Baking Background For PowerPoint With A Flour-Dusted Dough Ball

This background is for a recipe, bakery, or food brand slide that needs real copy space without losing the feel of an actual kitchen counter. A single round dough ball, dusted heavily in flour, sits on warm brown wood, with loose flour trailing across the boards and a few slices of rye bread and a small bowl tucked into the top right corner. Free, HD, and watermark-free for PowerPoint or Google Slides.

What This Baking Background Looks Like

The dough sits just right of center, pale and slightly domed, its surface dusted unevenly with flour rather than a perfectly even coat. Two long, diagonal streaks of flour trail away from it across the wood grain, like a baker mid-motion rather than a staged prop.

In the top right corner, a few thick slices of dark rye bread lean together, and a small dark bowl with a dusting of flour inside sits at the right edge. The entire left two-thirds of the frame stays bare, warm-toned wood.

Where This Background Fits

This suits bakery and cafe presentations, recipe blogs, culinary school lessons, home-baking content, and any food brand deck that wants to feel like a real counter mid-bake rather than a polished stock photo.

Design Choices Behind This Composition

I kept this to a single dough ball rather than a full spread of props, since one clear subject reads faster than a crowded flat lay, especially at slide size. The uneven flour dusting and the loose diagonal trails were left in on purpose, a perfectly clean dusting would have looked staged rather than like a real moment in a bake.

Pushing the dough, bread, and bowl into the right third of the frame was the key structural decision, since it leaves the entire left side as genuinely bare wood, calm enough to hold a headline, a recipe title, or a full block of body text without any competing texture.

Legibility Tip for This Background

Keep your text on the bare wood at the left, away from the dough and bread on the right. Dark brown, black, or cream text all read cleanly against the wood tone; avoid placing text directly over the scattered flour trails, where contrast drops.
