Baked

Baked recipes have been around for centuries, with the earliest known recipe dating back to the Roman Empire. The Roman cookbook Apicius includes a recipe for a cake made with flour, eggs, milk, and honey. This cake was baked in a hot ashes and served with a sweet sauce.

In the Middle Ages, sugar became more widely available and baked recipes began to include it as an ingredient. One of the most popular medieval baked recipes was for a cake called a wafer, which was made with flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. Wafers were often served with fruit or cream.

During the Renaissance, baked recipes became more elaborate, with the addition of spices such as cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. Fruit and nuts were also often added to cakes and other baked desserts.

When making baked goods, it's important to follow the recipe closely and not make any substitutions. Make sure all of the ingredients are at room temperature before mixing them together. Take the time to read through the instructions before you start and measure out all of the ingredients beforehand. Additionally, it's important to preheat the oven before you put the goods in and keep an eye on them while they are baking. Lastly, always allow the baked goods to cool completely before serving. This will ensure that the texture and flavor are perfect!
