Is it better to use cake flour for baking cookies or all purpose flour?
Yes, Cake flour can be used instead of all purpose flour but cake flour will make it more dense because it produced more gluten than all purpose flour.Clarification:If you use cake flour instead of all purpose flour, use 1 cup plus two tablespoons cake flour for every cup all purpose flour called for in the recipe. For example, if the recipe calls for 2 cups all purpose flour, you would use 2 cups plus 4 tablespoons cake flour.The results won't be exactly as if you used all purpose flour, but this is the standard substitution ratio.
Why fungi called yeast is used for bakeries?
The yeast is a living organism that creates carbon dioxide and that is what makes the bubbles that makes bread light and fluffy, there are also many breads that do not use yeast and these are called unleavened bread and are flat.
What is Strong flour?
This is sometimes called "bread flour". It is flour with a higher gluten content. Gluten is essential for the structure of bread; stretching to trap air bubbles as the yeast ferments. Plain flour is sometimes used in breadmaking when a specific gluten content needs to be achieved, but it is rarely used without the addition of strong flour.
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.
What are the parts of bread?
flour,shortening, water and yeast are the four main parts of bread. egg whites will give it a harder crust as a french or italan bread <><><> It depends on how the bread is leavened. If it is a quick bread, it needs something to produce carbon dioxide gas--either baking powder or a mixture of baking soda and something acid, like buttermilk. If it is sourdough, it needs sourdough culture. If it is a yeast bread, it needs yeast. Other than the leavening, it needs flour and water and usually salt. Sometimes oil or shortening is added to a quick bread or to doughs for pizza crust or foccacia, but not to most yeast loaves. Sometimes milk or eggs or other ingredients are added for flavor or texture or to enhance the nutritional value.
Does cake flour have less gluetn than white flour?
Cake flour has less protein than all-purpose flour not less gluten. If you are baking for someone who needs gluten free, Cake flour will not help. You will need a combination of tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthum gum, rice flour, and possibly others. There is also a product called Bob's Red Mill all-purpose Gluten free flour that works pretty well as a replacement to regular flour.
Can you use bread flour for crumble topping?
No. Cornstarch is generally used as a thickening agent in sauces and gravies. You will lose that thickening property if you use bread crumbs. Depending on the recipe, you may be able to use flour instead (do not try this for baked goods, though).
Why is bread stretchy?
Bread and bread dough are stretchy because they are made with flour containing gluten, a protein molecule that forms networks in bread dough. Gluten is "worked up" in bread dough through the kneading process.
Why should you allow pie dough to rest after mixing it?
When mixing a bread dough, a recipe will often instruct you to allow the dough to rest after mixing and before kneading. The reason for allowing the dough to rest is that adding too much flour to the dough will make the bread dry and heavy, so allowing your bread dough to rest before kneading gives the dough time to absorb water and fully hydrate. Recipes give an amount of flour but, because flour varies in the amount of moisture it can absorb, the actual amount of flour used will vary.While the resting time is important in all breads, it's especially important when using whole grain flours. Whole grains will absorb more water than white flour but they also take longer to absorb water. If you mix and knead the dough quickly, often too much flour will be added and the resulting bread will be dry and crumbly. By giving the flour some added time to hydrate, you will likely add less flour and result in a more successful bread.
Does flour dissolve in alcohol?
Dissolve, yes; activate and reproduce, no. Alcohol is a waste product of yeast, and so it has no benefit to the yeast. Yeast feeds on sugars, so it needs carbohydrates (i.e., flour, sugar, fruit) to achieve the desired results, be they gas production for the leavening of bread, or the production of alcohol.
Why does a cake need flour?
Because it needs flour power for it to taste good.
