Flour is a pantry staple used in everything from tender cakes and chewy breads to crisp coatings, thick sauces, pancakes, dumplings, and homemade pasta. All-purpose flour is the most versatile choice, while bread flour, cake flour, whole wheat flour, and self-rising flour each bring different texture and structure to recipes. In baking, flour provides body and absorbs moisture, helping doughs and batters hold together. In savory cooking, it can thicken gravies, create a roux for creamy sauces, or form a light crust on fried or sautéed foods. For best results, measure flour carefully, avoid overmixing tender batters, and choose the type of flour that matches the recipe. Small changes in flour can make a big difference in rise, chew, crumb, and flavor.
