Has anyone tried making the self-rising flour substitute with gluten free all purpose flour?
Did you try it!? I’d love to know the results!
What if you don’t have a stand up mixer, can you hand mix and for how long
Delia it is really a myth that you need a stand up mixer for cooking. I have been cooking for 60 yrs and am a cookbook author and have never owned a stand up mixer. I personally really hate them because they are so much working cleaning them and the mess they make. Tawra did a video making this and she just hand stirred it. You can get it stir up and ready to roll out just in the amount of time it would take to get a stand mixer out it is so easy. Easy 2 ingredient Dough Recipes video
Can you just bake a loaf of bread with the Two Ingredient Dough? at what temperature?
You can make like an artisans bread with this. Then you would bake at about 450 degrees for about 30 mins. You may have to watch it and test it the first time depending on your oven etc.
Really excited to make these recipes!
Thank you for the substitution ingredients for the 1 cup of self rising flour. I see the recipe calls for 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of self rising flour. Using the substitution ingredients, would I have to make 2 cups of self-rising flour and use only 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of it?
Thank you.
I think you could get by with making 1 cup of self rising and then just add the extra 2 Tbsp. in regular flour. What happens is often recipes are rewritten from other countries that use metric so that is why it is an odd measurement. In this case it really shouldn’t make a difference like I said.
Can you make the dough and refrigerator it?
I am not sure Dessie because it is so simple I have never had to but I think you can because it is just like the pizza you dough you buy at the grocery store in the package like canned biscuits.
Do you have to let this dough set for a while to let rise before making the cinnamon rolls it didnt say anything of this
This dough doesn’t have yeast in it so you don’t let them rise.
Love this recipe that can be so easily changed.
I’d love to know how I can buy your cookbooks.
