When using this flour, you will notice it absorbs more liquid than all-purpose flour, leading to a slightly stiffer dough initially. It can be used on its own for recipes that demand its unique properties or blended with other flours to modify the final texture of baked goods. Proper hydration is key to achieving the best results.
How it differs from similar foods
All-purpose flour is more versatile for a wider range of baking but lacks the specific elasticity this flour provides.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness, store the flour in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. An airtight container is recommended to prevent moisture absorption and keep out pests. Once opened, it is best to use it within a few months for optimal baking performance. Refrigeration is not typically necessary unless storing for extended periods in a warm environment.
