Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent widely used in baking applications. Unlike baking soda, it contains both base and acid components, allowing it to work without additional acidic ingredients. It ensures consistent rise and texture in baked products.
Baking powder is a ready-to-use leavening ingredient consisting of sodium bicarbonate, one or more acid salts, and a moisture-absorbing agent. It releases carbon dioxide when mixed with liquid and heat, causing dough or batter to rise.
