baking ingredients to have on hand
What spices go into baked goods?
Although it does go into nearly every kind of baked good, it’s pricey now and getting ever more expensive. For spices, the true essentials are the classics: cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Spice preference is personal, so add to that list however you like—allspice, cloves and cardamom are nice to have, too!
What ingredients should a baker have?
Flour is the main (and largest) ingredient in many recipes for baked goods, and that's why it tops our list of essential ingredients every baker should always have on hand. You can choose to stock all sorts of flours, but all-purpose flour is the most widely used in baking as it is superbly versatile.
What should you have in your Baker's pantry?
Look at the ingredients for a classic pound cake (butter, sugar, flour), a pie crust (butter, flour) and shortbread (butter, sugar, flour) and you’ll see a pattern. So what should you have on hand in your baker’s pantry? Up next: These 30 recipes belong on your baking bucket list.
What are the basic ingredients in a Baking Pantry?
You'll see that the following list is broken out by category, such as flour, leavening, sugar, salt, etc. These are the essential building blocks of your baking pantry. Each category is divided into basic needs and next-level ingredients. Of course, one baker's next-level ingredient could be another's basic need.
Flour
Must-Have Flour All-purpose flouris the workhorse of the basic baking pantry. The middle-of-the-road protein content allows the flour to be sturdy enough to hold its structure for things like yeast breads, but still light enough to produce a tender crumb in a layer cake. It is shelf-stable and has a mild flavor, making it perfect for cookies, quick breads, muffins, cupcakes, cakes, pie dough, and so much more Nice-to-Have Flours These specialty flours may deserve a place in your pantry as well, depending on the different types of recipes you’d like to tackle. Add them as needed 1. Bread flour has a higher protein content and produces wonderfully chewy yeast bread. [Make these: Milk Bread, Copycat Pizza Hut Breadsticks, Italian Bread] 2. Cake flour has a lower protein content which creates a fine and tender crumb for light and soft cakes and cupcakes. [Make these: Angel Food Cake, Coconut Cake, New York Crumb Cake, H
Leaveners
Leaveners react with other ingredients to cause a chemical reaction, which is what gives baked goods lift and rise. Think tall and light muffins and cakes, thick and chewy cookies, fluffy pancakes, etc. browneyedbaker.com
Sugars
Must-Have Sugars 1. Granulated sugaris basic “white sugar” is the default ingredient when a recipe simply calls for sugar. 2. Brown sugaris white sugar with molasses added. Light brown sugar has less molasses, while dark brown sugar has more molasses added in. 3. Powdered sugaris also known as confectioners’ sugar or icing sugar, is ultra-finely ground granulated sugar until it reaches a powdered state. It is usually mixed with an anti-caking agent to prevent clumping. This is the sugar typically used in fros
Cocoa Powder
Must-Have Cocoa Powder Natural unsweetened cocoa powder is the cocoa powder that you like grew up seeing in your mom’s cabinet (think that can of Hershey’s cocoa powder) and is the one most called for in baking recipes. You can find it in your local grocery store in the baking aisle [Make These: Texas Sheet Cake, No-Bake Cookies, Devil’s Food Cake, Triple Chocolate Muffins] Nice-to-Have Cocoa Powder Dutch-process cocoa powder has been alkalized to neutralize its natural acidity. The result is a richer cocoa powder that is darker in color and has a more mellow, less sharp-tasting flavor. [Make These: The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe, Ultimate Chocolate Cupcakes, Better-Than-Box Mix Brownies] It is often difficult to find at grocery stores but can be purchased online. ⭐️ Dive deeper into the differences between natural unsweetened cocoa powder and Dutch-process cocoa powder, and learn when y
Salt
Must-Have Salt Table salt is the go-to salt of choice for baking. It dissolves easily and isn’t overpowering; I have come across recipes that call for kosher salt, but I often find it to be too coarse, depending on the brand. My recommendation is always to use table salt (If you come across a recipe that calls for kosher and you want to use table salt, this salt conversion chartis very handy.) Nice-to-Have Salt Flaky sea salt, also referred to as fleur de sel or Maldon salt, can be an incredible finish to cookies, brownies or caramel sauce. Some higher-end grocery stores carry it, but you can also buy it from Williams Sonoma or Amazon. browneyedbaker.com
Fats
Must-Have Fats 1. Unsalted butterfor all of the reasons we touched on in the section above. 2. Vegetable oil has a neutral flavor and doesn’t overpower baked goods, which is perfect, and it creates very moist finished products. Absolutely necessary in my favorite chocolate cupcakes, banana bread, carrot cake, and much more Nice-to-Have Fats 1. Vegetable shortening is definitely a staple for me since I use it in my favorite pie crustand always want to have it available. It is also used in a number of cookie recipes and for chocolate coatings. 2. Coconut oil can be swapped for some other fats in recipes if you want/need to do that, and it’s also perfect for making magic shell 3. Lardcan also be used for pie crusts, and in other recipes where solid fat is called for (mostly in a lot of old-fashioned recipes). browneyedbaker.com
Extracts and Flavorings
Must-Have Extract Pure vanilla extract is an absolute must when it comes to stocking your baking pantry. It adds richness and extra flavor to everything that you make, and I swear by pure vanilla extract, not imitation. It can be pricey but is 100% worth it. And don’t forget – you can make your own homemade vanilla extract, too Nice-to-Have Extracts and Flavorings This list really depends on what flavors YOU like and the types of recipes you’ll plan to make. My advice would be to buy these on an as-needed basis when you make a recipe that calls for them. 1. Almond extract 2. Anise extract and/or oil 3. Lemon extract 4. Mint extract 5. Peppermint extract 6. Coconut extract 7. Rum extract 8. Whole vanilla beans 9. Vanilla bean paste browneyedbaker.com
Spices
Must-Have Spices If you stock the spices below, you’ll be set up for all of the fall and holiday baking your heart desires 1. Cinnamon 2. Cloves 3. Allspice 4. Ginger 5. Nutmeg Nice-to-Have Spices While these are not used as frequently, I do recommend keeping them stocked if you plan to do semi-regular baking. 1. Cream of tartar works as a type of leavener when combined with baking soda, stabilizes egg whites for meringue (think pavlova, lemon meringue pie, and angel food cake), and gives snickerdoodles their characteristic tang. 2. Espresso powder is often added to chocolate desserts because it enhances and intensifies the chocolate flavor without adding any coffee flavor. In almost a
Add-Ins + Extra Ingredients
Must-Have Add-Ins 1. Chocolate chips (semisweet at the least, then milk, dark, and white) 2. Chocolate bars (for chopping and melting – milk, semisweet, dark, and white) 3. Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, blueberries, dates, figs, apricots, etc.) 4. Coconut (shredded/flaked and sweetened/unsweetened) 5. Oats (traditional rolled oats will work in most all recipes) 6. Nuts (walnuts, pecans, pistachios, cashews, almonds, peanuts, etc.) 7. Jams/jellies 8. Peanut butter (or other nut butters) 9. Food coloring (I
