Baking can seem kind of magical. You take a bunch of ingredients mix them together put them in the oven and

a little time passes and you have cake or cookies or bread, but there's no magic wand involved in a process

It's chemistry today. We're going to learn all about the science of baking keep listening

You're listening to brains on from mp. R news and Southern California Public Radio. I'm Molly Bloom
