Homemade Bread Flour Substitute image

A baking component that often gets pricey-- AP flour is usually cheap and you can get generic/storebrand; I've yet to see storebrand bread flour. I got a box of vital wheat gluten on the clearance pile at Giant-- you can find this stuff at health food stores and big grocery stores, or purchase in smaller bulk quantities online. This is really convenient for recipes that call for only a cup or two of bread flour without necessitating purchasing and storing an extra sack that costs around $5-6 just for 5 pounds! The proportion is all the same-- 1 tsp gluten to 1 cup flour. If making 1/2 cup, use 1/2 tsp.

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 teaspoon vital wheat gluten
1 cup all-purpose flour
whole wheat flour, for binding (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, sift the proportional amounts of vital wheat gluten and AP flour together. If you have whole wheat flour, add a little bit (no more than 1/2 tsp-1 tsp or so per cup of AP flour) for nuttiness and substance as it adds to the weight that makes it better suited for bread and pretzel making.
