Learning the baking basics for beginners will give you an edge above other bakers. Baking is far much more than just mixing ingredients. Baking is a science that involves chemical reactions to bring about a final product.

What is Baking?

Baking is the method of preparing food using dry heat usually in an oven. People have created other means of baking with hot stones or hot ashes over time. This helps people who do not have access to ovens.

With so many recipes accessible everywhere, it may be very confusing for a beginner. This post helps to give you a guide on 10 basic baking ingredients used in baking and their functions.

Baking is an exciting and rewarding hobby that has been around for centuries. It’s a great way to relax, express your creativity, and enjoy delicious treats. However, if you’re new to baking, the process can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve put together these beginners baking basics to help you get started.


[center]BEGINNERS BAKING BASICS[/center]

MOST USED INGREDIENTS FOR BEGINNERS
Flour
Flour is a powder made from grinding cereal grains. It is good for baking cakes, pastries and bread. There are several types of flour, they include:

1. All purpose Flour– Best used for all types of cakes, pastries and bread.
2. Cake Flour– Best used for cakes, muffins and biscuits.
3. Pastry Flour– Best used for cakes, muffins, pancakes, biscuits, pie crusts and bread sticks.
4. Bread Flour– Best used for breads and pizza dough.
5. Self Rising Flour– Best used for pancakes, biscuits and scones.
6. Whole Wheat Flour– Best used for cookies, breads, pancakes, pizza dough and pasta.
7. White Whole Wheat Flour– Best used for bread, muffins and cookies.
8. Gluten free Flour– Best used for cakes, muffins, pancakes and bread.
9. Al mond Flour– Best used for cookies, muffins, pancakes, biscuits and bread.
10. 00 Flour– An Italian type of flour that has a super fine texture with the ability to be rolled extremely thin without breaking. It is best good for pasta, pizza dough, crackers, couscous, flat breads and thin crust.
The best way to store flour is in an airtight container and in a dry and dark place like a store or a pantry to enable it last long and fresh.

Sugar
Sugar keeps baked foods moist and soft. It combines perfectly with water to lock in moisture in cakes, muffins, breads and other pastries so they do not dry out easily.

Sugar gives sweetness to baked foods, it is important for creaming batters. It also helps to activate yeast for fermentation. Sugar also helps to improve and increase the life span/shelf life of baked foods.

It is safe to say that sugar is indispensable in baking. Although, recently, recipes excluding sugar are developing to create room for people living with diabetes to also enjoy baked foods.

Sugar can be stored in an odour free airtight container and in a cool place. DO NOT store sugar in a refrigerator as moisture makes it lumpy and difficult to use.

Eggs
Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. The reason is because they contain all the nutrients required to turn a single cell to a baby.

In baking, chicken eggs are commonly used. Eggs play an important role in baking and food production. They provide stability and structure and they also help to give moisture to baked foods. Because of their high protein content, they help to bind ingredients together.

It is important to use FRESH EGGS in baking and food production. The fresher the eggs, the better the flavour. Fresh eggs also help cakes and pastries rise at their best.

How can you tell that your eggs are still fresh?
I know you’re beginning to understand the baking basics. Let’s carry on.

Butter
Butter is a dairy product that comprises of fat and protein components. Butter contributes flavour and texture to baked foods and products. Without it, cakes and pastries would not be rich.

Mostly, unsalted and salted butters are used in baking and food production.

Unsalted butter is a mildly sweet butter that’s best for baking. Because it is not salted, you’re left with the pure taste and flavors of the churned cream, so you can maintain control of the flavors in your baking recipe.

Salted butter has about 1/4 teaspoon of salt added for every 4 oz. of butter. Even though it seems like a small amount, it makes a difference in taste. The extra salt helps the flavors in your recipe pop while also maintaining the freshness of your butter for longer.

Store or preserve butter in the fridge in a grease proof paper or an aluminium foil to keep it fresh. You can also keep it in an air tight container at room temperature for one or two days.

Margarine
Margarine is a spread for flavouring, baking, and cooking. It is a substitute for butter. Although it is originally an extract from animal fats, most margarine today are from vegetable oil. Margarine is a useful substitute for butter in making American Buttercream.

