Here are Matthews Cotswold Flour's top tips for celebrating World Baking Day on Sunday 19th May:
-
Top of the list is to bake something. Whether you are a regular baker or a complete novice, there are plenty of sweet and savoury recipes on the internet to inspire you!
-
If you are already an experienced baker, encourage a non-baking friend to give a simple recipe a try and enjoy sharing your skills as you help them bake it!
-
Immerse yourself in a morning of baking and enjoy the relaxation and mindfulness benefits of switching off from the stresses of everyday life.
-
Get the kids involved and help them understand the science of baking.
-
Try a new recipe such as this one for Red Velvet Cookies.
-
Join an online baking community such as the Cotswold Flour Baking Club for inspiration, recipes, discounts, competitions and baking support.
-
Set up a bake sale and raise money for a worthy cause.
-
Invite friends and family over to enjoy your freshly baked wares.
Sophie Carey, Bakery Development Manager for Matthews Cotswold Flour, says: “'Baking is one of the most ancient crafts and it is just as important today as it ever has been! Whether you bake at home as a hobby, or as a professional – bringing fresh bread, cakes, and pastries to a hungry crowd is incredibly rewarding. Baking as a hobby is amazing for increasing mindfulness and improving mental health, and it's incredibly accessible too! Anyone can learn to bake, the most important thing is to give it a go and to persevere – even baking disasters often taste delicious! Learning to bake also gives you more control over what you feed your family, and teaching children to bake gives them skills for life. There's no better way to relax than with a homemade cookie and a cup of tea!”
