How to Start Baking
Baking involves the preparation of food using flour, eggs (or sugar), butter, or both. The main ingredients used in baking are flour, fats, sugars, leavening agents, salt, and water.

These ingredients must be combined in order to bake bread. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour yeast, salt) and add them to the bowl. Then add the wet ingredients (milk powder, egg white). Combine them. Add the honey to the dough and knead it until smooth. Let the dough rise for around 30 minutes. After rising, the dough should be light and soft. You can roll the dough out and place on a baking pan. Bake at 180degC for 15 minutes.
