In today's Baking Fundamentals lesson of Baking School we are diving in deep into the sweet stuff, sugar! When we think about how ingredients function in baking, sugar is the first one that comes to my mind. And while we all know the obvious function of sugar in baking, that it makes things sweet, it actually serves many other functions.
Today let’s review all of sugar’s various functions in baking as well as all of the different varieties of sugar and how they function differently. This lesson is not going to go in depth about alternative sugar such as liquid sweeteners, and sugar substitutes, rather will focus on traditional sugar in its many forms and how it functions in baking.

Welcome to day 6 of the fundamentals course! Did you know sugar played such a huge role in the structure of you baked goods?
I learned so much about sugar, this was a great lesson. Thank you :) Is there a preferred pan to use for the Angel food cake?
So glad you enjoyed it! Yes, an angel food cake is traditionally baked in a tube pan! This is the recipe I use: bakerbettie.com/how-to-make-angel-food-cake/
Functions of sugar:
1. Sweetens and adds flavour
2. Promotes browning
3. Holds onto the moisture
4. Tenderises
5. Leavens
6. Stabilises
7. Garnishes and decorates
You got it!
Bettie, your videos provide so much useful info that save me days. This was the exact type of tutorial that I was looking for. In just half an hour, I know whats going on scientifically. Especially the comparisons were really helpful.. Thx a millon!!!
So glad to hear it was helpful for you!
High school student here, I'm taking a foods class, and this was one of the first videos given to us to watch. This video helped me quite a bit, so thank you. 😀
These were posted a while ago but they’ve been so helpful! They’re thorough, organized, and clear thank you so much.
Happy to help!
Hey there! I'm a junior in highschool looking to not only learn how to bake, but also learn how everything plays a part in the recipe, and these videos definitely help a lot in teaching, so thanks for that!
I'm so glad!
i just happened to watch this the same day we had a recipe issue at work. adjusting the sugar was a major factor in solving the problem and i couldnt have done it without your videos!
I LOVE your channel, my food science professor suggested us to watch your videos! They're great! You actually help inspire me with making my own channel one day!!
That's so great to hear!
Have you ever thought about adding a segment on "thickening and gelling agents in baking"?
Today I decided to learn how to bake online and I'm so lucky that your videos are what I found first. I don't need any other. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Learned a lot! Can you substitute in liquid sweeteners like agave or maple syrup for cane or beet sugar? What about stevia? Thanks(:
Hi. I am very happy to learn so much from your videos. I am a beginner in baking. So I thought of really learning and knowing more about baking. I saw your videos and liked it so much. Thank you so much. It is really helpful.
You're welcome!
New subscriber! Your videos are so helpful! Thank you. Please continue producing content.
Thank you for this information. I never understood how sugar worked in baking at this level!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for all this information has helped me loads
Glad to hear it!
Learned so much from your vids! Thank you ❤
If I want to make macaroons and cookies can I cut down the sugar without ruining the recipes?
I had tried to make cookies with different shortening but was not sure as how sugar plays its role. just got much clear with your video...Thankyou.
Question: which sugar makes biscuit more light and less tough granulated or refined
Hi Bettie.. your videos are very useful. I did my homework assignment - angel food cake. It came out excellent. My family loved it and it is very very soft. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Bettie! Extremely useful information!
Wow! Simply wow! Thanks so very much!
Have you experimented with using sugar substitutions? I am learning how to make challah bread specifically but wondered if my preferred use of coconut sugar is hindering the proofing of yeast and overall structure of the bread/leaven development.
This was amazing, thank you! I am not a fan of how sweet many baked goods are and I'm looking to cut down on sugar in recipes. But now I'm not sure if I'll be able to! I'll experiment for sure
Great information I thought it just made goods tasty😁
Useful information..thank you.
God Bless Baker Bettie
Your top is adorable!
Thanks for your teaching video.
You're welcome Elenor! Hope you enjoyed it!
Very well done. Articulate intelligent and very pretty! Well done girl!!!
Thanks!
Great lesson! Thanks alot
Hi! I have granulated brown sugar. Can that be used in place of packed brown sugar for cakes,cookies, or brownies?
Great tips..
Glad you found them helpful!
Hi. Do white granulated sugar and confectioner sugar function the same? For example, if the recipe stated "sugar", can I use either granulated or confectioner? Also, do they weigh the same? Example, if it calls for 7 ounces of sugar, is 7 ounces of granulated and 7 ounces of confectioner just the same or will that result in a huge amount of difference? Thanks!
Hi Gwen, great question. If a recipe states "sugar" you should always assume granulated though if a recipe is written properly it should specify type of sugar. Confectioners sugar has an anti-caking agent added to it, typically cornstarch. So while you might be substituting the same amount of sugar by weight, you are also adding in another ingredient that granulated sugar doesn't contain and this will change the texture of your baked good. This can sometimes be desirable. For instance shortbread cookies made with confectioners sugar have a softer, more melt in your mouth, texture. But it can also lead to baked goods being dried out. You can definitely play around with it and see what happens. But you would want to stick with granulated if the recipe calls for it if you want the intended results!
Baker Bettie Great! Will keep that in mind. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your valuable information. I have a question i.e. Do baking soda and baking powder work and react in doughs without sugar or any sweeteners. I have seen videos in which baking powder is added to salty doughs to make samosas.
Sugar does not affect the way baking soda or baking powder work except if using brown sugar as the acidic ingredient to activate the baking soda. If there is another acidic ingredient present though, it doesn't matter. You can hear me talk more about baking soda and baking powder here: ruclips.net/video/t-iLoMGnsto/видео.html
Thank you so much. You've helped a lot
Glad to hear that!
Thanks for the video very helpful!!🙌
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
awesome info. Thx
Glad it was helpful!
How do you thumb downs science 🤯🙄 this was an excellent video
This is incredibly interesting! Thank you. It just would be easier to focus if the annoying music was removed. Is saying "actually", and "you want to" (meaning you should) an American dialect?
This video is awesome, glad to find your channel
I'm glad you found it helpful!
hi, do you have a list of baking ingredients you keep on hand? or do you buy in as needed
Here are the items that I always keep on hand: flour, white granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, dry yeast, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, eggs, vegetable oil, and usually whole milk or heavy cream. Everything else I buy as needed. Hope that helps!
thank you very much@@BakerBettie
Very informative
Thank you sooooooo much
You're welcome!
Can we use apple sauce to substitute sugar? Since in that way we would have evaporated the water from apples and we get a more concentrated form of the fruit sugar
Hi Omar, applesauce does not work well for most traditional baking as a substitute for sugar. It has far too much liquid and sugar plays many scientific functions in baking other than making things sweet. If you want recipes sweetened with applesauce I would suggest looking for those that are specifically developed that way. Substituting it in a recipe developed with sugar likely won't work very well.

