HELP! Urgent question re: all-purpose vs. self-rising flour


Recommended Posts

Is bread flour and self-rising flour the same thing?

 

The recipe calls for 2 c. all-purpose flour. All I have is a huge bag of "bread flour". The recipe does say what to do if you use self-rising flour, I just need to make sure that's what I have.

 

I'm leaving in 2 hrs. and have to have a dessert made to take to a friend's house and no time to run to the store.

 

Thanks,

Kimm

I'm making shortcakes for strawberry shortcake.

 

It says use 2 c. all-purpose flour. If using self-rising flour, it says to omit baking powder and salt.

 

What do you think?

Your lucky! You could use either :)

 

If it were me, I would use the self rising because I wouldn't use it that often and flour doesn't last all that long.

Bread flour is higher in gluten which makes it better for making breads. However, it does not contain baking powder like self-rising does. Therefore, you will still need to add the baking powder and salt to the recipe.
