Bake

Baking is an ancient art that dates back centuries. The first recipes for baked goods were probably for flatbreads, which were cooked on hot stones or in hot ashes. These early breads were unleavened, meaning they did not contain any yeast or other leavening agent.

As time went on, bakers began to experiment with different ingredients and methods of leavening, which resulted in the creation of a whole host of new and delicious baked goods. Today, there are literally thousands of different bake recipes available, ranging from simple cookies and cakes to more complex pies and pastries.

Whether you’re a novice baker or a seasoned pro, there’s a bake recipe out there for you. So get baking and enjoy the delicious results!
