all purpose flour
AP Flour = All Purpose Flour = Plain Flour
Yes; To substitute cake flour with ap flour use 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour for every 1 cup of ap 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?
Plain flour most likely is AP flour and I say yes at any rate.
4.5 cups of AP flour is approximately 560 grams
1 lb. flour = ~4 1/2 cups of sifted flour = ~454 grams1 cup flour =~100grams
You can substitute all-purpose flour for cake flour, but realizing that ap flour has more gluten (wheat protein) than cake flour you need to use a bit less, so 1 cup ap flour less 1 1/2 tbs or 4 1/2 oz will equal 1 cup cake flour.If replacing all-purpose flour for cake flour here is a tip that will actually "make your own" cake flour.1 cup all-purpose flour - 2 tablespoonsreplace the 2 tablespoons of flour with 2 tablespoons corn starchsift together until thoroughly blended and soft (about five times)
the best substitute for cake flour is 2 cups minus 2tablespoons flour plus 2 tbs cornstarch.
There are several types of flour used in making noodles. The easiest and most accessible is AP (all purpose) flour, which is a wheat flour. Some people chose to use whole wheat flour. Just about any wheat flour can be used, though the results will be different with all. For example, self rising flour may result in the noodles coming out fluffier than they wou,ld normally, but they would still be fine. Another common flour used in noodles is buckwheat flour. This, along with rice flour, is what is normally used in Asian cooking, for things like soba and udon. Despite the misleading name, buckwheat flour is not actually a wheat flour.

Self-rising flour has baking powder and salt in it and most times it is bleached. Some recipes don't need as much salt or baking powder in them, like brownies or cookies. AP flour is available (chemically) bleached & unbleached. Some people do not like the added chemicals or the aluminum which is generally in the baking powder used in self rising flour. Self rising flour is very good for biscuits. Answer by cre8ov
There is no reason you could not make biscuits from bread flour, but they would probably not be quite like old-fashioned Southern biscuits. Southern biscuits get their distinct texture from the fact that they are usually made with "soft" flour, i.e. flour ground from soft wheat (soft wheat is the only type of wheat that grew will in the South's climate so until modern times, soft flour was the only flour readily available in the South). Bread flour is "hard" flour. The biggest difference is protein content. Hard flour has more protein than soft flour. The reason bread flour is so good for bread is because it makes a lot more gluten than all-purpose flour (a mixture of soft and hard flours). Gluten strands form a mesh through the dough, trap the gas released by yeast, and the dough rises. Soft flour has even less gluten than AP flour. Biscuits made with bread flour will probably taste similar, but have a little puffier texture than those made with soft flour. To minimize gluten formation work the dough as little as possible, pat or press the dough out (do not roll), and get them into the oven as soon as possible after shaping the biscuits. I have been told that a mixture of 3 parts AP flour and 1 part cake flour can approximate a soft flour for biscuit baking.