Salt
Salt is an essential ingredient in baking.

The functions of salt in baking include stabilizing the yeast fermentation rate, strengthening the dough, enhancing the flavour of the final product, and increasing dough mixing time.

Another role of salt in baking is preservation. Because salt attracts moisture, it helps to keep your baked goods fresh for longer. Salt helps to balance the sweetness of sugar. Remember not to skip salt in your baking process when your recipe calls for it.

How excited are you to learn about these baking basics? Let’s go on

Baking Powder
Baking powder is an essential ingredient in producing baked foods. It is complete leavening agent. It is a combination of Sodium Bicarbonate and powdered weak acid.

Baking powder needs only moisture and heat to activate it. It is usually used in recipes that do not call for an acidic ingredient.

It is best preserved in a dry air tight container.

To test the freshness of baking powder, simply add a teaspoon of baking powder into a glass of hot water. If it bubbles, it is still active.

Baking Soda
Baking soda is completely Sodium Bicarbonate with nothing else added to it. In every recipe that calls for baking soda, an acid is always needed to activate it.

Acids used in activating baking soda include white vinegar, lemon juice, yogurt and buttermilk. Baking soda is usually used in recipes that require an acidic ingredient.

Baking Soda is best preserved in a dry airtight container.

To test the freshness of baking soda, simply add a teaspoon of it to some white vinegar. If it bubbles, it is still active.

Vegetable Oil
Some recipes call for the use of vegetable oil. You can substitute melted butter for vegetable oil in recipes that call for melted butter.

Canola oil is the best for baking. Most vegetable oils will work just fine in cake but be sure to use fine, odourless oil for baked goods.

Cocoa Powder
Cocoa powder is an unsweetened powder that adds chocolate flavour to baked goods such as brownies, cookies, cakes, and various other dessert recipes.

There is unsweetened cocoa powder, natural cocoa powder, dark cocoa powder, Dutch process cocoa powder, and black cocoa powder.



The above are the 10 most using baking basic ingredients for beginners.

The Kulture Review presents another list of carefully curated movies for you to binge this weekend. let go of the week stress, cozy up in bed and just get entertained, from biographical pictures to action, to drama, and comedy, we got you covered. Lets dive in;

GREY GARDENS.


Grey Gardens is a 2009 television drama that follows the biographical documentary of the same name.

The drama went on to win multiple Emmys in the limited series/television drama category. The drama stars Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore in the lead as Edith Beale Bouvier (Big Edie), and her daughter Edith (Little Edie).

The aforementioned pair spend their life inseparable, as they try to hold on to their family mansion, Grey Gardens, even in its dilapidated conditions.

The family makes front page, and even gets a documentary about their life. This article gets the attention of America because they are cousin and aunt of First Lady Jackie Kennedy.

Both Drew and Lange deliver amazing portrayals of their characters, their chemistry is seamless. The movie explores themes of sacrifice, motherhood, family, and it’s a 9/10.

AEON FLUX.


Unlike most reports, Aeon Flux actually hits the mark. It is Charlize Theron doing what she does best, kicking ass.

Charlize stars in the lead as Aeon, a secret agent who works for the Monicans. The Monicans are a secret group within the community that seeks to overthrow the government.

When Aeon is employed to kill the chairman, she is exposed to a whole new world of revelation. The movie is quite predictable but the story progression is quite entertaining for everyone who is a fan of the genre.

The cast does a fantastic job, especially Charlize, Sophie Okonedo, and Frances McDormand. The cinematography, the images are very unique to the movie, not to mention captivating.

If the animated series impressed you.

Then this will blow you away. The movie is a 7/10

BABY MAMA.


All you need to convince you to see this comedy is the cast names, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. If this review ends here and you go to see the movie, you still won’t be disappointed.

When Tina Fey and Amy Poehler come together, it is a match made in comedy heaven for the real-life best friends. Tina Fey’s character, Kate is a single successful business class woman who just discovered she is infertile.

Kate employs the help of a surrogate who soon transitions to become her housemate, all in her attempt to be nice. From here on you know how the story goes, it is quite predictable.

Due to the recent political issues, some part may come off as racist. In the beginning, you hear, “Don’t get a black baby, I’ve had it with all these movie stars, showing off, look at me and my black baby”.

