AP flour

它是什么？

True to its name, all-purpose flour is a good choice for all kinds of baking because it has a middle-of-the-road protein content (between 9 and 13%). Cakes made with cake flour might be more tender, and loaves made with bread flour might rise higher, but the differences are subtle. All-purpose flour is also a good choice for other cooking jobs tackled by flour, such as thickening sauces and coating foods.

Kitchen math:

4.5盎司。通用面粉= 1杯

没有吗？

In a pinch, you can use cake flour (add 2 tablespoons more cake flour per 1 cup all-purpose flour)

How to choose:

Unless a recipe states otherwise, use unbleached all-purpose flour. Bleached flour contains additives that whiten flour and, in some cases, affect its baking properties.

How to prep:

对于最准确的测量，请使用比例。用叉子将面粉弄皱，以避免挤压面粉。将面粉从袋子中倒入干燥的量杯中，然后用刀将其倒入。切勿正确地形成袋子，这会将太多的面粉压入量杯中。不要摇晃或点击杯子，因为这也会把面粉打包。

How to store:

Store flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
