Baking FAQs

Find clear answers to common baking challenges and improve your homemade treats with practical advice from Aubrey.

Why did my cookies spread too much?

Cookies can spread if the dough is too warm or if there’s too much butter. Chill your dough before baking and measure ingredients carefully to keep the shape intact.

How can I make my bread softer and fluffier?

Use bread flour for better gluten development and add a bit of fat like butter or oil. Also, allow the dough to rise fully in a warm spot before baking.

What’s the best way to prevent soggy pie crusts?

Blind bake your crust before adding filling to keep it crisp. Using a pie shield or foil can protect edges from burning while baking.

How do I know when my cinnamon rolls are perfectly baked?

Look for a golden-brown top and a soft, springy texture when pressed lightly. Internal temperature should reach about 190°F (88°C) for fully baked rolls.
