Ordinary flour: Ordinary flour can be divided into first-class flour, second-class flour, refined flour and high-precision flour according to the color of flour and the size of flour particles.
Flour particles of refined flour and high refined flour are smaller and finer, purer in color and free from noise. Steamed bread and steamed buns made of these two kinds of flour look smoother and taste more delicate than ordinary flour, and there are no impurities such as bran and dust. High-quality flour is more popular with restaurant owners, and the pasta made can achieve the effect of color, fragrance and taste. First-class powder is popular in the market. This kind of flour is raw flour and its color is light yellow. Fried dough sticks and oil cakes fried with this flour are not only delicious in color, but also crisp and sweet in taste.
Special flour:
Jiaozi powder: The reporter saw different brands of 13 kinds of jiaozi powder in a supermarket on Huayuan Road, with specifications ranging from 500g to 5000g. Consumers can buy according to their own needs. According to the salesperson, the jiaozi dough made of special jiaozi powder is fresh and tender, so people will not feel laborious when wrapping jiaozi, and it will not rot easily in the process of cooking jiaozi, and jiaozi will not stick together when cooked on a plate for a short time.
Self-raising flour: With the accelerated pace of life, there are fewer and fewer people steaming steamed buns at home. The reason is that the processing of steamed buns is complicated. From fermentation, kneading to final baking, the intermediate link should be operated four or five times. Self-raising flour is a kind of flour that can be fermented directly without any fermentation materials, and it is mostly used to make steamed buns and steamed buns. Because self-raising flour contains baking powder, you can easily make white and fresh steamed bread and steamed buns by mixing flour and water in proportion and putting them directly into the steamer.
Flour: Although there are more and more delicious foods in life, the northern people's habit of eating pasta has not changed. On the contrary, the public's demand for pasta is getting higher and higher. Noodle powder is a special powder for noodles. Compared with noodles made of ordinary flour, noodles made of Huimian and Lamian Noodles, as well as noodles made of them, have better texture and taste, and also have the characteristics of not rotting after long-term cooking. Huimian Noodles made of this flour is very labor-saving. After ordinary flour is kneaded into dough, it needs to be thrown. The longer it is thrown, the stronger the dough will be. However, the smart flour made of flour can only show the same effect after kneading for a few minutes.

If you want to make a cake and can't buy low-gluten flour, I suggest you make a cake with high-gluten flour or medium-gluten flour and corn starch ~
Low flour can be mixed with flour (never use the kind called "jiaozi flour", which has a lot of gluten) and corn starch in the ratio of 4: 1. If you want to reduce gluten, you can add some corn starch.
I always make muffins and snacks like this, and I can't buy them. I went to all the supermarkets and didn't get any. I finally learned to make my own low-gluten powder cream. We all buy gold diamonds. I wonder if I can buy it.
Low gluten flour is a kind of flour. The classification of high gluten flour and low gluten flour is related to the content of protein in flour. The protein content of high gluten flour is above 10%, and the protein content of low gluten flour is 6.5~8.5%. The content of protein near wheat husk is higher than that near the center, and the content of protein in hard wheat is high, which is generally used to produce high-gluten flour. Soft wheat is used to produce low-gluten flour. Sponge cake uses low-gluten flour, and fat cake uses medium-gluten flour. Because low-gluten flour has no gluten, the cakes made are particularly soft, loose and flat. The structure of oil cake itself is looser than sponge cake, and the structure of cake is further strengthened by using medium gluten powder. So as to become more compact and not loose. Raw flour is corn flour or water chestnut powder, which is usually used for cooking.
Medium gluten flour-General purpose flour is common in steamed buns, steamed bread, jiaozi and pancakes. The flour that is not specially marked in the general recipe is this.
High-gluten flour bread flowers are used to make bread.
Self-raising flour—I'm not sure what spontaneous flowers are for. According to the instructions on the package, it is said that even muffni cake can be made, but I won't use it to make cakes. I usually use it to bake cakes, which is a little softer than flour that doesn't usually make dough. It used to be used to make pizza, which is not as delicious as dough, but it tastes a little bit smaller than the one without dough.
Low-gluten flour-cake flour is used to make all kinds of cakes, biscuits and cakes. Westerners' supermarkets are placed in baking's place and packed in cartons, so 1 box weighs 2 Jin and costs about $3. I found Rizheng brand low-gluten flour 1 bag at the supermarket in Taiwan Province Province, China, at a price of 0.99 yuan. So in comparison, bags are cheaper. Generally speaking, if I make a big birthday cake or anniversary cake, I will pack it in a box. Generally, I will pack it in a bag when making snacks or ordinary cakes.
