Handy Tips
Want to know the secret of professional bakers? There is a flour available for every baking and cooking occasion.
If you’re baking a cake or biscuits from scratch, you need to look for flour with a low protein level of around 9 to 9.5 percent. Low protein allows the flour to absorb more sugar, giving it a softer texture.
