This is very interesting (also love Anne and her newsletter)! I knew a bit about protein and flour from making homemade pizza dough. I definitely didn’t know that cake flour has corn starch, though! Also thanks for linking to your earlier post about translating ingredients to/from American--such a fun idea for a post!
So happy to be included in your helpful post, Rachel! At the end of the day, use the flour you like best. But don’t suffer through lousy grainy flour! There is so much nice silky aromatic flour out there. Try new brands and give rye a chance too!
