Baking Soda vs Baking Powder:
When it comes to baking, baking soda and baking powder play a key role in making dough rise, but there are differences in how they work and how to use them.
Baking Soda:
It is an alkaline powder and needs to be used with acidic ingredients. When baking soda comes into contact with an acidic substance (such as yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar), it produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes the dough to rise. Therefore, in a recipe, if you use baking soda, you need to make sure there are enough acidic ingredients to react with it.
Baking Powder:
It usually contains yeast and an alkaline substance (usually sodium bicarbonate). When the baking powder is exposed to moisture, the yeast begins to ferment and creates air bubbles, which cause the dough to rise. Therefore, unlike baking soda, baking powder does not require additional acidic ingredients to work.
So if a recipe calls for baking soda, then you need to make sure you have enough of the acidic ingredient in the recipe; whereas if using baking powder, you just add it to the recipe without the additional acidic ingredient.
How to Make Baking Powder?
To make baking powder, you need to prepare the following ingredients and follow these steps:
Raw materials:
1. **Baking Soda**: This is the main ingredient of baking powder. When heated, it will generate bubbles and make the dough fluffy.
2. **Acid salts**: Such as tartaric acid or citric acid, they will react with baking soda to produce bubbles.
Production steps:
1. **Mix**: Pour the baking soda and acid salt together into a clean bowl.
2. **Stir**: Stir them gently with a spoon to make sure they are evenly mixed.
3. **Storage**: Place the mixed baking powder in an airtight container, do not let it get wet.
Precautions
- When using baking powder, add it according to the recipe requirements, otherwise the taste of the food will be affected.
- Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent, so put the dough into the oven as soon as possible before baking so that it can fully ferment.
