I have a flour question

[Marg (CaymanDesigns)]

Just ran out of my bread flour and need to make a quick bread recipe tonight. I have pie/pastry flour. Is there anything I should adjust when using it in the recipe? Or should I not even try to use it?

Thanks,

I dont think you should try with pastry flour it doesnt have the gluten. I just use all-purpose for my bread and baking.

I don't have any all-purpose because I buy it in bulk and all they sell is pie/pastry and bread flour.

Hey Marg, I just found this website in case you are still interested - http://www.akiskitchen.ca/ingredients/flours_1.html

I agree with Tasb, I wouldn't use pastry flour for bread.

Thanks all, I tried to alter a muffin recipe I had that actually called for pastry flour but since I wanted almond flavor rather than lemon I had to alter some ingredients. They weren't very good though so we went and got donuts for breakfast instead.
