Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi Kim This is what bread flour is: What is bread flour? Can I substitute all-purpose flour? Bread flour is a high-protein flour, specially formulated for making yeast breads. The combination of protein, a tiny bit of malted barley to help the yeast, and vitamin C or potassium bromate to help the formation of the gluten, helps the dough rise and retain gasses as it bakes, resulting in greater volume and better texture. You can certainly substitute all-purpose flour in a recipe, but the results will be less spectacular. If you have a box of wheat gluten handy, you can add a tablespoon or so to your bread recipe to get essentially the same results as if you had used the bread flour.

My question is "What is the difference between bread flour and regular flour?" I want to make whole wheat rolls and all the recipes call for bread flour. Is it interchangeable with some other "good" flour?Thanks,Kim "I do not want the peace that passeth understanding.
