I’ll show you how!  But, if you're anything like me, you don't always have cake flour on hand. That shouldn't be a problem though. You make cake flour at home with 2 simple ingredients you already have in the pantry. The Difference Between Cake Flour and All-Purpose Flour While all-purpose flour is made from a combination of soft and hard wheat, cake flour is made from  only  soft wheat that’s been milled extra fine. It contains the lowest protein content of all the flours, and in baking, the lower the protein content the softer the texture. The highe...

Best Tips for Working with YEAST

By Shilpa Shilpa Khandelwal
Image
      Best Tips for working with YEAST Active dry yeast and instant (or rapid-rise) yeast are the two most common yeasts available to us as home bakers. The two yeasts can be used interchangeably in recipes, but active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in water before using while instant yeast can be mixed right into the dough. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer baking with active dry yeast. Dissolving the yeast in whatever liquid is being used in the recipe only takes an extra minute or two, and I like to know that my yeast has completely dissolved and is ready to go.
