]]> While their names may sound very similar, baking soda and baking powder do have their differences, meaning that their purposes in the kitchen are different. Still, telling the difference between the two can prove challenging. Here is how to tell the difference and know when to use each one.

The Difference

Also called sodium bicarbonate baking soda creates a chewy texture. Baking powder, on the other hand, consists of baking soda alongside cornstarch and cream of tartar. This creates a lighter, more puffy texture.

When To Use

Because of its tougher, chewier texture, baking soda is used for baking cookies and other baked goods that require that chewy base. Baking powder, on the other hand, is ideal for cakes and other airy desserts.

Can They Be Used As Substitutes?

While baking soda is contained in baking powder, they don’t make for perfect substitutes. Even though both ingredients make the food rise, their difference in texture will result in a different taste experience, so best head out to the store the next time you notice yourself running out of these ingredients.

]]> With over 300 kinds of bread and more than 1,200 different types of rolls and mini-breads, there is a lot to discover when it comes to German bread. If you’re ready to start your exploration of German culinary traditions, here are some traditional German breads that are absolutely worth trying

Brötchen (German Rolls)

Brötchen, which translates to “little breads,” are small, crusty rolls that are a ubiquitous sight at German breakfast tables. They come in various forms, including plain white, whole grain, and versions dotted with seeds, nuts, or grains. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, there’s nothing like a fresh Brötchen.

Brezel (Pretzel)

While the pretzel has become famous worldwide, its origins are deeply rooted in German baking traditions. The classic German Brezel is larger and softer than its international counterparts, with a distinctive dark, shiny crust and a soft, chewy interior. Perfect for a snack and excellent with a cold beer.

Schwarzbrot (Black Bread)

Schwarzbrot, or black bread, is a whole rye bread that is popular in Northern Germany. It gets its name from its dark color, which comes from a combination of rye flour and a longer baking process. It pairs best with strong cheeses, smoked meats, and fish.

]]> From apple pies to tarts, quesadillas, and even apple spice cakes, there is an enormous array of tasty dishes that you can bake using apples. Still, not all apples boast the same taste. Here are the best types of apples you can buy for creating some ingenious baking creations.

Baldwin Apples

Hailing from the New England region of the northwestern United States, these apples boast a sweet, tart-like flavor, making them the ideal core ingredient in any apple tart. They are also ideal anytime you’re looking to add a crispy texture to your dish.

Honeycrisp

Softer and sweeter than most typical apples used for baking, the Honeycrisp is a stellar choice for sweeter desserts such as cakes, pies, and even for adding to ice creams.

Jonagold Apples

Intriguingly, these apples are a hybrid between Golden Delicious and Jonathan varieties. This blend makes the Jonagold apples perfectly balanced for almost any recipe, both sweet and savory.

]]> While it may seem as if baking powder is a staple ingredient in any kitchen, you might not realize that you’ve run out the next time you need it. Here are some close substitutes that you can use so as not to cancel your baking plans.

Lemon Juice And Baking Soda

Firstly, it’s important to note that baking soda is different from baking powder. By mixing half a teaspoon of lemon juice with every quarter teaspoon of baking soda, however, you can concoct a similar mixture.

Club Soda

Because this beverage already contains baking soda, all you have to do is add it to a pancake mix or waffle batter to get it baking-ready.

Self-Rising Flour

What’s great about self-rising flour is that it serves as a direct replacement for baking powder. Be warned, however, that if you use this substitute, then you must not use any baking powder or baking soda in your recipe.

]]> Cinnamon buns are a breakfast staple that we look forward to enjoying on holiday mornings every year. They’re warm, gooey, and the perfect way to cozy up on cold, snowy mornings or whenever we’re in the mood for a seasonal indulgence. While they’re also undeniably delicious in their original form, sometimes it’s fun to mix things up with different flavors and fillings. Here are a few we especially love.

Cookies & Cream Cinnamon Rolls

If you like Oreos, you have to try this recipe by French food blogger Alice Pagès. Chocolate brioche buns serve as a fun substitute for the outside part of the cookie, while a rich macadamia nut cream makes for a healthier alternative to the iconic cream filling. It’s also 100% plant-based, so it’s a great choice for vegans or anyone searching for a lighter option. 

Best Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

“Best” is a bold claim, but in typical Ambitious Kitchen form, the recipe delivers. Made with fresh pumpkin and plenty of pumpkin spice, these rolls have a warm, comforting flavor that will feel right at home on any holiday table. You can even batch prepare them and freeze to have on hand all season long—trust us, you’ll want to.

Dark Chocolate Cherry Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

Larisha and Andrew at Make it Dairy Free are masters when it comes to creating unique and tasty cinnamon rolls, and their Dark Chocolate Cherry recipe is no exception. Perfectly sweet and chocolaty with a tangy cherry frosting, they’re our go-to whenever we’ve had enough cinnamon but still want something indulgent for breakfast.