However, the movie is a 7/10, because you kind of expect more from the pair but regardless it leaves your ribs cracking.

IRON LADY.


The movie stars Meryl Streep, what other convincing do you require.

The movie chronicles life after office for Britain’s first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. Meryl Streep plays Margaret, whose character she has publicly spoken out against.

Kingerons am yet to see 4g in many cities talk more of 3G yet the government intend approving 5G. These service providers haven't spread their 4G network countrywide yet some are clamouring for 5g. To me it is unnecessary even at this time when we are still battling with the pandemic. 5G can wait till this plague end in fact enlightenment about it now may not have effect. Wait for the appropriate time to enlighten Nigerians

Does life have to be on hold because of the pandemic? The world can't stop rotating because of the Corona virus.

alkines:
Educate yourselves no, now someone is trying educate you and you are there standing still on your ingorance.

Well Said!

The first country to adopt 5G on a large scale was South Korea, in April 2019. Commercial 5G has now reached over 39 countries in the World. However, 5G has not been launched in Nigeria.

5G Network Launch in Nigeria

You might have heard that MTN and Airtel are currently planting 5G facilities in Lagos, Calabar, Abuja and other states. Demo 5G is only what is currently being tested in Nigeria. Real 5G Network may be approved in Nigeria before the end of the year 2021.

Phones like the Samsung Galaxy S20 and Huawei P40 Pro already support 5G Network. Apple iPhone 12 is rumored to be a 5G enabled phone too. 5G uses radio waves to transmit and receive data between an antenna or mast and your 5G phone.

15 Facts About 5G Network In Nigeria
1. 5G Network doesn’t cause Coronavirus
2. It is not the reason for increased Coronavirus cases in Nigeria.
3. There is a difference between Radiowaves and Radioactivity. 5G is just a radio Wave.
4. The wavelength of 5G is very small compared to x-rays and gamma Rays.
5. 5G doesn’t alter your DNA. But x-rays could if exposure is too long. Gamma Rays will always alter.
6. MTN Nigeria demoed 5G network in November 2019.
 7. Most African countries, including Nigeria, are yet to assign the 5G spectrum.
8. Nigeria and other countries that don’t have 5G still have coronavirus cases
9. The radio waveband used for mobile networks is non-ionising, “which means it lacks sufficient energy to break apart DNA and cause cellular damage.
10. Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) plans 5G to roll out in 2020.
11. Although 5G was approved for trial in Nigeria in 2019, Pantami said the government will not act on the speculations about the network.

The Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra are the latest Samsung Phones in the market. These are the phones you had anticipated to be the Samsung Galaxy S11. Samsung actually jumped from Galaxy S10 to S20.

Samsung decided to go extreme this year. I will love to share with you guys some of the amazing reasons why you need the new Samsung Galaxy Series in your pocket very soon. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra will be our focus.

10 Amazing Things About the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Specs

1. DISPLAY
The Samsung Galaxy s20 Series has the best display on any smartphone presently. It comes with dynamic AMOLED, 240Hz Touch Response and 120 Hz Display.

120Hz Refresh Rate on the S20 Ultra makes everything look faster compared to phones with the traditional 60Hz display.

2. SPACE ZOOM
The Galaxy S20 has a 100 Times Zoom feature which is a response to the Huawei P30 50 Times Zoom.

Where the Galaxy S10 or even the iPhone 11 Pro can only do 2x telephoto zoom, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has a 10x optical and 100x digital zoom. The Galaxy S20 Ultra does this with a 48MP “folded lens” below the other cameras on the phone.

3. Camera
I love the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra versatile cameras. 4 Back Cameras (108 Mega Pixels + 48MP + 12MP + Time of Flight Camera). These are the Main, Ultra-wide, ToF and Telephoto Cameras.

4. RAM and Storage
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra comes with a 16GB RAM and up to 1.5 Terabyte Storage. With the new Samsung Series, storage is not a problem at all.

5. Processor and Network.
Galaxy S20 features the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor (865 SoC) and Samsung’s own Processor Exynos 990 SoC (7nm). Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, and Galaxy S20 Ultra are all 5G Phones.

