Yes you can. On my package it has a recipe for a Coffee cake. BTW makes great blueberry muffins!

no, to use as cake flour you will need to add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to every 2 cups of pancake mix, plus you are going to need to add a pinch of baling powder as this mix only has 2 and 3/4 teaspoon baking powder in every 2 cups.

This is a multi-grain flour, cake flour has corn starch in it which makes it feel softer. You could try adding 3 tablespoons of corn starch and sift it at least 3 times but I would not guarantee your results as I myself have not tried this, you will also have to consider that this mix already has baking powder and salt and it does not have the normal 3 teaspoons of baking powder but it has slightly less about 2 3/4 teaspoon baking powder.

It probably would but cake flour works best for better taste.Dont use pancake batter.

It's flour. I've had some coconut "flour" that was more on the shredded coconut side but this stuff is definitely flour.

I use it for cakes, muffins, pancakes, cookies, brownies, quick breads, etc. with great success. I do not like the results for yeasted breads or for pastry doughs (pie crust, etc.) very much though - I would stick to bread flour or all purpose flour for those.

I think bread flour makes it rise better than regular flour. Never used Machine flour. Might be the same as bread flour. You never know until you experiment. The machine works beautifully though. You'll like it.

No... We use it in lieu of regular flour. Sometimes you may have to adjust the formula somewhat... But it is truly the best option that we have found to date for gluten free. I hope this helps.

I presume you are referring to a pie crust. If so, I would not recommend using this flour. This flour is a high protein flour which is fantastic for pizza dough but makes for a chewy pie crust. I would recommend using a pastry or cake flour for a good flaky pie crust.

To answer it simply, No! since this product contains no gluten,therefore not suitable to replace the all purpose flour for baking. However depending on bow confident you are with baking, in some recipes you can substitute a small amount of regular all purpose flour with the almond meal/flour. I use this product for French macaroon and baklava. I hope this is helpful.

Swan CAKE flour has a 6-8% protein content. It is chlorinated to further break down the strength of the gluten. Good for making cakes. PASTRY flour is similar to cake flour, although it has not been chlorinated, and it has a 8-10% protein content. Good fot making pastry, pies, cookies. All purpose flour has 10-12% protein content Bread flour has 12-14% protein content.

I'm sorry Vonda, I'm not much help here ... I personally think this blend of "Artisan Flour" is useless. The only thing that it makes well is a roux. Though I must admit, your question has me intrigued to try it again since I still have a whole bag sitting in my pantry which I said I would not use again, after wasting the other whole bag on recipes of which none turn out. We have been gluten free for over 12 yrs so I'm in no way a novice to GF cooking or baking. I just don't like this mix. If you do make them let us know here how they turned out.

I use as an all purpose flour and works great in quick breads and yeast breads. It is a finely ground 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.

Tapioca starch is the same as Tapioca flour Nicholas ! I know it can be confusing but don't be afraid it is the same thing !

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.

I checked the package and said can be used to replace flour in quick breads which would mean no eggs or yeast. So I doubt that would work. I hope that helps. Its an awesome GF flour mix though, I use it chocolate chip cookies, banana bread and its awesome!

I am not sure what why a presumed lower gluten content has to do with suitability for yeast dough- it's the starch/carbohydrate content what yeast needs. Off course, lower gluten content makes it more difficult to work with it, but that's the case with full grain flour anyway. the problem with bread/ all purpose flour is that the bakery becomes very " bready" . The pastry flour is very fine and has a mild taste, far more suitable for cakes/pastry. I do not make specifically roti/naan but I do make yeast dough pizza and the whole pastry flour is just perfect for that.

I have used this flour in my sponge bread recipe and it turns out very good. A bit heavy but love the taste and texture. You could substitute part white bread flour to make it a bit lighter. I really like this flour.
