Can you use cake flour for bread making and why?
No, because cake flour will make baked goods much more dense and heavier.A bit more:While cake flour makes cakes very light and tender, it doesn't have enough gluten in it to make bread, which has to have a much higher gluten content to achieve the right texture, and to aid in rising.

How is bread usually prepared?
Bread is usually prepared as garlic bread with a side of butter on the side. (at restaurants)Bread is usually prepared uncooked with butter on the side.(at home)The contributor who asked the question wants to know how bread is made. As in, "How do you make bread?" To answer, there are a number of recipes to follow when making bread. A couple of main ingredients are flour (can be white flour or wheat flour) and yeast. I think you use eggs in preparing the dough as well, but I am not sure. Once you have the dough prepared and kneaded to the shape you want, you need to spray some water on it. This activates the yeast. You also need to guage the bread (slicing slits into the dough so that it will rise better). I think with homemade bread, you can stick it into a preheated oven right after you make the dough, but again, I am not sure. I do know that with restaurant bread (such as Subway's) you put it into a machine called a proofer. It is similar to an oven, except that it does not cook the bread. It helps the bread rise and fluff out. It is left in for approx. 12 minutes then is baked for another 12-20 minutes.

You can easily use a higher gluten bread flour instead. Changing the flour will alter the crumb -- the final texture -- of the bread somewhat. If you like the recipe but think you may prefer a different texture, play with the flour requirement a little.

This recipe is simple and flexible enough to accommodate modifications. We specify all-purpose flour because it is probably in your kitchen right now. So are most of the other ingredients -- with the possible exception of the yeast.Different flours can have interesting characteristics. Some high quality flour products always require sifting, for example. Using an alternative to wheat, like soy flour, will impact the bread's rising ability, too. The best way to insure baking success is to know your ingredients, so read the labels on the flour products you buy and follow the recommendations. Think of it as a grand experiment. It's one of the best ways to learn the ins and outs of baking.Ingredient order - Be sure to check your bread maker's instruction booklet, too. Most brands require splitting the wet and dry ingredients and adding one or the other (wet or dry) first.Bread Maker White Bread RecipeIngredients1 cup warm water (about 105 degrees Fahrenheit) 1 package bread maker yeast 1-1/2 tbsp. sugar 2 tsp. shortening 1 tsp. salt 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flourDirectionsAdd all ingredients to bread maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

If you do, it will not turn out right as different flours result in different dough consistencies. Cake flour is meant to turn out fluffy and crumbly, like a cake. For pizza dough, you want to use all-purpose or bread flour.
Why has my bread not baked in the center?
In short "temperature"........ Your oven was either too hot and the outside cooked before the inside, it was too cool and the heat did not get through to the inside, or it was just right and you took your loaf out too soon.
How fast does mold grow on bread?
Depends. If you leave it out in a dry environment it can take several weeks because it is difficult for spores to germinate in that condition. If placed in a place like in a sealed plastic bag, the moisture will gather up in there and the mould spores will germinate fast, in 1 maybe 2 days. If you want to do this experiment, look up the question "How do you mold fruit?" and I have answered that there. Hope this answers your question! Dimitri. I

What happens to water and flour when you knead dough?
When water and flour are combined, bonds are formed and continue to build throughout the process of kneading due to gluten, the glue-like substance present in wheat and other grassy grains. This substance is what gives wheat it's characteristic elasticity.
Can I substitute flax flour or wheat flour for plain flour when baking something like oatmeal or choc chip cookies?
I'm 90% sure this is right. Whole wheat flour isn't a problem. It may change the flavor slightly and the texture will be slightly coarser but not a problem. Other flours do not contain gluten which forms the structure or texture in baked goods. Some cookies would survive and others would just fall apart because there is nothing to hold them together. You just have to experiment with a recipe and see what works. I have ground oatmeal into flour for peanut butter cookies and the result was acceptable.
