Haas Natural Baking Powder 4x12g

The history of Haas products dates back about 100 years, when Eduard Haas I invented baking powder and recommended it to his patients as a medicine in his medical practice. His grandson, Eduard Haas III, the namesake and founding father of our company, began producing baking powder in 1915.

Baking powder is responsible for the airiness of the dough, its ingredients ensure that the dough is light, airy and fluffy.

Use

Any dough will be even more delicious if you first mix the flour with Haas Natural Baking Powder, then sift it twice through a fine-mesh sieve. If you sprinkle seeds or dried fruit into the dough (for example, in the case of bishop's bread), first toss it in flour with baking powder, so that it is guaranteed to be evenly distributed in the dough and does not sink to the bottom of the baking tray.

How to make the perfect sponge cake? Everyone knows that sponge cake is a very delicate dough. It easily "breaks down" and collapses if not prepared properly.

Recipe suggestion

Cream the egg yolks with two-thirds of the sugar until creamy and white. This takes 3-4 minutes with an electric whisk on maximum speed. Beat the egg whites until stiff, adding the remaining sugar towards the end.

• Put one-third of the whipped egg whites on the sugared egg yolks, but do not mix yet. Sift one-third of the flour mixed with baking powder on top, so that there are no lumps, then gently mix together. Mix in the remaining foam and flour in the same way, in two batches.
• Grease a large baking tray, flour it or line it with baking paper. Spread the mixture evenly over it. Bake in a preheated oven, on medium heat (180 °C; 165°C in a fan oven) for about 20 minutes.
• If you are not baking a sheet but a sponge cake disc, smooth the mixture into a greased, floured or baking paper-lined 24 cm diameter cake tin, then bake on medium heat for 30-35 minutes. It is done when it starts to visibly separate from the side of the tin at the edge, and no sticky mass sticks to the needle inserted into the middle.

Some tips for baking and cooking:

• If the recipe says to cut the sponge cake disc into 3 parts, then add 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of sugar and the same amount of flour so that the dough is larger and easier to cut.
• If you are baking a chocolate sponge cake, use 1 tablespoon of bitter cocoa powder instead of the same amount of fine flour, and pour 1 tablespoon of water into the egg yolks beaten with sugar.
• In the case of a walnut sponge cake, replace 2 tablespoons of fine flour with the same amount of ground walnuts.
• To make a sponge cake roll, lightly sprinkle the top of the baked sponge cake base with flour, turn it out onto a baking sheet, remove the baking paper while still warm (if there was any on it), and roll it up and wrap it up again (you can also use a tea towel). Do it while still warm, because if it cools down it will break and cannot be rolled.

Another kitchen trick with Haas Natural baking powder:

You can save burnt pots by sprinkling baking powder on the bottom, filling it with warm water, then putting the pot on the stove the next morning and boiling it out. This will definitely remove the "burn" and the burnt food residue.

Storage

Store in a dry, cool place, protected from sunlight and frost.
