Truth: The vast list of baking ingredients you keep in your cupboard, fridge, and freezer is limited only by the space available. But if you're new to baking or you're setting up your first kitchen, you'll be glad to know that you can narrow the list to just nine ingredients. And, with these ingredients, you'll have everything to bake cookies, muffins, cakes, pies, and pancakes. Everything after that is icing on the cake, so to speak.
You'll see that the following list is broken out by category, such as flour, leavening, sugar, salt, etc. These are the essential building blocks of your baking pantry. Each category is divided into basic needs and next-level ingredients. Of course, one baker's next-level ingredient could be another's basic need. As you gain more baking experience, you'll start to figure out what's essential for you.
