What does the term "staling" refer to in baking?
The process of adding more ingredients to a recipe.
The method of cooling baked goods after they come out of the oven.
The changes in structure and loss of moisture that cause bread to become less appealing.

It does not affect the baking process at all.
The material and shape of the pan can influence how heat is distributed during baking.
If a recipe calls for a specific baking time, what should you consider if you decide to change the temperature?
The baking time may need to be adjusted based on the new temperature.
You should always double the baking time.
The baking time will remain the same regardless of temperature changes.
Higher temperatures always require less baking time.
What is the main reason for following the correct procedures in baking?
It makes the process more enjoyable.
