Piccolino's baking powder, also known as artificial yeast, is an advanced version of baking soda, as it contains the acid needed for plain soda to have leavening ability. It also contains a small amount of starch that absorbs its moisture. We use it for the rising (leavening) of dough, mainly for sweets. It ensures uniform rising and a fluffy texture in sweets, cakes, and various other doughs. It has the advantage of not needing to be dissolved in liquid; we can add it directly to the flour. This is why it is recommended in recipes that do not contain enough liquid ingredients. However, its action begins as soon as it comes into contact with the oven's heat.
