It turns out that in a microwave oven you can not only cook first or main courses, but also use it for baking. The advantages over a conventional oven are that the dough is baked in the microwave faster, and the finished product is tender and airy.

Instructions
Step 1
Prepare baking utensils. It is forbidden to use a metal one to cook food in a microwave oven. Therefore, get special forms of glass, ceramics. Please note that the dishes must be made of heat-resistant material, as the dough, due to the sugar and fat content, heats up very much under the influence of microwaves. Also, choose pans with high sides because the dough rises better in the microwave than in the oven.
Step 2
Strictly observe the proportion of the products used to prepare the dough. Leave the food on the counter for 10-15 minutes, unless otherwise specified in the recipe. It is advisable to mix the ingredients at the same temperature.
Step 3
Stir all the ingredients for the dough especially thoroughly. This primarily concerns sugar. Undissolved sugar lumps can burn during baking. Make sure the dough is smooth and smooth. If you are preparing a recipe for a conventional oven, then increase the amount of liquid in the dough, especially if you are using a dry convenience food.
Step 4
Lubricate a baking dish with vegetable oil or butter. You can place a sheet of oiled paper on the bottom of the dish. Do not sprinkle the walls of the container with crumbs or flour. Do not fill out more than half of the form with dough. Pierce the damp pie in several places with a fork so that the steam can escape. If you are baking portioned baked goods, the pieces of dough should be the same size as possible for even baking. Place large items in the center of the plate, and arrange small items along the edge. Covering the form with parchment or film is only to speed up the cooking process if the dough has a dense consistency.
Step 5
Choose a power level depending on the composition of the dough and the shape of the future dish. Bake pastries with fruit, berry filling, gingerbread on a power below average. For muffins, gingerbread, use a low power setting. Bake dense dough, stuffed products at medium and above medium power.
Step 6
Calculate the baking time of the dish depending on the weight of the product. You can open the microwave door at any stage of cooking, the dough will not fall off. Pierce the item with a wooden stick. If the dough is baked, it will remain clean. A rosy crust on baked goods in the microwave does not form. Please note that the baking process continues for some time after exposure to microwaves. Therefore, if the edges of the product are already ready, and the middle still seems damp to you, then turn off the microwave and leave the baked goods in the form for another 5-15 minutes.
