Do you have to have bread flour to make bread??
Cause all the recipes i looked up call for bread flour but I just want to use regular flour. Ty.
Answers:
I use regular flour all the time, it has never been a problem. ***To let you know, bread flour has anywhere from 11-13% protien, all-purpose flour has 10-11.5. From somewhere in my brain, I remember from a culinary class that in Northern states the protien in all-purpose flour is higher, and in the Southern states it is lower. This is based on the food items people are more likely to prepare at home. For example in the South they make a lot of quick breads like buisuts and cakes where gluten production would make the products less tender.
