Bread four
1 teaspoon vital wheat gluten
1 cup all purpose flour
I make 5 lbs at a time or do it as needed. Store in an airtight container. The bucket was from Home Depot and the lids are from Amazon amzn.to/44gmcMd
Here is the vital wheat gluten we use www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=...
Here is another I have used as well on Amazon amzn.to/49SK5KP
The best price on many of our pantry staples is Azure Standard. We love their apple juice cranberries, chocolate chips, oats, molasses, flour and just about anything we have purchased. www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=...

Thankyou Ma'am. My wife passed just about a year ago and I was promotted to head cook and wana be baker for two children. While my bisquet pucks are getting better I'm still learning about the rest. I am now a subscriber, you and the kind readers have been a great help. God bless.
Have fun 💚
My pleasure 😊 you can do this!
So very sorry for your loss. Hint… don’t overmix your biscuits!
Very sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry. You've got this. Take good care. /Cherie
I have made my own bread flour for years. You save even more if you purchase organic flour. I can find 5 lbs of organic flour for about $6. I also use Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten Flour, which is less expensive and I purchase it at Natural Grocers. You can also make your own cake flour by adding 2 Tablespoons of corn starch to 1 cup all purpose flour. (APF)
Thanks for this information.😊
Thanks for sharing! I love tip from y’all.
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for that tip as well!
Thank you, I'm writing that cake flour tip down in my baking NOTES:.
My biggest problem is the QUALITY of the commercially available flour. I’m really glad you added the part at the end about the Costco organic unbleached flour. The cheap commercial Sams club/Kroger regular all purpose flour is GMO over processed crap. I did recently buy a grain mill and sourced single mill organic ancient grain hard red wheat, I’ll add the vital gluten to what I mill.
So funny that you sound just like me! I'm tired of buying all these things with a ton of ingrediance and no taste all the while over paying for them. I'm too old for that 🤬I just found this video after finding the best recipe for sandwich bread and using bread flour. And I just bought more bread flour, so it peeked my interest when I saw that I could make it. Thank you 🥰😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘( I'm turning 60, I can do that and be weird! LOL)
I’m weird too!
I love your practical, friendly presentations!
Glad you like them! I’m just me so glad people seem to enjoy it 😂
What a great idea. I just started adding a tablespoon of vital wheat gluten in some of my bread recipes then I found your video. Thank you
Just came across your channel; you remind me of my niece I don’t get to see often. You keep it real and that’s how she is. I bake bread and Kolaches a lot. My grandmother was Bohemian and made a lot of Czech pastries, so I have her 150 year old family recipe for bread and I keep it going in my family. Oh well, I enjoy the show.
I haven’t tried a kolaches yet but was just reading about them. Yum! Welcome.
@@delfine7163 That would be awesome. I agree! Can we get the recipe @larrytate4586
Keep teaching the young ones! All my grandmothers German recipes died with her.
Brilliant money saving idea. Thank you so much.
Thanks for letting me know how to save our money. Muchas gracias por todo
Excellent video! We all need to save on groceries these days. Just found your channel- looking forward to binging your content.
Hi just want to give u a huge virtual hug for this one. Knocked it clean out of the park into the stratosphere. Way to go. I wrote out the recipe gonna try it myself🥰. Thanks a bunch
Wow, thank you!
OMG. I'm so happy that I found this tutorial. I have a lot of AP flour but this weekend I ran out of Bread flour and was not able to bake because all my recipes ask for bread flour. I have a bag of Vital Wheat Glutten that I got to bake a German Dark Rye Sourdough bread and have no idea how to use the rest. Thanks to you I plan to convert my AP to bread flour. I will be telling you at the end of the week how my bread turned out. Looking forward to make some of your recipes. Thank you so much. Happy Baking!
You are so welcome! I look forward to hearing back.
That’s a great idea. I had never thought of doing that.
I have used this recipe a couple of times now and I will never go back. Thank you so much for sharing this. My sourdough is so much better since doing this. Honestly I will never go back.
You are so welcome! I love to hear it worked for others.
Great idea. I’ve been using gluten flour in my bread since the 1970’s. I add to single recipes but your idea is great for people who make a lot.
This is the first time coming across your channel and I really like it. Thank you, have a wonderful day.
Welcome!
Great ideas. I make all my baking products also. Will definitely give this a try.
