Flour FAQs
What's the difference between plain and bread flour?
Bread (strong) flour is higher in protein and gluten, giving the chew and rise you want in bread. Plain flour is lower in protein, which makes it better for cakes, pastry and biscuits.
Is gluten-free flour a direct 1:1 swap?
Not always. Gluten-free flours like almond, coconut and rice behave differently from wheat, and coconut flour in particular absorbs far more liquid. Use a recipe designed for them, or a ready-made gluten-free blend, for the best results.
How long does flour keep?
White flour keeps up to a year in an airtight container. Wholegrain and nut flours contain natural oils, so use them within a few months or store them in the fridge.
