Baking can be a very rewarding, fun, and delicious hobby, and it’ll be well worth dipping your toes into if you’re already a fan of cooking. That being said, it can be a bit intimidating as it requires so much more precision than cooking. So to help you get past the intimidation factor, here are some easy-peasy recipes for the baker who is just starting out.
Banana Bread
Banana bread is a perfect recipe to start out with. Not only it is pretty much universally beloved, but it’s also quite easy to whip up, with simple ingredients and a batter that comes together in really just a few minutes. You can also bake it in pretty much any dish or pan. The most important thing is just using very, very ripe bananas. If you can do that, you’re set.
Miracle No-Knead Bread
Making bread is incredibly satisfying, but it’s also often too challenging for beginners. But that’s where Pinch of Yum’s Miracle No Knead Bread recipe comes in. It’s just as delicious as any other bread, but you don’t have to knead it: just leave it out to rise and proof for 12 to 18 hours. You’ll be crazy impressed with yourself.