Great tip ! I’ve been making sourdough and always use bread flour so this is gonna save me some money 🙏
Thank you so much for your videos about making your own bread, flour, and on baking powder. I’ll make our own bread at home and have for years, and I know this stuff is easy I just have not looked it up. Glad I found your videos today I will be making my ownbread flour now
Welcome!
I was so jazzed to come across this video today. I was at Sam’s today with my hubby, and had to promise him I would figure a way to make bread flour. I was trying to buy bread flour, but to my dismay they didn’t sell it. They only had the a p flour in bulk. He didn’t want to spend the money on a large quantity of flour. ( he can be very short sighted when it comes to buying in bulk, but when we get down to brass tacks and start figuring out the per oz cost, he will eventually give in. He said I probably wouldn’t find a way to create the bread flour, to which I reminded him that if it’s possible, it’s on the internet. Anyway, back to the beginning. I am sooo glad to have just happened across your channel. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us. See you next time. Kathy in Dallas😓🥴🤑
Buying in bulk as long as you use it saves so much most of the time. There are some items that this isn’t the case so we breakdown the price like you did. Good job! Sam’s does have a bread flour online as well if you don’t mind paying shipping. If you have their more expensive membership it does ship free. It is pretty good and I use it often. It’s called pizza and bread flour and comes 25 lbs at a time. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Thank you for this channel. I appreciate your down to earth approach. And lack of being snooty!!! Yes, real people shop at Walmart, Costco, Meijer, etc. to stay within their family budgets!! You don't direct viewers to Whole Foods, etc. where prices are ridiculous for a normal family.
I’m cheap!!!! Or real. I cannot afford to shop like that either. I’m all about being real and thank you for appreciating it. ❤️
I have always wondered about this, but I never did the research. So, thank you very much. I make these Lion House Rolls (which are the best dinner rolls you'll ever have) & it calls for 2/3 cups of instant non-fat dry milk. WoW, what a difference it makes. The dough is so nice to work with. Anyways, thanks for the tip, Love your channel. Have a Great Day!😊
I just bought a bread machine so I really appreciate your sharing this recipe for bread flour! It truly is quite expensive and I live on a tight budget bring on a fixed income.
I just ordered a small ouch of the vital wheat gluten, 12oz on sale right now for $7.99! So it was great finding your video today while that was on sale! It was an awesome tip!
You are so welcome!
The ingredients in bread flour are hard (vs soft) wheat flour, and Malted barley flour. I don’t know how to “malt” the barley flour, but that’s what gives the higher protein & therefore rising power.
I don’t have the space to store all the kinds of flour, so I do use vital gluten flour to assist my whole wheat breads in their rising. The instructions on Bobs Red Mill gluten flour suggest 1 T gluten flour per C of whole wheat flour. So I just add that as I make each batch of bread instead of having it premixed in the flour
You can add malt powder to it also. I bought Diastatic malt powder from King Arthur flour
Will this work for pasta flour
Thank You for this tip. You are fantastic!
Thank you!!!! ☺️
Brilliant!! Thank you
I bought a nice bread machine not realizing I need to use bread flour with it. Regular flour never works out for me in the machine, & I hate that. This video was really useful for me. Thanks
I love my bread machine. I use it for everything.
thank u so much for this. Recently I saw a recipe for copycat dave bread and they said to use vital wheat gluten but it was expensive for just that one recipe but now will definitely buy since I can make my own bread flour plus share with my daughter in law who started baking bread
Thank you. I bake two loaves a week. I recently switched to King Arthur because it makes better quality bread than Walmart. (It's probably the gluten).
These types of tutorials are great. I also recently watched a video about how to make heavy cream which I'm going to try because half and half is a must for coffee.
How do you make the heavy cream? I use half-and-half in my tea.
@@barbaracluse5874I haven't made any yet because I still have half and half in the fridge. I bought some milk to experiment with but I decided to make yogurt instead which I've been making for several decades.
According to the videos I saw it requires blending melted, unsalted butter with milk.
I am a new subscriber and I love to bake a lot and learn new recipes. I home can and recently got a vacuum sealer for dried goods. I am presently learning all I can to make things from scratch to save on money and learn how to use fresh grown herbs as well as garden grown veggies to make meals go further and again save money.
Love your thoughts on learning. It’s fun and important. Welcome!
