Related: About this forumSelf rising flour
I have 10 lbs of self rising flour and I don't know what the hell to do with it. Can't get regular flour as it is obviously as important as bath tissue. So hubby picked this up for me when he saw it. He just didn't know Can anyone guide me as to what to do with this? I bake a lot (cakes, pies, cookies etc) for meals we serve here at our our food bank. Running low on regular flour. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx

"If you want to make a good pizza that's fast and easy, this is it. Cooking at a higher temperature (500 degrees F (260 degrees C)) is the key to making this the perfect pizza. It doesn't get any easier than this folks. Brush dough with olive oil and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy!"
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for kneading
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
cooking spray
Directions
Mix flour and Greek yogurt together in a bowl; transfer to a work surface floured with self-rising flour. Knead dough, adding more flour as needed to keep dough from being too sticky, for 8 to 10 minutes.
Spray a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray and spread dough to edges of pan.

But because the salt and baking powder-- if you had to add them to regular flour in a recipe-- would account for a teaspoon or so of volume, you might want to add another teaspoon or so of the self-rising flour to make the volume the same as regular flour + baking powder + salt.
(I don't know if that tiny amount of volume would make much difference, of course.)
I think it can be used for breads, cookies, biscuits, any recipe where baking powder would be an ingredient.
I'm not sure about cakes and pies though!

(31,847 posts)Self rising flour generally has a ratio of 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt per 1 cup all purpose flour. Depending on the recipe you are making, you may need to make adjustments for leavening and salt.
