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. Make cupcakes. To do this, you will need a special pan for baking cupcakes or muffins, as well as the papers that hold the cakes. Cupcakes are fun to make, and they can be decorated in all kinds of ways, made to suit any occasion. Get as creative as possible with the icing and other decorations.
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. Lots of people buy the dough for these tasty items in the grocery store, ready made in those tubes that pop open. This is easy and convenient, but why not learn to make them from scratch when you have the time? A homemade croissant or cinnamon roll with a cup of fresh coffee makes for a great weekend morning in your pajamas.
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.