6. Ability to Shoot 8k Videos
Samsung is the first phone to offer 8k Video Capability and 100 times zoom too. Recording and watching 8k videos on the phone is super amazing. That right there is a Cinema Standard.

7. Battery
Samsung has improved when it comes to battery capacity. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra packs a huge 5000mAh Battery.

8. Reverse Charging.
Just like the Galaxy S10, the S20 can charge other Phones. It also has a super turbo charging feature. Very Fast!

9. Curved Display.

After writing your JAMB and checking your JAMB result. Now, What Next? What are the things to do after the JAMB Exam?

Also, know this! Failing JAMB is not the end of life and it doesn’t mean that you are a failure. NO! Time and chance happen to everything. You can do better next year and get your admission.

Now, for those of you who passed Jamb, congratulations. But there is still much to do. You must put structures in place so that you don’t fail to gain admission. Passing is not a guarantee that your admission is sure.

Things To Do After Jamb 2020

1. Know Your Score And Institution Cut Off Mark:
Check your Jamb score and see whether you reached your choice of institution cut off mark. If yes, good… But if no, see number 3.

SEE ALSO: JAMB Cut off Mark for 2020/2021 Admission in Nigerian Schools

2. Know Your Course Specific Cut Off Mark:
You need to know your course-specific cut off mark or departmental cut off mark. After confirming that you have crossed your school’s general cut off mark, the next step is to see whether you can be admitted with your score.

3. Consider Whether To Change School Or Course:
If your score is not enough for your first choice school, then consider getting a change of institution form.

4. Be Patient:
After Jamb, there usually this zeal to go to school. You have to wait for Post Utme forms to be out. Calm down so that your blood pressure doesn’t rise above normal.

5. Learn A Skill:
Jamb releases the first batch admission status around September. You have a lot of time to learn a skill or find a job.

6. Be Updated About Your School’s Screening Form and Date:
Stay connected to MyInfoConnect.com to keep track of when Post UTME Form and Exam dates will be announced.

7. Wait For Your School’s Admission List:
After your admission screening exercise, the next thing is to wait for your school to release the Admission list. This is the list of candidates that have been admitted into the institution for that particular academic session. The admission list is usually released a month or two after the admission screening exercise.

8. Go for Your Admission Clearance/Registration:
If your name is on your school’s admission list, that means you have been offered provisional admission. CONGRATULATIONS!

To confirm your admission you will be required to undergo clearance and registration process in the school you have been offered provisional admission. After that, you are a bonafide student of that school.

Have you been asking questions like “What phone should I buy?” or looking for a guide like “please help me choose a smartphone“. In this article, we shall take a look at 7 important things you must consider before buying a new phone in 2020.

Buying a new mobile phone has sort of now been made easier because there are a number of different types of mobile phones available in the market today. This difference ranges from sizes, shapes, designs, styles, and specifications.

Things to Consider Bef0re Buying A New Phone
1. The Operating System
There are three major operating systems: iOS, Android, and Windows. All of them have their different pros and cons you should look into carefully before making your decision.

Android offers endless customizable possibilities, this is why it is gaining in popularity today.

Hence, if you are craving for a sophisticated look and unique design then iOS is your best choice. Windows may be the last option to catch up with the two other operating systems, but if you love to have an effective camera feature then it can be a great choice.

2. Memory
Phones have two kinds of memory – Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read-Only Memory (ROM). RAM, along with the processor of your phone, determines the speed of the phone and its ease of operation.

The ROM is the memory that is used to store the OS, apps and all the videos, photos and songs that you want to store on the phone.

Therefore, it stands to reason that phones with higher RAM will be faster and those with higher ROM will have more storage. An average user should be happy with a 2 GB RAM and 16 GB ROM. But if you are a heavy user, go for a phone with at least 4-6 GB RAM and 64-128GB ROM. To extend your ROM you can also use a micro SD memory card, but remember, apps that are stored and run from memory cards tend to be slower.

3. Battery
This is a majot issue for countries with electricity problems like Nigeria. If you are the kind of user who is likely to have multiple apps open simultaneously or you take a lot of pictures or you are a heavy consumer of video-streaming and gaming apps. Then you need a mobile phone with a good battery.

