1. Bread flour
Bread flour has high content of high gluten (so it can be also called high-gluten flour which
contains high protein), it has good elastic and can keep the size of the bread from
collapsing after rise. As the gluten content is higher than the common flour, so it can be
used for making bread with large size and better inner fiber. Bread flour is the most
important ingredient of making bread.
2. Plain flour
Flour that contains no baking powder, it is applicable for making extouch bread.
3. Whole wheat flour
Whole-wheat flour is ground from grain. It contains wheat skin and gluten. Whole-wheat
flour is heavier and more nutrient than common flour. The bread made by whole-wheat
flour is usually small in size. So many recipes usually combine the whole -wheat flour or
bread flour to achieve the best result.
4. Black wheat flour
Black wheat flour, also named by“rough flour”, is a kind of high fiber flour that is similar to
whole wheat flour. To obtain the large size after rising it must be used in combination with
high proportion of bread flour.
5. Self-rising flour
A type of flour that contains baking powder, it is used for making cakes specially.
6. Corn flour and oatmeal flour
Corn flour and oatmeal flour are ground from corn and oatmeal separately. They are the
additive ingredients of making rough bread, which are used for enhancing the flavor and
texture.
7. Sugar
Sugar is very important ingredient to add sweet taste and color of bread. While it helps to
yeast bread as nourishment. White sugar is largely used. Brown sugar, powder sugar or
cotton sugar may be called by special requirements.
8. Yeast
Yeast passes doughly yeasting process, then produces carbon dioxide, making bread
expand and inner fibre soft. Howerver, yeast fast breeding needs carbohydrate in sugar
and flour as nourishment.
1 tsp. active dry yeast = ¾ tsp. instant yeast
5tsp. active dry yeast = 1 tsp. instant yeast
2 tsp. active dry yeast = 1.5 tsp. instant yeast
Yeast must be stored in the refrigerator, as the fungus in it will be killed at high
temperature, before using, check the production date and storage life of your yeast. Store
it back to the refrigerator as soon as possible after each use. Usually the failure of bread
rising is caused by the bad yeast.
