Can you use baking powder and bake later?
Yes, you can use baking powder and bake later. Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, cornstarch, and an acid. When they are mixed with water and heat, they release carbon dioxide gas which makes the baked goods rise. Baking powder is a good choice for baking if you don't want to use yeast or if you need to make the dough ahead of time.
If you are using baking powder and you want to bake later, you will need to store the dough in a cool place so that the baking powder does not react with the water and heat. You can store the dough in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
When you are ready to bake the dough, you can simply take it out of the fridge or freezer and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Then you can shape the dough and bake it according to the recipe.
