Role of Ingredients
SUGAR - The browning of crust on the baked product is due to caramelization of sugars and Maillard reaction. In baked products, sugar somtributes to the development of volume and texture by its ability to help in the aeration of batters. Sugars also serve as tenderizing agent which competes with starch for available water. Less water will be available to hydrate the gluten-forming proteins which stop the excess development gluten formation. Besides that, sugars also have decorative functions such as toppings for cakes and cookies.

FAT - Fats acts as lubricant to prevent sticking of food onto the baking pan/tin.
