Is this trick the right way to use baking paper?/The Healthy Mummy/Facebook
Think you know how to bake and use baking paper?
Well, you should think again.
Baking paper, also known as parchment paper (referring to a type of paper that was made from animal skins and was widely produced in the city of Pergamon in Greece) is perhaps not the most complicated item to use in the kitchen and is often used to line cake pans or bread pans to prevent the delicate dough from sticking to the metal pan - But there is one problem with it.
If you're an avid baker, you've probably had quite a few failures trying to get the paper to stay in the pan while you're making the cake batter, as it often springs back to its original shape and doesn't mold to the shape of the pan.
But don't worry, a girl named Brianna shared a video on her TikTok that reveals the essence of the problem and presents an equally ingenious solution.
Everything is rooted in the English name of the paper - Parchment paper.
dry paper.
And that is the problem.
The baking paper is very dry, so what you need to do is moisten it a little under the tap and then put it inside the mold.
That's how it works

Brianna revealed in her video how the paper dampener fits perfectly into her bread pan without springing back.
She added: "Now he will do his job because he is no longer thirsty."
