World Baking Day Recipes

By Caro

17th May 2023 marks World Baking Day!  Yeh!  Now every single day should be Baking Day, but it’s still great that there is a day to recognise and promote the beauty that is baking.

History shows that baking might have been around for more than 14 thousand years. And in that time, it has evolved so much, but at the same time, much joy can still come in these days of high technology, by going back to the basics of baking.

Baking Therapy

Baking is therapeutic to so many people, helping with stress and anxiety. It can be fun getting kids involved and at the end of it all – you have some tasty bakes to enjoy or gift.

We are not so happy about the mess and clean up, but the joy of creating something from scratch makes up for that. Baking can also develop better self-esteem as you push yourself into new territory.

I always say, no matter how much experience and years of baking and qualifications you have, there is always something new to learn in baking. And if you love learning and developing your skills, baking is for you.

The Savoury Lessons

My savoury lessons are also structured to increase your abilities and include quick breads, savoury muffins, before introducing yeasted bakes. And many of these bread recipes, include a quicker technique, making yeasted bakes much quicker to prepare and be ready to eat. An example being 2 hour Yeast Bagels – 2 hours start to finish, no hidden times.
