The best flour for most quick breads is all-purpose flour, as it provides a good balance of protein and gluten, resulting in a tender texture. Some recipes may also benefit from using whole wheat flour for added flavor and nutrition, but it's often recommended to blend it with all-purpose flour for optimal results. Cake flour can be used for a lighter texture in specific recipes, but all-purpose remains the most versatile choice.
The best type of flour to use for making banana bread is all-purpose flour, not bread flour. All-purpose flour is versatile and works well for most baking recipes, including banana bread. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which can result in a denser and chewier texture in banana bread.
The most popular type of quick bread is banana bread.
flour
The most popular kind of bread is white bread made from white flour.
Strong (i.e. bread grade) wholemeal flour is the most dense.
Wheat flour i guess
Plain flour is most likely all purpose flour. It will work just fine for bread, but bread flour is specifically blended for bread making. It has more gluten which is what forms the bubbles in bread and helps it rise better. Plain flour is milled, blended and produced slightly differently than that for bread flour. Bread flour is much more of a stronger flour, whilst plain white flour is not. Both flours (whilst bread flour being the best to use for bread), need raising agents, since the flours are heavy. The most commonly used agent is yeast, in small amounts depending on size of loaf. Better results are achieved with using bread flour. So if you want to make bread then best use bread flour for better results and much tastier well balanced bread.
it is usually flour
Bread flour, sometimes called "Strong flour" has a higher gluten content than regular cake flour. Out of all bread flours, "Canadian" bread flour usually has the highest gluten content. I think that pasta flour (sometimes called "00 flour") may have a slightly higher gluten content than some bread flours, but using pasta flour doesn't result in a better quality of bread.
The conversion ratio from all-purpose flour to bread flour when baking is typically 1:1, meaning you can substitute them in equal amounts in most recipes.
Strong white bread flour and strong wholoemeal flour contains the most gluten because it reacts with the yeast and forms the bread dough
Yes. Wholemeal flour can be substituted for up to half the white flour when making pita bread at home. Most supermarkets carry whole wheat (whole meal) pita bread alongside pita made with white flour.
