Baking refers to a form of cooking that involves prolonged heating. Bakers usually use flour and eggs to bake. However, you can replace these baking ingredients with gluten-free alternatives.

In addition, baking involves an oven. However, you can use other cooking methods to make treats without an oven. These methods include steaming and deep-frying. When people think of baking, bread usually comes to mind. But baking doesn't just equate to bread. Other popular baked goods include cookies, cakes, muffins, and cupcakes.
