Baking Temperature Guide
When following recipes from different countries, oven temperature conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit is essential. Most European and Australian recipes use Celsius, while American recipes use Fahrenheit.
The most common baking temperature is 180°C (356°F), which is used for most cakes, cookies, and general baking. For bread and pastries that need a crispy crust, higher temperatures of 200–220°C (392–428°F) are typically used.
Fan oven adjustment
If your recipe specifies a conventional oven temperature and you have a fan (convection) oven, reduce the temperature by 20°C (36°F). For example, if a recipe calls for 180°C in a conventional oven, set your fan oven to 160°C (320°F).
