Baking facts and context
Baking is more chemistry than most cooking: small changes in ratios, temperature, or mixing can shift gluten development, gas retention, and moisture balance.
A classic example is leavening - baking powder releases gas in stages, while yeast ferments sugars over time, which changes both rise and flavor.
