Why do you ship flour? Isn't that overkill?▾
Nope, at Adventures in Dough we believe in Flour to the People! Most people struggle with the wrong flour which impacts the rise. We recommend flour with just under 12% protein content.
| Flour Type | % Protein | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| High-Gluten | 14–15% | Bagels, blending |
| Whole-Wheat | 13–14% | Hearth breads, blending |
| Bread | 12–13% | Traditional bread, bread machine, pizza |
| All-Purpose | 9–12% | Everyday cooking, quick bread, pastries |
| Self-Raising | 9–12% | Biscuits, quick breads, cookies |
| Pastry | 8–9% | Pie crusts, pastries, cookies, biscuits |
| Cake | 5–8% | Cakes with high sugar ratio |
