HOW TO MAKE BREAD FLOUR 

Did you know you can easily make your own bread flour at home? With just a few simple ingredients and about 5 minutes of your time, you’ll be ready to bake soft, fluffy sourdough loaves and irresistibly chewy bagels. This quick and convenient DIY bread flour recipe saves you from those last-minute grocery runs!

INGREDIENTS

  • 500g all-purpose flour
  • 20g vital wheat gluten (also known as gluten flour)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Place a medium-sized bowl under a fine mesh strainer or flour sifter.
  • Add the all-purpose flour, followed by the vital wheat gluten.
  • Gently tap the strainer or operate the flour sifter’s handle to sift the mixture into the bowl.
  • Once fully sifted, transfer the flour blend to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 6 months.
  • Use your homemade bread flour as a 1:1 replacement for store-bought bread flour in recipes.

NOTES

Storage:

  • Keep the bread flour in a cool, dry, and dark place like a pantry or cupboard.
  • Use within 6 months. For longer storage, transfer it to a gallon-sized freezer bag and freeze until needed.

Cup Measurements:

  • This recipe yields about 2 ¼ cups of homemade bread flour.
  • For cup measurements: Use 4 cups + 2 tbsp + 2 tsp of all-purpose flour and 2 tbsp + ¾ tsp of vital wheat gluten.
  • Note: Cup measurements are approximate and can vary based on humidity and measuring techniques. For the best accuracy, weigh your ingredients.

KETO ELECTROLYTE GUMMIES

These sugar-free electrolyte gummies are simple to make and require just a few ingredients. Plus, you can choose from a variety of delicious flavors! In this post, I also share other electrolyte powder options and helpful tips you might find useful.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tube of Zip Fizz
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 3 Tablespoons Gelatin

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, combine the water, heavy whipping cream, and electrolyte powder. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir to mix.
  • Once the powder is fully dissolved into the liquid, add the gelatin. A gel will begin to form on the surface.
  • Stir the gel into the liquid. As the mixture heats up, the gelatin will dissolve completely. If bubbles form while stirring, that’s perfectly fine. Let the mixture settle for a few minutes before gently stirring again.
  • Pour the mixture into your molds and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set.

Notes

  • For additional tips and electrolyte powder options, check the post above the recipe.
