How this Book Works

For the past few years, I have toyed with the idea of writing this book. I wanted to translate
the approach culinary school had for the home baker. I felt confident that if I could guide
bakers through mixing methods, techniques, and approachable baking science, they would
feel more confident with baking and love it as much as I do.

I have been teaching baking online for the last 10 years and it's a wonderful medium to
connect with people from all over the world. But it is more difficult to guide bakers through
a wide range of topics sequentially, which is why I’m ecstatic about sharing this book with
you!

While you can dip in and out of this book for recipes, I’m going to encourage you to go
through this book sequentially from start to finish. It is laid out in a way to guide you
through lessons that continue building on each other so that as you go through each one,
Property of Kristin Hoffman
you will finish this book with a great deal of baking confidence. This is the book that I wish I
had when I was first learning to bake.

Part one lays out some important groundwork for everything that will follow. We cover
basic ingredient functions, essential baking equipment, and important baking science that
will apply to the chapters that follow.

In part two, we dive into mixing methods, techniques, and master recipes. In this section,
you learn specific mixing methods and the master recipes that utilize these methods. You
will see how versatile these master recipes can be to create a wide variety of baked goods.

Each chapter also covers key baking science that will help you identify what may have gone
wrong if you ever have a baking mishap. Each of these chapters could be written into a
book all by themselves. My goal for you is to lay the groundwork for understanding the
fundamentals of each topic so you feel confident to venture beyond this book into more
advanced techniques and recipes.

Thank you for trusting me to teach you. Let’s dive in!
