
Baking is like having a kitchen party where everything gets to be something special.
Examples
- A cake rises because the bubbles in the batter expand when heated.
- Bread gets its texture from gluten forming a network during kneading.
