What do I have to pay attention to when baking in a jar?
When baking in your FAVORITE JAR there are a few things you should know and keep in mind: 1. Now you use your FAVORITE JAR as a baking pan. If it is required in the recipe, you can grease your jars beforehand as usual or dust them with flour so that the contents do not stick later. 2. To avoid overflow, it is best to only fill the glass about 2/3 full with the dough. This will leave some space at the top and the cake will have enough room to grow thanks to the baking powder or yeast. 3. Cakes in a jar have a much shorter baking time due to the smaller amount. Do a quick toothpick test halfway through the original baking time. Stick a toothpick into the dough and pull it out again - if no dough sticks, the cake is ready. 4. You can bake your FAVORITE JAR at the highest temperature in a standard oven without any problem. To make sure the bread is nice and crispy, you can bake it at up to 230°C. But make sure that the jar is not exposed to large temperature fluctuations, otherwise it could break. Do not put a very cold or frozen jar directly into the oven or into hot water. 5. If you prepare cakes, brownies or bread in a jar, you not only save unnecessary (paper) waste, but also money, as you can use the jars again and again and don't need paper cases or baking paper. You can also take the jars nicely wrapped and decorated to the next party - as we all know, eating is also a visual treat ;-) Glasses with a WIDE Mouth are particularly suitable because you can easily pour the contents onto a plate or simply eat directly from the glass with a spoon.
Prepare baked goods in a jar or preserve them for later
Baked goods in jars are super easy to prepare ! If you are expecting guests, you can fill the dough into jars a few days in advance and store them in the freezer. Then, when it's showtime, slowly defrost them and then bake them in the oven. You can also bake bread or cake in a jar and then preserve it for several months! Without defrosting and baking, you always have your favorite baked goods to hand and ready to eat. "Preserving" bread or cake sounds a bit unusual at first, but it's an absolute game changer once you've tried it. We have another tip for you: make the dough a little more liquid than usual, around 10-15%. This way, the cake stays soft in the jar and doesn't dry out so quickly.Chocolate cake with liquid center in a glass
