What are the baking items includes raising agent?

Here's a breakdown of baking items that commonly include raising agents:

Common Raising Agents

* Baking Powder: A chemical leavening agent that reacts with moisture and heat to produce carbon dioxide bubbles, which make cakes, muffins, and biscuits rise.

* Baking Soda: Another chemical leavening agent, but it needs an acidic ingredient (like buttermilk, lemon juice, or brown sugar) to activate its raising power. This is often used in cookies, quick breads, and pancakes.

* Yeast: A living organism that produces carbon dioxide as it feeds on sugars in dough. This is essential for breads and rolls.

Baking Items Often Containing Raising Agents

* Cakes: Almost all cakes use baking powder as a primary leavening agent.

* Muffins: Baking powder is used to create the light and airy texture of muffins.

* Biscuits: Baking powder is crucial for biscuits' flaky, tender texture.

* Quick Breads: Baking powder or baking soda (or a combination) are used for quick breads like banana bread, zucchini bread, and cornbread.

* Pancakes & Waffles: Baking powder or baking soda is used to make these breakfast staples fluffy.

* Cookies: Some cookies use baking soda for a slight rise and chewy texture.

* Bread: Yeast is the primary raising agent for all breads.

* Yeast Rolls: Yeast provides the lift and texture for rolls.

* Doughnuts: Baking powder or baking soda is often used for doughnuts.

Note:

* Not all items in these categories will use raising agents. Some recipes may use other techniques for texture.

* The amount of raising agent used varies depending on the recipe and desired texture.
