Product type
Baking powder is a leavening agent commonly used in baking to help dough rise. It typically contains a combination of an acid, a base, and a filler, which reacts when moistened and heated to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas forms bubbles in the dough, causing it to expand and create a light, airy texture in baked goods. Baking powder is essential for recipes such as cakes, muffins, and biscuits.
