What is instant or quick mixing flour?

Instant or quick mixing flour, also known as bread flour or high-gluten flour, is a type of wheat flour that has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour.

- The higher protein content gives bread flour a stronger gluten network, which results in a dough that is more elastic and has a better rise.

- Bread flour is also more absorbent, so it can hold more water and produce a moister loaf of bread.

- Because of its higher protein content, bread flour is best suited for yeast breads, such as sandwich bread, dinner rolls, and pizza crust.

- It can also be used in other baked goods, such as cookies and cakes, but it will produce a denser, chewier texture.
