Mise en Place is a French term, and it literally means "to put int place." Mise en place is what you do to prepare for baking. If you get into the habit of doing a mise en place when you get started it will make your baking a breeze.
The first thing you want to do is get out all of your ingredients from your well stocked pantry. Be sure you have everything you need before you start! Get out your measuring cups, spoons, scale and prep bowls. Fill your sink with hot soapy water. As you work you can put your dirty dishes into the sink and cleanup will be easy when you finish!
I find it much easier if I measure out all of my ingredients into prep bowls and line them up in order of use. If you have little bakers in your house, it is really easy to prepare everything and then invite them into the kitchen to help. If you have anything you need to chop it is easier to do that without distraction of a little one in your kitchen too!
Once you have everything measured out, it is a breeze to mix up your dough or batter. Be sure to keep an eye on your recipe because the order that ingredients are added and the amount of mixing needed makes a huge difference in your finished product!
Happy Baking!