Hi Bettie,
Thanks for such an informative video. I have a question..
I bake a carrot cake which uses half white sugar and half light brown. Baking soda is used as the leavening agent. I wanted to cut down on sugar quite a bit so since it's a simple blended cake, I reduced both sugars by 50% . The cake turned out very soft and delicious except that it had a slight taste of baking soda which is never the case with regular sugar quantity as per the recipe. Does sugar also play a role in making any taste of soda?
Plz advise. .
Thanks

How do i become a student and further my education in baking
Hi, you can find my e-courses here: betterbakingschool.com/
Would like to know how to use cashew's honey
I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that!
I notice.wen i put less sugar my cakes are dry
O well
Hi
I thought she was going to tell us what ratios to use when substituting sugars like 1 tbs of brown is ... of white and ... of granulated.
Like she did with the eggs.
So I want to make a cake but the recipe I'm using is calling for equal parts flour and sugar (1 and a half cups each). (It's only granulated white sugar) can I cut down the sugar? Will the texture be affected?
Hi Lily, yes it will definitely affect the texture. Sugar plays a big role in keeping a cake moist and also with the leavening. You can try to cut it down a little bit, but again, your results will definitely be different than the original. If you are worried about the sugar content I would search for a cake recipe specifically written to have less sugar in it.
@@BakerBettie Thank you so much! One more question, what's your opinion on Vanilla Concentrate Vs Extract? It's impossible to get vanilla extract/paste where I live but 'Sugarflairs Vanilla Concentrate' is available... Should I use it?
ahhh thats why my sugar free banana muffins looked so fucked up
your teapot, title and sweater are all the same color 😀
It's my favorite color!
Don't forget the eyes.
DEEPGNOSTIC arent they gorgeous... but not turquoise, blue! (at least in the video)
I love the explanation but the music in the background is very distracting. Why people do this in their videos I don't know. Either talk or play music. It really is grating and hard to concentrate on what's actually being said.
Show some cookie pictures..geez
