Hello Everyone!
I am new at this forum. First of all, I want to tell you that I am not good at cooking but have some interest in baking. Actually, I recently got married (three months ago, yes not much recent 😁) and willing to learn bake and cook perfect food at home. I tried to bake bread, cakes and even cookies at home. Cakes bake easily, but according to my husband, these are not as fluffy as we get from the bakery. Secondly, if I talk about bread, then it also turns dry and hard. Sometimes, I tried to add more yeast to add some air but didn't get desired results and only got a stomachache. At the last, never I got successful in making a delicate cookie.
Sometimes, I also thought o change my oven. I use an old Japnese oven that is only being used for baking. As I found many videos that teach how to use a toaster oven for baking with some settings, I am planning to get a smart countertop oven. Do you think is it the solution to my problem. If yes, then please suggest a good oven ( https://bestazy.com/best-countertop-oven/ ) for me that is helpful for both cooking and baking. I am not willing to get an oven for the baking purpose only. Actually, I am fed up of using my stovetop oven that why want to go with smart technology.
I understand to learn baking and cooking is an easy job and I would try to get advice from your other posts too but just guide me with some beginner recommendations according to my problems.