Heavy online usage tends to drain batteries faster. If you belong to this category of users, then it is better to go for a phone with a long-lasting battery of about 4500MAH

4. Screen Display
For the best user experience, a phone with a 6 – 6.5 -inch HD or QHD display is usually an ideal option. This will allow you to enjoy a rich media experience while being easy to carry in your pocket or purse. So go for something of this nature.

5. Processor
Much like smartphone cameras, there is a lot of hype about processors with jargon like quadcore, octa core, Snapdragon, MediaTek and so on. Here is a simple thumb rule. Look at the processing speed that is expressed in terms of GigaHertz (GHz).

The higher the speed, the faster the processor. If you are going to do a lot of photo/video editing or play online games and stream videos, opt for a faster processor which will be extremely beneficial to you.

6. Camera
Something important to note is that the camera or image quality does not come as a result of just MegaPixels. Good quality Photos are a function of factors like ISO levels, aperture as well as the speed of autofocus.

If you are likely to take a lot of pictures, then go for a phone with a 16 MP camera that has an aperture of f/2.0 or lower, for good results even in low light. If your use of the camera is not likely to be heavy, a phone with an 8-12 MP camera and aperture of f/2.2 should be fine for you.

7. The Budget
It is important to determine the price range that you can afford before buying a phone.

If you start searching for a new mobile blindly, it is very easy to be lost for choice because there are several smartphone options for you.

"Life changing opportunities you should never miss in the university". The university is an amazing place. It can be different to different people, depending on the mindset you use to approach it. To some, it can be a world of stress, to others, it can be a world of just fun and to some wise ones, it is a massive world of opportunities.

My Info Connect is here to enlighten you on some of the life changing opportunities you should never miss in the university.

HEADS UP! I’LL BE DROPPING A LIST OF SITES TO ACCESS THESE OPPORTUNITIES AND ALSO SOME DOCUMENTS YOU MIGHT NEED. STAY TUNED.

I have seen people move from being the small regular youngsters to being on the world map, just by keying in into these opportunities. For instance, I had a friend, Borokini, who wrote an essay and came in 3rd place in the international commonwealth essay competition. He was called for interviews round the world and was published in many newspapers. What an amazing stride!

I had a friend also, Izebe, now the President of the Nigerian Dental Students Association. He keyed into so many university opportunities and he motivated me to do so also. This is what has made him attain such a great height while still on campus. So, let me enlighten you on some of these opportunities you should never miss in the University.

RECOMMENDED: 7 Mistakes University Students Make In Their First Year

OPPORTUNITIES YOU SHOULD NEVER MISS IN THE UNIVERSITY




1.       LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS

Firstly, a scholarship is a grant or stipend to a student for his/her excellence. The beautiful thing about scholarships is that you do not have to be the best to get it. You just need to know the 5 laws on how to pass any scholarship exam you write. I see scholarships as a reward for your hard work towards your academics. No matter how stressful it might seem, try as much as possible to apply for scholarships. Just imagine the joy you get when you get that “gbagam” alert.

Furthermore, there are many scholarships available for university students. Both local and international scholarships. I am a beneficiary of university scholarships and you can be too. Trust My Info Connect to always keep you updated.

2.       FELLOWSHIPS

I know you might be wondering, but by fellowships here I do not mean religious fellowships. Rather, I mean a company of people that share the same interest or aim. Are you a medical student, a writer, a photographer, an engineering student, etc.? There are numerous scholarships available to you.

Furthermore, these scholarships are usually fully funded to countries like America, Canada, Rwanda, etc. By fully funded, I mean your transportation, accommodation, feeding, etc. is taken care of. All you need to do is to go there and share ideas and network with people in your niche. Trust My Info Connect to always keep you updated. Also, visit here for more updates.

Most of these skill training will definitely help you later in life and are usually organized by student bodies, NGO’s, Churches, etc. Find the one that best suits you and key in. Some skills to learn include

Web design
Catering
Hair dressing
Wood work
Photography, etc.
4.       STUDENT GRANTS

Apart from scholarships, there are many grants available to students, especially student entrepreneurs. Are you an entrepreneur with a good idea?

They offer grants to young entrepreneurs to help them kick start their dream businesses.
