Flour Question

[NotRocketScience]

I only received my TMX yesterday but I really need to tidy up my pantry and use up stuff that I wont be needing anymore.

I bought a 5kg bag of baker's flour. Can I replace all other flour with baker's flour? ie plain, self raising (by adding yeast) or should I keep some of plain, SR and 00 (for pasta) on hand?

It's all a little bit confusing.

I use bakers flour for anything that calls for white flour or flour, I do also use wholemeal flour so have that in my pantry, make SR flour using the EDC recipe (not adding yeast, it is either baking soda or baking powder...thinking BP)
Think it really comes down to individual choice and what suits you.

I think that you may find that the Bakers flour can be used for pasta. I would still keep plain flour and you can convert it to SR by adding to it. I THINK the Bakers flour may have too much gluten for cakes.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

I would keep all the different flours,  except the SR flour.  The bread flour can be used in biscuits and for pasta but not cakes. I can understand you wanting to limit the ingredients in your pantry,  but this depends a lot on what sort of cooking you do.
