Week 4 Intro & Weekly Discussion - Sweet and Salty!

Hello Bakers, and welcome to week 4! This week’s theme is Sweet and Salty! Salt is arguably the most important ingredient in day-to-day cooking and should not be overlooked in baking! Salt naturally enhances the flavor of everything around it. Used alongside sweet flavors (even just as a finisher), salt offers a contrast that can make your bake taste richer and more complex.

Here are a few example recipes:

Salted butterscotch creme brulee (torch required!)

Salted caramel butter bars.

Potato Chip Cookies - This sounds pretty weird, but actually like it might be amazing?!

We encourage you to share why you chose your particular recipe/challenge and tell us how it went. If you've completed every challenge of the new year so far, congratulations! If you're just now jumping in, welcome and happy baking!
