Baked Goods
The term baked goods encompasses a wide range of delicious treats made from dough or batter, and which are cooked in an oven.
These can be sweet or savoury, and they play a central role in many cultures.
Common sweet baked goods include cakes, biscuits, muffins, doughnuts, and pastries, offering a variety of textures from light and fluffy to dense and indulgent. Popular treats like scones, croissants, and puff pastry are often favourites at breakfast or afternoon tea.
Savoury baked goods, such as bread, quiches, and savoury pies, serve as staples for everyday meals, while items like cheese rolls or garlic bread add flavour and variety to the table.
Many baked goods are versatile and can be made with different fillings, toppings, or flavourings to suit personal tastes, such as adding chocolate chips to cookies, fruit to muffins, or herbs to bread. Whether simple or elaborate, baked goods are a comforting and satisfying part of both casual meals and special celebrations.
