I am looking for a non-American flour I can use to make flaky Pie Crusts. Would this work for that?

Antino Caputo flour is great for all kind of pasta and very good for pizza but not for flaky crust Americo

This flour is to fine and has a high protein count. It's good for pasta and pizza that's it really and more importantly very hot brick wood fired pizza ovens. It dos not brown in a standard oven so I could imagine that it will be the worst possible flour for flaky pie dough

Yes. I used this flour to make the most unbelievably delicious, out of this world pie crust I have ever made. I used the recipe for the flaky cream cheese pie crust from Rose Levy Beranbaum's Pie and Pastry Bible.

No knowledgeable baker uses bread flour for pastries. If you want whole-wheat pastries, buy whole-wheat pastry flour.

Yes just substitute into any recipe. The only thing I made that wasn't great was pizza, but I had the same problem with a flour recipe. This is the best gluten free flour. You will b amazed

It depends on the recipe and your family's preference. I have used it many recipes,including bread, pancakes, pie crust, and cookies and had great results. We like the difference! It is different though, and some recipes don't take well to it. Play around and figure out your preference. If you use a lot of whole wheat flour already, you'll like this. Good luck!

How do you mean? I use the Perfect Flour blend with my pizza crust recipe and it is delicious. I also use this in my pancake and waffle recipes, and they (both) are phenomenal. Years ago, I began using the Namaste Foods Pancake and Waffle mix, which was the best and tastiest one I'd tried. Used that for several years, then braved my own recipes with the Perfect Flour Blend- I'll never use the package mixes again! In my current experience comparing home-made vs. just add oil and egg, there is a world of difference in taste, texture and appearance. Also, in converting one waffle recipe to gluten free, I found I had to add more flour to get it to cook through.

I don't think so. It is just a baking mix like bisquik, not a flour replacement.

This type of flour is best suited for making loaves of bread. Bread flour is usually denser than say pastry flour. But I have made vegan chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and cakes with this whole wheat bread flour and they came out very well. I wouldn't use bread flour for sauce thickening, nor cakes. The batter/dough would come out a little too dense. I hope my answer helps.

It doesn't have binding characteristics. Hence cannot form your pie crust by itself. But, you can mix it with Rice Flour and create your own healthy version of pie crust. May be you can try this recipe and add Rice bran to tailor it your own requirementshttp://www.bobsredmill.com/recipes.php?recipe=371

Yes, I just recently made a no-gluten pie crust. This little machine is very powerful, and convient. Just pulse the ingredients until the mixture comes together. DO NOT hold the button down, you'll burn the motor out. As soon as the dough was sticking together I did the rest of the work by hand. Hope this helps. Don't over load it. The Best, Truthful.

Yes, it is great for mince pies. That is what I got it for. Not too deep and makes a nice small pie.

I have made pizza dough and bread with great results. I suppose it all depends on the receipe you use. My suggestion would be to visit their website or better yet call and ask them specifically. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Sorry, but this time I have to say an outright "no". It's too rough (like burlap) and although it might work, I wouldn't try. I bake pies as well and I much prefer using a smooth surfaced material for the tender pie crusts rather than this rough surface. Sometimes you can multitask a product but not this one for pie crusts. Cookie dough? Pretty much the same thing. This couche is fairly rigid as well as rough so again I wouldn't think of using it for anything else than forming bread loaves. Good luck!

I have had much success using this flour for baking bread, I use a traditional recipe and oven bake my bread. I do not use a bread machine.

I have never tried a pie but I see no reason it wouldn't work. Its not a micro wave so you can use aluminum pie pans. You may have to experiment with the correct rack height. I always use the extender ring. I just use one or both wire racks to adjust the cooking. You can pretty much cook anything in this, you just have to keep an eye on it. Don't just turn it on 400 for 30 minutes and walk away. That's where a lot of folks burn food and blame the cooker. Hope this helps.

I'm very sorry that I am unable to answer your question. I purchased this flour for a person who bakes bread for the needy. We live several hundred miles apart from each other, so I really don't know any specifics about this kind of flour.

Hi. I generally use the ww pastry flour in the place of white flour for cakes etc, but it has more of a crumbly texture than the gummy texture you get from all purpose for breads. I don't know if it would work for naan and roti. When I make roti I sift regular ww flour to get some of the bran out and it comes out a texture pretty similar to roti flour. Hope that's helpful.
