Can I use bread flour instead of all purpose for muffins?

At 12- to 13-percent protein content, bread flour is stronger than all-purpose flour, but it can generally be substituted for all-purpose, and vice versa. However, it's important to remember that bread flour's increased protein could result in a dough or batter that's dry, so you may need to add water.

Is cake flour better for muffins?

Typically most muffin recipes call for all purpose flour and will create a dense, go-to muffin recipe. But if you're looking for a sweeter muffin, use cake flour. Cake flour will give your muffins a fluffier, more cake-like density.

What flour is best for cakes?

Plain flour or self raising flour?

Dish	Flour required

Cakes	Self-raising flour (or plain flour with baking powder)
Crumpets	Strong flour AKA breadmaking flour

Is self raising flour the same as cake flour?

Cake flour and self-rising flour are not the same. Cake flour is finely milled flour with low protein content, which means that it allows for a soft and light texture. Self-rising flour has the addition of salt and baking powder to help it rise. Cake flour does not have any added ingredients.

Can you use self raising flour instead of plain flour for muffins?

No. If your recipe asks for plain or self-raising flour, it is important to remember that these two ingredients are not interchangeable and you should use the flour recommended in the recipe along with any raising agents, such as baking powder or bicarbonate of soda.

Can I use yogurt instead of yeast?

You can substitute yogurt for milk in yeast breads, quick breads and sourdough starter breads.
