Version 01 © Copyright by Oliver Welling Two versions for baking or drying Version 1: Use a piping bag to dress the meringue onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Make sure it is not too thick. Preheat the oven to 120°C fan/circulating air (130° top-/bottom heat) and place the baking sheet into the oven. Place a wooden spoon in between the oven door to keep it slightly open, this way the steam can escape the oven. If that is not possible open the oven door occasionally during baking. The baking time depends on the oven and the thickness of the meringue. The baked goods are done when it is not soft inside. Therefor make an extra and take it out and break it apart. The baking time can last up to 3h, depending on the size. Version2: (for meringue or thicker pastries) Preheat the oven to 80°C fan/circulating air (90° top-/bottom heat) and place the baking sheet into the oven. Place a wooden spoon in between the oven door to keep it slightly open, this way the steam can escape the oven. If that is not possible open the oven door occasionally during baking. Dry the baking goods for at least 5h. To make sure it is done break one apart, of it is not done, leave in the oven for longer. Tip: For chocolate meringue substitute halve of the starch with baking cocoa. Different aroma or fruit paste may be added to the mass. But this will make the mass softer.
