1. Read the recipe and prepare the ingredients. This is the first common mistake in baking. It affects keto baking, particularly because of its sensitivity to ingredients, cooling time, and temperature.
2. Measure with precision. Measuring Solids. One of the common mistakes in keto baking is to measure dry ingredients approximately. I will not say this enough.
3. Use fresh ingredients. Keto baking requires different flours, sweeteners, and fat. But as a rule, remember always to use fresh dry ingredients.
4. Measure the ingredients before starting. How many times did you start a recipe and realized halfway that you are missing an ingredient?
5. Use ingredients at the right temperature. The temperature of ingredients makes an enormous difference in baking. It matters even more in keto baking since you are using many eggs and fat that are solid under 23°C/73°F.
6. Use precise oven temperature. It is important to remember that a toaster oven is not made to bake cakes or bread, keto or not. You must use a standard oven, in regular mode or convection mode, that has been preheated for at least 15 minutes so that the temperature is consistent all over the oven chamber.
7. Preparing the dough. Some recipes require shaping the dough with your hands in a specific shape or watching out for the kneading time.
8. Cooling down. How many times did you get a beautifully raised cake or bread that suddenly deflates when out of the oven? Big temperature drops can ruin your baking.
9. Adjusting recipes for high altitude. Baking is sensitive to altitude. If you live at a high altitude, 3,000 feet or more above sea level, your baking recipe should be slightly adapted to ensure your baked goods rise evenly or cook properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to bake cookies at high altitudes?

The principle adjustments recommended for cookies baked at higher altitudes (generally considered to be above 3,000 feet) are to increase the water slightly, to help the dough come together, and to decrease the amount of chemical leavens (baking powder, baking soda) used.

What happens when you bake at high altitude?

High-altitude baking can be full of unpleasant surprises: cakes that look like they’re rising beautifully suddenly collapse; cookies meant to be chewy and rich end up dry and flavorless. But there is one easy solution, according to cookbook authors Nicole Hampton and Mimi Council: Start with a recipe developed—and tested—at high elevation.

How do you cook at high altitude?

At 9,000 feet and above, preheat oven about 25 degrees above the baking temperature called for in the recipe. As soon as the baked goods are placed inside the oven, lower the heat to the actual baking temperature called for in the recipe. Storing baked goods: At high altitude, baked goods dry out and get stale quickly.

Why do cookies flatten at high altitudes?

Lower air pressure (at high altitudes) means less weight pressing down on cookie dough. Because of that, leavening agents tend to release gases more quickly at higher altitudes than at normal altitudes. By the time cookies are done, most gasses have expanded and already escaped from the cookies. Bottom line: your cookies flatten.
