The Importance of Sugar in Baking
Texture
You need to use the right sugar because it is important for your texture. Sugar likes to bind with water, preventing the proteins from becoming over-hydrated.
If you want your baked goods to stay tender instead of rubbery, you need to use the right sugar.
Color
Sugar is also important for providing your baked goods with the right color. As sugar is heated, it turns brown, enriching the flavor of your baked goods.
If you want that nice, brown color, you need to use the right sugar.
Flavor
Yes, sugar will make things sweet, but it can also help to bring out other flavors.
Sugar will react with the other proteins in the dish through the Maillard-Browning reaction, giving you the best possible flavor.
How are Sugar Sweeteners Used in Baking?
Sugar sweeteners are used in a variety of ways in baking. Some of the ways sweeteners can be used in baking include:
Granulated Sugar: This is table sugar. It leads to a clean, straight sweetness that is ideal for creating light crumbs, aerating batters, and adding a crisp texture to your baked goods.
Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar is also known as confectioners sugar. This is granulated sugar that is ground until it is a light, fine powder. This is perfect for frosting, icing, and dusting your baked goods. It dissolves relatively quickly into a substance that is easy to spread. You can use it to give your baked goods a dense texture.
Brown Sugar: This is refined sugar with molasses in it. It is typically light brown or gold, and it has some caramel notes to it. It is commonly used in muffins, cakes, and cookies.
