    Finally a baker with a technical understanding of baking. Please do stick to more science like another commenter said, but this was pretty damn good too

      Glad you enjoyed it! I try to explain approachable baking science. I don't want to over complicate it as it can overwhelm the everyday baker and for most day to day baking that information really isn't necessary. If you are interested in more in depth information I highly recommend the book "On Food and Cooking"

    Fun fact: medium eggs and large eggs have the same amount of yolk, never more unless it's a double yolk. The bigger the egg the more egg WHITE. Brown and white eggs are the same it just depends on the EARLOBE of the chicken 😊

    Thanks. I needed that. I started baking a lot of dessrts high in protein so I am beginning to know the tricks on wha ingredients to replace traditional ones. I wanted to know when to use the yoke and when I can do without it. Am I right to say that if I do a protein banana bread there is already a lot of moisture in the bananas and I shouldn't need the yoke?

    • @BakerBettie

      You could likely leave out the yolk in a banana bread! I haven't tried it but you could definitely try.

      I'm wondering if it's underbaked. If it hasn't set yet it will deflate. Also make sure you aren't opening your oven door at all until it's completely set or the change in temperature can cause it to deflate.
