Baking is a cooking method that involves using dry heat to cook food. While bread is the item most commonly associated with baking, baking can also be applied to desserts, meats, vegetables, and other foods. Baking ingredients like baking powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and even spices are the foundation of this cooking method. Different baking ingredients have different content for calories as well as varying nutritional value. Check the nutrition label for each item or the calorie chart provided in this section to determine the nutritional information for each item.
There are many different types of flour, all with varying calorie counts. If you refer to the nutrition label for all-purpose flour, you will notice that most of the calories come from carbs. Certain alternative flours, like almond flour and coconut flour, have fewer carbs and provide good nutritional value. The nutrition facts vary greatly from one type of flour to the next so refer to the nutrition label or the calorie chart below for certain types of flour to determine the calories and nutritional information.
