FAQ

1. What kind of flour is ideal for baking?

Ans - Since it is neutral and adaptable, all-purpose flour is the most popular flour used in baking. Popular options for baking include bread flour and pastry flour.

2. What distinguishes bread flour from all-purpose flour?

Ans - The finest applications for all-purpose flour include pies, cakes, cookies, and muffins due to its mild gluten level. When baking yeast-based breads, bread flour, which has a higher gluten level, is excellent for creating structure.

3. How can I create flaky, delicate pastries?

Ans - Use a combination of cold lard and gentle handling of the dough to make pastries flaky and soft. Don't overwork the dough when mixing it with freezing water.

4. What are the most frequent errors made when using flour in baking?

Ans - The most frequent errors when using flour in baking are using the incorrect type of flour for the type of baked good, using inaccurate measurements, and not sifting the flour first.

5. Is there an expiration date on flour?

Ans - The majority of all-purpose flours keep well for up to a year when kept in a cold, dry environment. Whole wheat flour is sometimes best utilised within 6-8 months, although other speciality flours, such cake flour, may only be good for 6 months.
