3 ingenious alternatives to baking paper

1. instead of baking paper: oil, butter and margarine

Baking paper hasn't always been around - our grandmothers used to line baking tins with oil, butter or margarine so that the baked goods could be easily removed from the cake tin later. You don't need a lot of fat for this, just make sure that the tin is carefully greased.

2. use breadcrumbs or flour

It is usually sufficient to simply grease baking tins. However, it is sometimes advisable to additionally coat them with flour or breadcrumbs. This guarantees that nothing sticks. This method is mainly used for cake tins that are difficult to line with baking paper anyway, such as bundt cake tins or Bundt cake tins. This is usually also indicated in the recipe.

3. bread paper instead of baking paper

Bread paper is also a good alternative to baking paper - it is perfect for quickly heating up a pizza. But you can also spread dough on it: Depending on how big the bags are, you can cut them to size or place several next to each other. To ensure they hold better, grease the tin a little beforehand.
