First off, let me throw out the disclaimer that I am not much of baker. At ALL!
I have used A/P flour for everything I've ever cooked or baked. I think.
However, I want to try a recipe for the February Fast Food challenge that calls for "bread flour", so I got some. A 5 lb. bag.
And, awhile ago, I saw a recipe here that I was dying to make that called for "self-rising flour". I finally found some of that today, and all they had was a 5 lb. bag, but I got it anyway. 'Course, I can't remember the recipe I wanted to make or who posted it - I'm hoping I'll stumble across it again.
Okay, so, I have a small townhouse, with hardly any storage space, and 15 lbs of flour.
My question is, can I use the bread flour and the self-rising flour to do things like shake my chicken pieces in and make gravies and sauces? Can I use bread flour to bake cookies? Those are pretty much the only things I do with flour.
The only successful bread I've ever made was the NYTimes No-Knead bread.
Any other EASY ideas for the two new flours?
