Why is my banana bread not moist?
Moisture is key when it comes to banana bread, and the ratio of flour to banana makes all the difference. If you use too much flour, you’ll end up with dry bread. If you don’t use enough, your bread will be too wet. The secret is actually in how you measure the flour.
Why baking soda in banana bread?
Baking soda does more than make the bread rise. Balances the PH of the batter, which makes the loaf brown and has a darker crust and crumb. It also tenderizes by reducing the gluten formation in the batter.
What ingredient makes bread moist?
Fats keep the breads moist, so next time you bread are a little dry add a tablespoon or two of oil to your mixture. The same if you using yeast in a mixture, water will hydrate your mixture and help the yeast to rise. It activates the gluten and determines the volume of the loaf.
Can you use both baking soda and baking powder together?
Combining the two leavening agents produces a biscuit that is both light and tangy. In baking as in life, it’s all about balance. Many recipes need both kinds of reactions to achieve the intended overall balance of flavor and texture, which is why you’ll often see both baking soda and baking powder in a recipe.