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa Thank you so much. God Bless
I’m so new to all this , I’ve only made a few things , took forever to get starter to work, now I’ve had two loaves wouldn’t rise up, so I saw yet another video of ladies using bread flour, I have no room in my small kitchen left but I said ok I’ll try that, I was looking at phone and saw your video. At first I passed it I’m video to death, but I went back to see what you had to offer , and sounds good to me I’ll give it a try along with everything else lol
Thanks

Welcome! Give it a try. Is you yeast new? Often when it doesn’t rise it’s the yeast or when you are letting it rise I would pop it in a warmer placeZ
Thank you for this recipe!
Any time!
you are amazing, thank you Ali!❤
You're so welcome!
Awesome tip!
Thank you for this!
I have always added the Gluten to my AP Flour while I'm assembling my bread ingredients. That way I don't have a special "Bread Flour" container. Just AP Flour and Gluten containers. Also I make my own baking powered - 1 part Bicarbonate of Soda and 2 parts Cream of Tartar mixed as I need it. (No Self Rising Flour Containers either)
Agreed! I buy large amounts of AP flour and bags of WWG for bread making, the only way to go!
Totally agree!
Thank you for the very enlightening video. Bread flour is very expensive where I live so I will try to get the VWP on line and give it a try.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! I just checked Amazon and they sell a variety of brands of vital wheat gluten in various sizes.
Very great idea!!!!!
Milling my own flour is the greatest thing I’ve ever done!!!! Soaking the flour with the water in a recipe is SO SO HELPFUL!!! Loved this video! Do you use all organic and unbleached AP flour? I swear by those 2 things!! Keep bringing great videos!!!!! I just happened to see this one in my feed. Looking forward to “catching up” and also get ahold of some great recipes!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is amazing. I will try. For your bulk make, that’s 6 tbsp of vital wheat gluten since there are 3 tsp in 1 tbsp.
Excellent. Thank you!
I’m even having trouble finding Bread Flour in stores at times🥴. So I too have resorted to adding vital gluten to AP flour.. Getting the right measurement is what I’ve been working on🤔🤔. Thanks for sharing the measurement you use.
First time seeing yr video and it was how to make aluminum free baking powder. Thank you very much. I am now a subscriber and will keep watching and learning
Thanks and welcome
New subbie here! I'm so excited to learn this! Can't wait to explore the rest of your videos.
Welcome aboard!
I buy a 25# bag AP flour for $15 from a restaurant supply place I live near. Got a bag of that gluten online for a few bucks. Mix as I need per recipe only because I like to make certain things chewier. I make my own bagels, pizza dough, sub rolls, all sorts of other breads. Honestly got tired of the sub par options around me. Great video.
Yep. I do that. In rough numbers, the difference between AP and Bread flour is about 1% - 1.5%, depending on the brand. I use 500g of AP (from Sam's) for my basic bread recipe and add a couple of teaspoons of gluten to make it "bread flour". Works great and A LOT cheaper than a 5# bag of bread flour.
I love self rising flour to make pancakes - makes great pancakes. Pancake recipe so easy:
1 1/4 cups self-rising flour
* 2 tablespoons white sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 1/4 cups water or milk to your desired consistency (I use rice milk)
Add vanilla for best pancakes
Use coconut oil in pan for cooking
Thank you! I have my grandmother's whole wheat bread recipe which I've kind of adapted to the bread machine... Grandma just added twice the yeast of a "normal" bread recipe; hers uses an entire 5 lb bag! Sometimes it works, sometimes it comes out like a lead balloon. ha. Besides halving the amounts so it will fit in my bread maker, I use a white whole wheat flour (the tannins in red wheat dislike me a lot-- I get the white whole wheat from a Kroger affiliate out here, but grinding your own works). I will try adding the gluten to the whole wheat and see how that goes. I've never seen whole wheat bread flour in any store I've been to.
Back when my son could eat gluten, I made whole wheat bread in a bread machine. I added vital wheat gluten to help the rise.
Just subscribed. What a great selection of goodies!
Thanks for subbing!
Thank you for this information
The cheapest flour at my Walmart is $2.38 for 5lbs I couldn’t find any vital wheat gluten sadly but I just made my own bread today for the first time and it came out amazing!!!!! It looked and tasted sooo much better than store bread I’m never buying store bread again lol (I might cuz I’m lazy 😅) but it’s so good i made a loaf of bread and I made buns for my cheeseburgers I had for dinner!! But now I need a nap lol that was hard work haha ❤❤❤
Appreciate the common sense awareness! Thanks!
