You can use all-purpose flour in a bread machine, and it will still produce good results for most recipes. However, bread flour, which has a higher protein content, is often preferred for making bread because it yields a chewier texture and better rise. If you use all-purpose flour, you may need to adjust the water content slightly, as it absorbs moisture differently. Ultimately, both types of flour can work, so feel free to experiment based on your preferences.
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour for bread flour when using a bread machine, but the results may differ. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which helps create a chewier texture and better structure in bread. If you use all-purpose flour, your bread may be softer and less chewy, and it might not rise as well. To improve the outcome, you can add a little vital wheat gluten to mimic the properties of bread flour.
You can substitute all-purpose flour for bread flour in a machine recipe, but you may need to adjust the liquid slightly since all-purpose flour has a lower protein content. Alternatively, you can use a blend of all-purpose flour and vital wheat gluten to mimic the higher protein content of bread flour. Keep in mind that the texture and rise of the bread may differ slightly with these substitutions.
Yes you can but the result will be a rather flat loaf as pastry and cake flour do not contain as much gluten as bread flour. Gluten which is developed by kneading the bread dough is essential to a well structured bread.
The recommended usage of Fleischmann's Bread Machine Yeast in a bread recipe is to use 1 teaspoon of yeast for every cup of flour in the recipe.
The bread dough formed in bread machines is not meant to be removed from the machine and handled, so no provision is made to reduce stickiness. In making bread by hand, additional flour is placed on the bread surface to reduce stickiness and make handling easier. When removing bread dough from a machine before baking, one can apply oil or a spray no-stick product to one's hands to reduce sticking. Alternatively, one may sprinkle a small amount of flour on the surface of the dough before removing from the bread machine.
There shouldn't be. Make sure the baking pan and the bread maker are both very clean before using them.
There is no difference between "flour for making bread" and "flour to make bread." Both phrases refer to the same thing: bread flour.
1% to 2%. I use about 1.25% ( of the weight of the flour )
Yes and no. You can use a regular bread recipe, but you will need to make sure that you are adding the ingredients in the order and at the temperature recommended by the maker of your bread machine.
I need two cups of bread flour. I have ap flour and cream of tartar though. How do I make bread flour from what I have?
Superfine flour should not be used in place of bread flour. Bread flour is made from "hard" wheat that has been bred to have the high gluten content that makes proper bread.
There is no bread without flour.
