I know it sounds weird to mix all your dry ingredients up but if you are mixing dry and wet ingredients together this is a good thing. Eg. when you have your baking soda and salt, they are 2 different things. If you don't mix them together you get big chunks of just salt and just baking soda some places in whatever your making.

What mixing method were demonstrated in baking products?
The mixing methods will vary, depending on what you are baking, with some common ones being to 'cut', 'cream' and 'blend'.For example, if baking a pie crust, the mixing method is to first 'cut' the fat (shortening, butter or lard) into the flour with a pastry blender, a fork or you can use your fingers. After the fat is cut into the flour, you will add just enough ice water to make it hold together when pressed.If baking a cake, the mixing method (for most cakes) is to 'cream' the sugar and fat (butter, margarine, shortening, etc.), then add the eggs, then alternate the dry and wet ingredients till blended.If baking cornbread, you simply mix all ingredients together and 'blend' well.

Does std flour have baking flour?
You are asking if STANDARD FLOUR HAS BAKING FLOUR? Standard flour from the grocer, or if you are lucky to have stone ground flour, is baking flour. The question is: What are you baking. So if you are baking bread that needs a rising factor, you need to add some gluten into it. Bread flours are higher in gluten content. I buy the generic flour and add my own additional gluten so I don't have that many varieties of flour in the freezer. I have whole wheat, multi-grains, etc which I use for bread making as well.
