How people cook with it
Flour is a fundamental ingredient for creating many baked goods and thickening sauces. Its texture and binding properties are essential for structure and consistency.
- Baking cakes and cookies
- Making bread dough
- Thickening gravies
- Coating fried foods
All-purpose flour is used in countless recipes. It forms the base for cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads. It is also crucial for yeast-leavened breads, providing the structure that allows them to rise. When making sauces or gravies, it can be cooked with fat to create a roux, which thickens the liquid. For fried items, a light dusting of flour helps the coating adhere and become crispy.
