01 / Baking basics
Measure for consistency
- Use a digital kitchen scale when you can. Flour packed into a cup can vary a lot.
- Get out all your ingredients first and then start making.
- Always add more chocolate chips

A little about myself
About Mark
Welcome to BakingByMark - A website where myself and the community adds their favorite recipes
How it started
Hey! My name is Mark and I started BakingbyMark in January 2025 randomly one day when I was baking something. I had already been baking and experimenting with different recipes when I thought “Maybe I should record this?”. I started out by filming myself completing each step one by one.
Eventually, I gained the confidence to record myself talking and filmed a whole video making granola bars. Funny enough, I recorded it in the house I was dog-sitting in and even used their oven (Thanks Delius family!). The owner follows me, so I think she would’ve said something by now if she didn’t like that hahaha.
What you'll find here
Now, based in Chicago, I love baking things after work or on the weekends. I always try to make dinner myself and try something new. But it’s difficult to stray away from my classics..In this site you’ll see my recipes, along with some from family, friends, or anyone who visits. The recipes range from healthy dinners such as salmon and vegetables, to desserts such as brown butter chocolate chip cookies or sourdough pumpkin muffins.
I encourage anyone to visits the site to create an account, add some of their recipes, and make something from another user! BakingbyMark.com is just a little side project and very much a work in progress, so you might see some different features added occasionally. Enjoy :-)
Some tips and tricks to perfect those cookies
Tips & Techniques
Here are some baking tips to improve your recipes! I'm no expert, but these are some things I've learned.
02 / Sourdough
Good for the gut!
- For a weekly feeding, mix equal weights of starter, water, and flour (1:1:1).
- Watch for bubbles and a noticeable rise. it might change with room temperature or lighting.
- For discard recipes, you can use the discard directly from the fridge
03 / Cookies & muffins
Use a scale!
- I recommend using metric system and a scale for the ingredients as cups/scoops scan vary.
- Try to even out the portions using a scale so you can make them consisent
- Adding salt to the recipe is important-your pasrties won't be salty!!!
04 / Oven tips
Baking times mary vary
- An oven thermometer can help reveal temperature differences.
- Start checking a little before the suggested bake time, since ovens vary.
- For basked goods like brownies or banana bread, poke a hole in them to see if the batter is still wet
