Baking is a cooking technique that involves cooking food in an oven, or other cooking appliance, using dry heat. This method is typically used for baking bread, pastries, cakes, and other desserts.
During baking, the dry heat causes the food's outer layer to brown and become crispy while the interior is cooked through. Baking can be done using different types of ovens, such as gas, electric, or convection ovens, and requires careful attention to temperature and timing to ensure that the food is cooked to perfection.
