I primarily add wheat gluten to my bread recipes which provides the extra gluten that whole-grain loaves need to rise their highest. It's particularly helpful in loaves that use low-gluten or whole grain flours, such as rye, oat, or buckwheat. I have no idea what it will do for noodles. Give it a try, and let me know if it improves the noodles. I am sure it would improve the elasticity of the noodles.Gluten provides yeast bread's structure, and helps it rise and stay risen.

Nope, it is bread flour and not AP flour. No need to add more gluten--it works great for making bread.

Yes, but I think you would need other "flours" as well. I use a combination of white rice flour, some bean flour, tapioca starch and potato starch.

Yes. It makes wonderful bread. I also have found it to be superior to other flours for making ravioli or Chinese dumplings. It has lots of gluten and therefore makes a dough with a lot of tensile strength. This means I can roll pasta or wonton dough down to the thinnest setting and form the filled dumplings of whatever ethnic persuasion without worrying about ripping the dough. It has a great flavor for basic flour-water-salt-yeast bread. I still use cheap AP or bread flour for when the flavor or gluten of the flour doesn't matter much, e.g. in dense multi-grain breads, gravy thickening, etc. -- or when you really don't want much gluten as in muffins, biscuits, etc.

yes, but I prefer to use if for making pizza dough or home made pasta noodles

Certain recipes like biscuits for example call for self rising flour which usually has a leavening agent and salt mixed in. I like to be able to tweak those separately such as adding or decreasing the baking soda or powder depending on the texture I am looking for and the acidity that may already be in a recipe so I keep the regular cake flour on hand.

Maybe 3 cups of anything. Starch from noodles may plug steam vents in top, trapping steam. Could explode. Is best used for steaming non-starch veggies.

I am not clear about what your question is. I have celiac disease and I use sorghum flour in a flour mixture as my all purpose flour. I use it just as I would use regular flour in my recipes. If this answer does not answer your query, please do write back.

If you add salt to noodle dough, it will make it brittle while boiling and it will fall apart. The best way to add salt to any pasta is in the boiling water.

There is another attachment called the "extruder" for pasta types like Penne, hollow spaghetti, etc. with that you are complete for almost all types of pasta. Have fun.

I pour the 5lb bag of flour into mine. Looking at my container i believe you can.

No, it wouldn't work, it will "rice" potatoes or eggs, but they come out so short/small/fine, noodles wouldn't stay together, better off with pasta maker

Yes you can, I did it sometimes but I used it more to make a flour for ma home made bread :-)

I use this in my bread maker all the time. Sometimes it's used with other flours but often I use it in place of bread flour.

I don't think it could. It is designed to powder the grain. I have not tried it,l but I think my pasta maker would be a better choice.

I also use this for making pasta. Flour might be to fine for scones but try it for bread. I do make bread sticks.

I have not tried using it in place of flour. We use it like Bisquick, for biscuits and pancakes.I would imagine it would work. You may have to adjust the amount of liquid though, sometimes it's a bit sticky
