AboutElyse Grau Expertise I can answer any questions about baking. The only thing I'm not too good at is baking pies, nor do I know much about high altitude baking.
Experience I have been baking for over 30 years. One of my hobbies is creating recipes, most of those for baked goods. I made my own wedding cake. Currently I prefer to bake healthier things. I use a lot of whole wheat and other whole grain flours, and prefer to use less sugar or sugar substitutes in my baking. I do a lot with fruit.
Question When I bake biscuits or breads they are tough and heavy instead of light and flaky or fluffy. Where am I going wrong?
Answer Dawn-
I need more information. Biscuits and bread are two different types of dough and the reasons might be different. Please tell me what kind of each you are making, and what kind of flour you are using. Do you make them all by hand or do you use a mixer or food processor? The more you can tell me the better I can help.