]]> In the heart of London’s hip SoHo area lies a lovely bakery called Crumbs and Doilies, where the baker known on YouTube as Cupcake Jemma develops her new recipes. With over two million subscribers, Cupcake Jemma has some of the most amazing and creative baking recipes on YouTube. She has developed some amazing versions of brownies that combine brownies with such desserts as cookie dough, shortbread, and even pecan pie. Here are some of her best.

Chocolate Pecan Pie Brownie

With Thanksgiving coming into view, you might be looking for a fresh take on the classics. This pecan pie brownie uses a layer of shortbread, a layer of brownie, and a layer of caramel pecan topping to breathe new life into a classic Thanksgiving dessert.

Caramel Cornflake Brownie

Cereal is a great and underrated treat, as it adds lots of crunch (and a little extra flavor) to a dessert. This recipe uses a layer of caramel and cereal which is even thicker than the brownie itself for a combo cereal-bar-and-brownie slice.

Biscoff S’mores Brownie

This delicious take on s’mores uses a Biscoff cookie crust, a layer of brownie and cookie butter, and a top layer of Italian meringue as the “marshmallow”. It’s all topped off with chunks of cookie for a caramelly, fall-appropriate treat.

]]> While it may seem as if baking powder is a staple ingredient in any kitchen, you might not realize that you’ve run out the next time you need it. Here are some close substitutes that you can use so as not to cancel your baking plans.

Lemon Juice And Baking Soda

Firstly, it’s important to note that baking soda is different from baking powder. By mixing half a teaspoon of lemon juice with every quarter teaspoon of baking soda, however, you can concoct a similar mixture.

Club Soda

Because this beverage already contains baking soda, all you have to do is add it to a pancake mix or waffle batter to get it baking-ready.

Self-Rising Flour

What’s great about self-rising flour is that it serves as a direct replacement for baking powder. Be warned, however, that if you use this substitute, then you must not use any baking powder or baking soda in your recipe.

]]> Cinnamon buns are a breakfast staple that we look forward to enjoying on holiday mornings every year. They’re warm, gooey, and the perfect way to cozy up on cold, snowy mornings or whenever we’re in the mood for a seasonal indulgence. While they’re also undeniably delicious in their original form, sometimes it’s fun to mix things up with different flavors and fillings. Here are a few we especially love.

Cookies & Cream Cinnamon Rolls

If you like Oreos, you have to try this recipe by French food blogger Alice Pagès. Chocolate brioche buns serve as a fun substitute for the outside part of the cookie, while a rich macadamia nut cream makes for a healthier alternative to the iconic cream filling. It’s also 100% plant-based, so it’s a great choice for vegans or anyone searching for a lighter option. 

Best Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

“Best” is a bold claim, but in typical Ambitious Kitchen form, the recipe delivers. Made with fresh pumpkin and plenty of pumpkin spice, these rolls have a warm, comforting flavor that will feel right at home on any holiday table. You can even batch prepare them and freeze to have on hand all season long—trust us, you’ll want to.

Dark Chocolate Cherry Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

Larisha and Andrew at Make it Dairy Free are masters when it comes to creating unique and tasty cinnamon rolls, and their Dark Chocolate Cherry recipe is no exception. Perfectly sweet and chocolaty with a tangy cherry frosting, they’re our go-to whenever we’ve had enough cinnamon but still want something indulgent for breakfast.

]]> In the heart of London’s hip SoHo area lies a lovely bakery called Crumbs and Doilies, where the baker known on YouTube as Cupcake Jemma develops her new recipes. With over two million subscribers, Cupcake Jemma has some of the most amazing and creative baking recipes on YouTube. She has developed some amazing versions of brownies that combine brownies with such desserts as cookie dough, shortbread, and even pecan pie. Here are some of her best.

Chocolate Pecan Pie Brownie

With Thanksgiving coming into view, you might be looking for a fresh take on the classics. This pecan pie brownie uses a layer of shortbread, a layer of brownie, and a layer of caramel pecan topping to breathe new life into a classic Thanksgiving dessert.

Caramel Cornflake Brownie

Cereal is a great and underrated treat, as it adds lots of crunch (and a little extra flavor) to a dessert. This recipe uses a layer of caramel and cereal which is even thicker than the brownie itself for a combo cereal-bar-and-brownie slice.

Biscoff S’mores Brownie

This delicious take on s’mores uses a Biscoff cookie crust, a layer of brownie and cookie butter, and a top layer of Italian meringue as the “marshmallow”. It’s all topped off with chunks of cookie for a caramelly, fall-appropriate treat.
