Can this flour be used for making other than pizzas? Bread or scones for example; maybe adding it to a bread recipe along with the bread flour?

Yes. It makes wonderful bread. I also have found it to be superior to other flours for making ravioli or Chinese dumplings. It has lots of gluten and therefore makes a dough with a lot of tensile strength. This means I can roll pasta or wonton dough down to the thinnest setting and form the filled dumplings of whatever ethnic persuasion without worrying about ripping the dough.It has a great flavor for basic flour-water-salt-yeast bread. I still use cheap AP or bread flour for when the flavor or gluten of the flour doesn't matter much, e.g. in dense multi-grain breads, gravy thickening, etc. -- or when you really don't want much gluten as in muffins, biscuits, etc. Yes.

Sorry, but I have only used it for pizza so far. Other reviews have mentioned making bread with it.

I also use this for making pasta. Flour might be to fine for scones but try it for bread. I do make bread sticks.

Hi, as an experienced baker, I would advise this way. You can not use bread flour for everything. It is only for bread/bagels etc. Anything that needs high protein/high gluten which equals chew. I imagine you could use it for sauces, but I don't. I use Wondra for sauces. I use GREAT RIVER MILLING's whole wheat pastry flour for baked goods such as cookies, cakes, nut breads and it works BEAUTIFULLY, you can not even tell it is WW flour. If you have kids, they will never know any different. I don't think I've used their regular wheat. I did buy some WW Bread flour that I did not realize had part of the bran removed, but I will not buy again as my customers want Whole Wheat. Hi, as an experienced baker, I would advise this way.

I love this flour! I use it for everything, interchangeably with all purpose flour. The only differences I've noticed are you may need to add a bit more liquid and a hair more baking powder. I actually just made a batch of cranberry orange muffins last night, perfect and delicious...

I think it is great for pasta. I tried it mixed with all purpose flour for pizza crust, but the texture was too tough. The texture is not as fine as regular flour..

We have not made Pizza dough but pg. 35 of the instructions has a recipe for it. It should not be a problem. The recipe does require semolina flour and olive oil. It is probably not a problem.

You can use this in place of white flour in almost anything. It's very fine. I love it!

Yes! We use it weekly for pizza dough. Just use the recipe in the book or write to me and I will give you the one we use. I also make Honey Oat bread on the dough cycle (number 7 on my breadmaker) and bake it in my regular oven for a different shape loaf.

It's done well in both cakes and muffins, as well as cookies. You could probably blend it with an all-purpose or cake flour, but I've never felt the need.

Bought this as a gift for a friend. Sorry, not sure if gluten free flour can be used or not. I would assume it would be fine, but I myself have not used the product. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I use this flour to make my GF bread and I use granular yeast with it and it taste very good, or try GF baking powder for cakes.

I do not make bread loaves from it. I make pizza crust. By adding Italian seasonings it makes great pizza crusts

Neither. It is an unbleached white flour ground specifically for pizza and bread dough. It is used 100% in pizza dough and normally blended at 10-20% with all purpose flour for bread dough.

I use this flour for thin-crust pizza, about 50/50 with all purpose. If you want to make delicious round loaf, crunchy crust, Italian bread, use all purpose flour and follow the recipe for "No-Knead Bread" from the NY Times that you can Google.

it can be used for pastry flour but I use it mainly for cake baking because in is a much finer flour than all purpose flour. Therefore cakes are lighter in texture when baking.

I like the bread mix for different types of yeast breads, pizza crust etc. I use the pancake mix for light breads and pancakes of course. They each bake to a different texture.

I only know that this flour is typically used for the underside of a pizza dough...sprinkled on your breadboard before flattening your dough...it keeps the pizza from sticking and it adds in a more crunchy crust.

It is the same flour. I checked and there was a post discussing this issue. They call it (the Pizzeria flour) Chef's Flour for marketing purposes depending on who the reseller is. MUCH!!! better than all purpose.
