Does anyone know how to bake?
I want to start to learn how to bake but i don’t know the basic recipes.

What do you want to make?
Anything easy to bake and that is for beginners
If you’re just starting out, I highly recommend using premade cake mixes and cookie mixes for a while. That way you can learn the fundamentals without getting caught up in the technical stuff.
If you want to make something from scratch, the easiest recipe in the world is the chocolate chip cookie recipe on the back of the nestle tollhouse chocolate chips bag.

I enjoy baking. Like ninjastar said, said with premise mixes. It’s easier and less daunting 
@Illvoices. Baking doesn’t have to be hard, time consuming, complicated, or confusing. I lived on my own for many years and I taught myself how to cook. My philosophy has always been that if you can read–then you can cook. Because recipes you can get online or in a cook book are self-explanatory. Recipes list all the ingredients you will need, how much of each ingredient you will need, and then it will take you through the recipe step by step
You can download a million recipes online. And you can go to websites for “simple” or “easy” recipes. You can download healthy recipes too. Whatever your favorite food or dish is, you will probably find a recipe for it online
I wasn’t sure if you meant just baking in the oven or cooking in general.
You can find easy recipes for desserts, you can find recipes for stew, chili, soup, omelets, casseroles. Different recipes for your favorite meat dishes. If you are serious about learning to cook, you need to commit to buying the basic utensils and pots and pans and miscellaneous equipment for cooking and baking. You don’t have to spend a fortune but it pays to get good quality pots, pans, etc.
Here’s an example of a recipe
It tells you all the ingredients, how to prep them and in what order to add the ingredients. It tells you everything you need to know!
Don’t be intimidated by all the ingredients you need.

And if you don’t understand a cooking term for a recipe you can easily find it online.
