Why Add Salt to Sweet Baked Goods: You Probably Didn't Know
Many baking recipes feature salt as a main ingredient.
However, if we are talking about a sweet dish, many housewives wonder whether it is really necessary in the dough.
Culinary expert of HERE NEWS, cook and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will share with you information about why they do this.
What role does salt play in dough?
There are several good reasons why you shouldn’t neglect this ingredient and should definitely add it to the dough.
Let's remember that salt is an additive that improves the taste of dishes, therefore, the same thing happens in the case of baking. And the dough without a bit of salt ends up bland.
The second reason is to maintain the necessary level of moisture inside the mass. Salt helps to release liquid and maintain juiciness, and without it the dough may be too dry.
Salt is also necessary if you are preparing the dough from wheat flour. The seasoning can improve the elasticity of the dough by strengthening the gluten.
