Do you use this flour the same as you would regular flour in recipes?

I haven't used it myself yet, but my husband used it for cooking chicken breasts for dinner tonight. He "cut" it with regular flour. He said it had a higher heat tolerance and didn't tend to burn like all plain flour might. I could not taste any coconut flavor at all. I am thinking this might be gluten free as well, but I am not an expert in GF standards. I really liked it, and so did my husband, who is the main cook/chef in the family.

In order to get the best results baking with coconut flour, you need to use a recipe written for coconut flour. It is not a good flour to substitute. It has very unique qualities unlike any other flour. It is also important to sift coconut flour before measuring or weighing. You don't need a sifter. You can easily sift it using a metal strainer with fine holes and a spoon.

No, it's very heavy and grainy. I would sift it next time or use less of it. Or mix it with reg flour.

This brand of coconut flour has been defatted - just a little oil remains. Therefore it is very dry and it will need more liquid. Baking is a science, so just about any recipe will have to be tweaked until you get it the way you like it. A New Orleans recipe just don't work in Denver. Coconut flour, in my experience, don't work in high heat (frying) as does wheat flour.

No absolutely not. This stuff is gritty and needs to be diluted with other gluten type flours. I had great expectations being a diabetic and ordered this flour without knowing the properties. I kind of wish I would have known this but I use it sparingly in recipes.

No. It consumes much more liquid. Check out Civilized Caveman, CarrieBrown, Against All Grain for great recipes using coconut flour. We make the best cookies out of them. And pancakes too

No, not exactly one for one. Coconut flour requires more liquid and I let my mixture sit awhile longer to let it absorb that liquid or else the product - muffins, pancakes, breads is too dry. You can find recipes on the internet for the coconut flour variety of whatever you wish to bake.

It is ready to use. I used it like I would all purpose flour. It is not just for baking bread!

Did you mix the ingredients thoroughly? I've never had an issue with texture. Also is this the only flour you are using? I usually mix several different types together.

you can use it like flour and make biscuits. I don't know if their recipes in their bag or booklet have any good biscuit recipes but it works very similar to any other bake mix just with changes in the way you cook

I left it closed in the kitchen, just as regular flour.... It worked out for me... But I'm no expert! :)

Yes! I've even made muffins from a regular recipe and just subbed this one. They turn out great. My fave flour blend yet!

It all depends on your recipe. I usually find a recipe that calls for almond flour rather than just substitute it myself as a direct replacement for flour.

Yes you do. 1 tsp of conditioner in each cup of flour (to make a full cup) is the only difference for a recipe.

This Flour must be mixed with other ingredients in order to make any type of GF flour based recipe. I am a big fan of Annalise G. Roberts. Hers was the first GF Baking Classics Cookbook I bought. You must realize that GF flour mixtures are very delicate and I have found it best to buy ready made Pastas. However if you are an adventurous soul, go for it and good luck.

AP flour works just fine. I use it all the time when I don't have bread flour.

I have both, and I don't see any difference. Any 00 flour is quite different from U.S. all purpose flour.

You can use it for anything you would use flour for. It is just a lot denser than regular flour so you must use it sparingly.

Yes! I use it all the time in place of cornstarch and flour. You just need to mix it with a liquid before you add it, just like you do with cornstarch. It's perfect for someone on a gluten free diet. I'm not sure about how much to use when using it as a substitute, I haven't quite figured that out yet.

I would try the recipe with half all-purpose, except I use unbleached white and do the other half with a whole wheat flour and see how it turns out. Good Luck!!

It is packaged like the regular flour in the store. I had mine for a long time without deterioration of the product.

According to the instructions, NO. It is not to be used in recipes requiring yeast. So I haven't even tried it.I did just make muffins and used the gluten flour instead of wheat flour and the muffins are great.

I here you use it just like flour. I wanted it for my hair I color my hair. In between coloring I dab roots with a make up brush and arrow root instead of talc
