Not your standard loaf, no. The reason that bread flour is called strong flour (or at least it is in the UK) is because it contains a lot of gluten. Gluten is the protein that holds the whole thing together when bread rises. If you don't have much gluten then your bread can't hold it's shape when it rises and will collapse. The end result is still edible, but not light and fluffy like the inside of a loaf should be, instead it will be dense and chewy. Not ideal for Sandwiches!
There are some bread recipes that call for self-raising (aka "self-rising") flour, but in general, basic yeast bread recipes do not use self-raising flour. They are leavened by the action of the yeast instead.
Self-rising flour can be used to make certain types of bread such as biscuits, muffins and quick breads. It could be used for yeast breads, but the baking powder in the flour would not noticeably change the rise created by the yeast. The amount of salt in any recipe also should be adjusted when using self-rising flour.
Self rising flour contains a leavening agent in addition to flour. To substitute bread flour for self rising flour, you will need to add either baking soda or baking powder as well. Depending on the amount of flour used, you should add about 1 teaspoon baking soda or up to 1 tablespoon baking powder.
i would have to say no
yes you can use self raising flour but before you bake it you should make holes on it with a fork
Normally not. Bread flour is does not contain chemical leavening agents, whereas self raising flour does. (So you'd be adding in additional raising agents which will probably mess up the end result). Also, self raising flour has a lower protein and gluten content, when compared to bread flour; this means that if you were to make bread with self raising flour, it would be prone to collapsing and is likely to remain undderisen/crumbly.
Yes you can. i believe it is the best way.
Not for making yeast bread. The baking powder and soda and salt in the self-raising flour will affect the yeast and probably kill it, resulting in a bad-tasting, dense mess. Self-raising flour can be used in quick-breads, that is the proper leavening for them.
you use flour in pizzas to make the dough rise and prevent it from being flat. you might use self raising flour or bread flour because these are the best.
yes
No, maida is not self-raising flour. Maida is a type of wheat flour that is finely milled and used in Indian cuisine to make various dishes like bread, pastries, and snacks. Self-raising flour, on the other hand, has baking powder added to it, which helps baked goods rise.
you need all-purpose flour to make a cake. - not bread flour- that is only for bread!
It can be used, although not with very tasty results. Self Raising Flour is a flour that has been pre-mixed with Yeast, although Yeast alone has a very powerful, pungent smell, its what gives bread most of its flavour. Using Strong White Bread Flour and Yeast seperately and not Self-Raising yields much better results and can be varied to suit any recipe.
There is no difference between "flour for making bread" and "flour to make bread." Both phrases refer to the same thing: bread flour.
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?
It is possible to make bread from self-rising flour. It is perfect for quick breads and other products that call for baking powder or baking soda for leavening. Self-raising flour is not recommended for yeast breads.
