Products I have found help with either clean up or with the baking process
Super absorbent and works well in several types of messes without breaking apart.
Kirkland Signature Paper Towels, 2-Ply, 160 Sheets
Amazing liners that cut down on so much extra work of cutting and making it fit from a larger roll of parchment. Super helpful when my hands don't want to cooperate so disability friendly is a plus.
Webake Unbleached Parchment Paper Loaf Pan Liners
By far the best parchment paper I've used as it's a larger roll meaning even my big half sheet pan can be covered with one sheet not multiple. Heavy duty and doesn't easily tare. I use this in various parts of my baking from the actual baking to smoo...

Items in my bakery pantry
Allergen free chocolate! Best tasting chocolate you can get at your local grocery store!
Baking Chips Semisweet Chocolate - 46% Cacao
This is my go to flour for basically everything I bake. It has a high enough gluten content that fresh baked bread turns out beautifully each time.
Kirkland Signature Organic Unbleached All Purpose Flour
Great finishing salt for all baked goods. Helps chocolates flavor pop while giving baked goods amazing salt flavor and looks! Can't forget how those giant flakes of salt look on freshly baked bread.
Maldon Salt
For the amount and quality I've found this to be one of the better deals on real vanilla extract. I use this in all my baked goods.
Kirkland Signature Pure Vanilla Extract, 16 fl oz
Perfect for adding warm notes to your Fall and Holiday menu. Molasses is also great to have on hand when you run out of brown sugar!

Love the ease of use plus the accuracy of the Taylor kitchen scales. Makes my baking to scale much easier
Taylor Waterproof Digital Kitchen Scale
Great choice for someone looking to start using a mixer as a home baker and come in several sizes. I honestly need to upgrade mine to a larger size!
Stand Mixers | KitchenAid US
I personally have several sets of tsp, tablespoon and measuring cups. I've found a great variety here from plastic to metal.
Measurement Cups and Spoons Sets for Cooking
These bowls are work horses and perfect for all your baking needs plus is that they come in multiple sizes!
Workhorse Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls - Made in the USA
All in one tool that is budget friendly! It was a whisk, beaters, a dough hook. If you're just starting or like me doing bigger batches then my stand mixer can handle.
All Hand Mixers
As a home baker you will find the half sheet pan is the largest we can fit in our home ovens. I have 3 boys and having these larger pans make baking and cooking meals faster.
Half Sheet Pan, Nonstick
Before using these and just placing my subs on a cookie sheet they ended up flatter then I would like but after using these my subs stay nice and puffy and look/taste fabulous!