Thank you very much!
I do quite a bit of baking too. So I started buying Sam's Club ap flour and vital wheat gluten and have been making my own bread flour. It can't get any easier
Thanks for the info
Nice. I always fortify things with vital wheat gluten 🙂
What?!!!🥰 Thank you. I have vital wheat gluten in my cabinet. I’m so going to try this❣️
Do it!!!!!
Doing it today! I’ve had great success in my sourdough. Recently, got some cheap AP flour….like 20lbs🤦🏻♀️ made bread 😢 Hubs was like “ What happened 😳” Often I’ll mix sir Arthur bread flour with AP👍 but I’m out. I’ll update 🥰
It works❣️ 🙏
Awesome!
I am gobsmacked at the price you pay for bread flour. I am in Northern Ireland where EVERYTHING usually costs an absolutely fortune. We make all our own homemade breads too but a 1.5kg bag of bread flour(which is around 3.3lbs for you) only costs me £1.09. ($1.36 in Dollars) And all other bags of flour are around the £1 mark too or less, for instance the Plain flour I buy is only 70p ($0.88)for a 1.5kg bag. And that's with the price hikes and inflation numbers through the roof. I am genuinely shocked at the your prices. Usually American prices are way better than ours. Great video, I didn't even know it was possible to buy wheat gluten. Lee :)
I need to love to Northern Ireland! It truly makes me wonder why there is such a huge cost difference. Weird question for you. What good is your area known for? I love to make foods from other areas but lack the ideas.
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa oh my goodness, what food are we not known for, lol. Being an Island, we have incredible fish dishes like chowders and Dublin prawns are enjoyed the world over. But we are also a nation of farmers. Our diary products and meats are truly some of the best. If you've ever had the pleasure of eating Irish butter, you'd instantly taste the quality and notice the flavour difference. We are also big vegetable growers and potato farmers, so making things like potato bread and Irish boxty is very common (a boxty is like a potato pancake and is usually served with your main. So it can be stuffed with delicious fillings or served along side a meal). We also love soda bread, soda farls etc. A soda farl cut in half, toasted and smothered in Irish butter then topped with fried mushrooms, bacon if you want and brown sauce is definitely a favourite breakfast feast....it will certainly keep you going all day. I better stop before I bore you to tears. I'm sure you can tell that I am passionate about cooking and baking, teehee.
You are making me hungry and I loved every word of your reply. I’ll have some new recipes to look up. Thank you!!!
@CraftyLoops, I absolutely love your reply. I have had Irish Butter & it is so delicious. Best Butter Ever. 😊
@@dianemarieevans9145 I couldn't agree with you more. Just milk and a touch of salt....that's all you need for good Irish butter. Thank you for your lovely reply. Lee :)
Trying this today!!!!
Use only food safe plastic buckets. They are marked as such and also available in Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc. They are made without BPA chemicals and don’t leach in chemicals and flavors into your stored foods.
I just came across your channel and thank you so much. I really appreciate it...Sherri-Payette Idaho
Welcome!!
Good idea!
Thank you!
Thank you
I wish I lived in your community.
Sounds like ultimate fun.
Thank you....thank you....
I have cut the gluton out of my diet. I have been wondering how to make bread flour out of the less gluton flour( Eikhorn) I use.
Thank you sooo much!
Check out the Facebook group for fresh milled flour. The people on it have so many ideas on einkorn flour. I am ordering some soon for pasta making.
Well this video answered a question I had about bread recipes from Sue Becker’s book on HOme ground flour. I was wondering why this ingredient was added to almost all of the recipes in that book. So it is basically taking the home ground flour and adding the extra protein to it to make it more equivalent to bread flour. Thank you so much for this video. I am now a new subscriber. God bless you sister. ❤
Welcome! Love Sue Becker. I need to spend more time with my fmf to get more recipes for y’all.
Check a restaurant and bakery supply store near you. US Chef stores (a supply store chain in my area) have sacks of gluten and a large variety of flours. They are a wholesale supply store for restaurants and smaller bakeries etc, but they sell to anyone. There are some good buys there.
