What’s the difference between baking soda and baking powder?
Short answer: Acid. But it can make a big difference for baked goods.
Baking soda has only one ingredient: sodium bicarbonate.
All baking powders contain a combination of sodium bicarbonate (just like baking soda) plus another acid.
Still not sure you’ll remember the difference between these two ingredients? Reid has a quick trick: Think baking soda = single ingredient. Baking powder = poof in the oven.
Bread flour has more protein than cake flour.
