Ingredients: How do you convert all-purpose flour to bread flour?
When you're substituting all-purpose flour for bread flour you need 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vital wheat gluten for every cup of flour. This is the general rule.
Make sure to sift the flour with the vital wheat gluten so it is evenly spread throughout. Whisk the ingredients together, and use it to replace the bread flour in the recipe.
How do you Convert Flour to Self-Rising Flour?
Determine the conversion ratios. One cup of self-rising flour is the same as 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/8 tsp. of salt and 1 1/4 tsp. of baking soda.
Next Look at what the recipe calls for. Assume you are baking a cake calling for 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 tsp. of baking soda and 1 tsp. of salt.
Then calculate how much salt you need to add. The 2 cups of self-rising flour have approximately 1/4 tsp. of salt. You will only need to add 3/4 tsp. to your recipe now.
Then calculate how much baking soda you need to add. Two cups of self-rising flour contain approximately 2 1/2 tsp. of baking soda. You have more baking soda than you need. This means that the baked product might rise too high; you can't sift out the baking soda, so you will have to accept this as part of the substitution result.
How Do You Turn All-Purpose Flour Into Cake Flour?
Measure out the flour that you'll need for your recipe.
For every cup of flour you use, take out two tablespoons of flour and return it to the flour bin. Put the cup of flour (minus the two tablespoons) into a sifter set over a bowl.
Replace the two tablespoons of flour that you removed with two tablespoons of cornstarch.
Sift the flour and cornstarch together. Sift it again, and again and again. The cornstarch and flour need to be well incorporated and the flour aerated. Sift the flour and cornstarch mixture about five times.
And now you have cake flour!