I add my vital wheat gluten as needed, since there are a lot of things that can be made with all-purpose. So I have a quart jar with my gluten in it. So if I have bread flour, I use it for high gluten needs, I also take into account that King Arthur AP flour has 11.8 percent protein. That's almost bread flour (12%). So my King Arthur flour is high protein .
My supermarket brand calls 10 percent protein "bread flour." That's the stuff I use for noodles, biscuits, pizza, etc.
The big bags of Walmart Flour are around $9-10. A bread flour I’ve been using is Dakota Maid that I get from there. Around $12 for a 25 pound bag.
Thanks...
New subscriber here 😊 Thank you so much for this great information 😊 Happy baking 😊
Thanks for subbing and welcome! I’m so glad you are here.
Very helpful video! Just a tip. When you mix weight and volume measurements in a formula, you are actually making it more complicated that it should be. If you give a ratio based on weight, it can be scaled to any amount. And measuring in grams is super easy if you have a metric scale. But thanks for the videos!
Have you ever looked into purchasing King Arthur organic bread flour from the Websteraunt store? I think that the prices that they have a really good cause they supply restaurants. And you can put things in and out of your cart to look at shipping to make it even more cost effective.
I will check it out
Excellent information
Glad it was helpful!
Ok, this is good information.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing.mi just found your channel and subscribed. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Lord bless.
Thanks and welcome 🙏
I use bread flour for everything! Cakes, cookies, biscuits….everything!
I love King Arthur flours.
Thx!
No problem!
I get vital wheat gluten on Amazon. But I have been getting 50 lbs at a time of bread flour at Sams and it has been great. I have the vital wheat gluten as a backup but I have a roll recipe that uses it too.
I just got the Sam’s to try out.
I always have vital wheat gluten. I make a lot of seitan 😊
I have done this for years before bread flour was carried in the stores. IF you could find it, it was expensive. I always had access to vital wheat gluten.
Good info. Can you add Vital Wheat Gluten to freshly ground wheat berries to make bread flour?
Yuea you can! 1 cup flour and 2 teaspoons vital wheat gluten.
WinCo is 58¢ a pound for all purpose and bread flour. Amazing price, but this video is still useful info.
3 tsp equal 1 tbsp. 16 tbls equals 1 cup.
Buy 50# KA from supply house. Sir Galahad is AP, Special purpose is Bread Flour, and Sir Lancelot is super high gluten (14%). All are around $25.
Cortez Milling sells Red Rose Bread flour in 5, 10, 25.and 50 lb bags. Very reasonable and superior bread flour. What she paid for 29 oz of gluten, I bought 25 lb of Red Rose!
Oh wow! I’ll have to look them up.
What's the name if the 5 gallon bucket with screw on lid and where did u purchase it, please?
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks! 👍😃
The bucket is from Home Depot and the gamma lid which is the one that screws on is from amazon amzn.to/3Ug31gV I have like 10 of them and love them!
If you shop at any store with a decent bulk food section, they probably have vital wheat gluten available. I shop at Winco (it’s only in the western US) and have been buying vital wheat gluten there for years.
Before I saw this video, I never thought to actually make bread flour! I’ve always just added the wheat gluten to the flour as I make the bread dough. Thank you for the proportion - now I can make it ahead of time!
I love winco! We loved in California and they had it. I recently was in Texas and made sure to stop and stock up. We don’t have anything even like it in Georgia. I have to get most bulk stuff online which stinks!
Great information, thank you. Question.....can I use this homemade bread flour for sour dough recipes???
Yes you can!
Thank you for your reply. I will give it a try with sour dough.
I never knew there was a difference?? Maybe I'll try bread flour next time I make bread and check the diffence..lol
Hi this is an excellent recipe. So convenient to follow. Just had one question. Approximately how many grams of vital wheat gluten in 1 tsp ?
Sorry for taking so long to respond. 1 teaspoon is 4 grams. Hope you enjoy!
I’m gonna have to go to Costco unbleached organic to 10 pound bags❤
In hawaii King Arthur, bread flour is $10.96. A BAG ON SALE IF YOUR LUCKY 7 YO 8 DOLLARS A BAG
That’s crazy!
I look at lots of recipes from England. They love to use self rising flour. Please make that video if you can.
Ok will do!
Where did you pupurchase the bucket with the twist on lid
The bucket was from Home Depot and the lid is called a gamma lid and you can get them at Tractor supply or amzn.to/3wiOx7X
