Best Answer

Gluten is a part of the wheat kernel, or barley kernel, or corn kernel, and so forth. Naturally, when these items are milled into flour or corn powder, the gluten goes in, too, unless steps are taken to remove it.

What is the difference between high grade flour and plain flour?

High grade flour or strong flour has a higher content of gluten (a protein formed when flour is moistened) so is mor4e suitable for baking items that require this "strength" such as bread and dense cakes such as dried fruit cakes. A lower gluten content is desirable for more delicate textured items such as soft cakes and pastries.


Can you use gluten free flour instead of self raising flour?

Technically all flour has gluten in it. Gluten is a protein found in food processed from wheat and other related species. Different kinds of flours have different levels of gluten (bread flour has high gluten vs. cake flour with low gluten). Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with salt and some kind of leavening agent. So yes, self-rising flour, like all flour has gluten in it. It just doesn't have special amount added or taken away like bread or cake flour does. It has same gluten content as all-purpose flour.

What are the properties of plain flour?

A protein called gluten (glutenin) is responsible for the wheat flour's elastic properties. If there is more gluten in the flour, it makes it easier for the flour to have a rough texture and vice versa. High gluten flours are produced from hard wheat. Example of high gluten flour is bread and pizza. Cake flour is produced from soft gluten flour.
