the difference between the two are that self rising has yeast in it. so all you have to do is get some yeast and mix it with the flour.
which is the best flour to make bread out of strong plain flour self rasing flour or plain flour
Plain flour has a lower gluten content than high grade or bread flour so is less suitable for bread. Some bread flours may also have additives to improve the bread texture or to quicken the bread making process.
Yes, the results may be slightly different, but the bread will be good.
In most cases plain flour is identical to all-purpose flour. All-purpose flour may be used to bake bread or pastries, whereas pastry flour has a low percentage of gluten and bread flour has a high percentage of gluten. Plain, or all-purpose flour has a medium percentage of gluten.
Pretty much. There are different types of flour, and bread flour is considered the best for making it, but you can bake bread with just about any type of flour.
"Strong flour" is the British term for high gluten flour made from "duram" wheat, literally, "strong" wheat. In the U.S., this is known as bread flour. It is used for baking yeast breads, where a chewy texture is desirable. Bread flour has a higher percentage of protein, which forms the elastic, chewy, texture of gluten.
The store mix has to list the ingredients and be specific. Wheat flour instead of Oat, Rice, Buck Wheat or some other type. Plain flour means all purpose, not self rising, cake or bread flour. All purpose or plain flour being wheat flour.
Plain flour is most likely all purpose flour. It will work just fine for bread, but bread flour is specifically blended for bread making. It has more gluten which is what forms the bubbles in bread and helps it rise better. Plain flour is milled, blended and produced slightly differently than that for bread flour. Bread flour is much more of a stronger flour, whilst plain white flour is not. Both flours (whilst bread flour being the best to use for bread), need raising agents, since the flours are heavy. The most commonly used agent is yeast, in small amounts depending on size of loaf. Better results are achieved with using bread flour. So if you want to make bread then best use bread flour for better results and much tastier well balanced bread.
Yes you can, I use whatever flour I have to hand.
Flour helps in adding texture to the bread and sometimes helps in rising. The best flour to use for bread making is Strong White Bread Flour which can be found in grocery stores like ASDA!
You can use plain flour with a teaspoon of baking powder.
