This was one of the best explanations I've watched so far on types of flour. Great Video and excellent job detailing the different types of flours and wheats.
I love Thomas Joseph's style of teaching. I feel as if I'm in a culinary school with an excellent, highly-knowledgeable teacher who is able to convey technical information in a non-intimidating way.
Great comment. You said it best. I absolutely love how Joseph talks, and teaches. He is so professional, smart, and knowledgeable. He makes learning fun, and insightful I have learned so much from him.He is great, and charming, as well. ❤️🌟✨🙂
It’s cool that you included White Lily... It truly is in a category all it’s own. A real Southern flour...treasured for making those great Southern biscuits we all love.
I just got some White Lily. Had never heard of it here in the West, but it was the only kind I could find right now. After reading about it, I'm eager to see how it bakes. Sounds good!
Thank you Sir! You have no idea the clarity you have shedded because there’s so much on the market nowadays! And I truly believe when you make biscuits and cakes there is a difference depending on what is used so I appreciate the knowledge you have shared!! God Bless❤️
This really is such an informative and useful channel. Not to mention fun to look at! Love all of the different people featured on here and the variety of videos. Thank you!!!
I absolutely love these informative videos that tell us the science behind why we use what we use to get different results. Keep up the spectacular work! Teşekkürler
Please make a video like this explaining gluten / grain free flours, like almond, coconut, chickpea, cassava, tapioca, rice, glutinous rice, amaranth [grain], oat [grain], and things like xanthan gum.
A clear, intelligent, understandable, enlightening and necessary presentation. Thank you very much for this. I’ve just started baking my own bread and I find your information very useful. 👍🏻
I really enjoyed this! Flours can make you crazy till you learn this information that you laid out so well! I have used White Lily forever and it works so well with anything I bake. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Let me guess that you live in the southern USA, because it's a brand that for mysterious reasons isn't marketed north of there. Pretty sure the grain is grown in south-central Oregon, which makes it doubly-frustrating.
I was using bread flour for making sour dough bread, the crumb, however, is very dense! In the early days of my working with this I used White Lily and now I think I will try it again. Thanks for the analysis of these flours.
I love ancient wheats. Kamut is my favorite- it is a big, golden wheat kernel- but is not available ground for my area, so I grind it myself. The protein/gluten is different than red wheat - it rises faster and is delicious. Spelt and Red Fife are two other ancient wheats that bake up beautifully in breads and other baked goods. I usually use about half whole flour in my baked goods - except cakes!
Red Fife isn't actually an ancient grain - it's just a variety of common wheat. It used to be the most-used variety in BC - all of Canada? - but fell out of favour in the second half of the 20th century. It's coming back in fashion a little bit. But it's several times the price.
Very useful. A small but important addition: Because of the extra oil, whole wheat flour can go rancid. Best to use before six months. It will put an odd undesirable taste in your bread. I bake bread and a lot of other things but I have only used AP and whole wheat flour. AP really is all purpose but cakes and muffins turn out better with cake flour. I am down to my last couple of pounds of AP. I going to get ten kilos of bread flour and see what difference it makes. I skip recipes that call for self rising flour because I never buy the stuff. Ten kilos will last about three weeks. Enough time to see if it is to be preferred. I am not big on the idea of having to buy so many different styles. The bread flour will have to make a real noticeable difference.
kooldadrich that is true but ten and twenty kilo flour bags do not fit the fridge. 😂 I go through it too fast to worry about even the whole wheat flour going bad on me.
_"I skip recipes that call for self rising flour because I never buy the stuff."_ You can make it yourself, if you want. It's just flour with some baking powder and salt premixed. Or just increase the amount of leavening you're adding when you go to bake something. www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/homemade-self-rising-flour-recipe
Bill Woods Yeah, I do a lot of baking, bread and pastries. Have no problem adding a leavening agent or salt. The very idea of self rising flour seems silly.
That was excellent! Snip-its of info about different wheat flours drop into my lap from time to time but this is concise, clear and organized. Thank you! Can you do something similar about non-wheat flours? Chickpea flour, barley flour, oat flour, rye flour etc. There are so many flours out there, they look intriguing, and it would be very helpful to have the characteristics and qualities summarized like the wheat flours.
I thought this was SO helpful. I should like something similar on rye, light rye, spelt, khorasan and differences between organic and stoneground flours. I am from the UK - so I hope the flour descriptions I have given are meaningful.
Thank you for your video. I am going to try different flours now for my biscuits to see which one I like best. Great information. Love your teaching style. You make it easy to understand.
Thank you so much for your detail teaching. I am new to make pancake at home due to home bound for 2 months already and no more outside breakfast as usual. I have bought also a pack of bread flour and a pack of cake flour at the time when I just wanna bought my pancake flour. Now I finished my pack of pancake flour today and just wanna sort out the other two pack, here you are! Thanks! A great help to me!
ooohhh i got so excited and clicked as fast as i can , as i have been needing this explanations since 3 weeks ago.. yippie! ok i am gonna watch now.. lol comment first before watching.. i love love love mr thomas :)
I done ran out of buckets for the different type of flours and now I see eight I only hand like four thank you I learn some new every time I view RUclips I'm back into baking and making my own everything..
Southern gal...my Mom, Grandma & Great Grandma made their biscuits with White Lily flour. Delicious! Thankful to have learned how to make their biscuit recipe.
Mr Joseph; May I be impertinent, and ask where may I purchase your apron please? I find your tutorials rather satisfying. The subject matter comes without a condescending manner, and thus immensely rewarding.
It would be wonderful to know more of plant based flours and how to bake with them such as coconut flour, chickpea flour etc. just a thought. This video was very helpful! Thank you!!!
Great information. Thanks. When I see bread flour and wholewheat recipes, I replace the bread flour with spelt. So far it has worked well. I used to bake breads in a bread machine.
Thank you for explaining, this is very useful! Could you please make another video about other grains, like rye, teff , buckwheat etc, and compare them to the main ones in this video, so we can get a wider idea? Many thanx!
👏🙌👌😁thank you so very much Thomas!!!!! This is a question I’ve asked along with sugars and both answered. You rock! I’m glad you really read the comments and hear us!
I love you for this like others explain to much you explain perfectly I get confused a lot and i didn’t get confused at all by this thank you I need this I’m a teen chef and I want to be a great chef
Man i love you for the way you explain things and teach ...and the way your videos are...like your videos are veryyy helpful and informative....these questions arise while baking , and then you are like how am i supposed to fix the thing and what might have been the reason for it to turn out the way it did hahaha...and there are your videos answering all those questions..
Very good information! Thank you for the fine explanation it really helps me to understand why some of the baked goods I make do not come out the way I see in some recipes.
Great video, still stands out as more informative than most made on this topic since you posted this… and let me tell ya!!! Lots of videos out there on this topic that don’t make the grade!
First side by side comparison of flours that I've ever seen. Many thanks. Could you possibly make a video once about how long one can keep flour past its official expiry date and which ones such as AP, with no oils, that don't go rancid?
Lenor Bradley I took a cookie decorating class and the instructor used cake flour to make the cookies. They were extra crumbly & delicious! As a side note, she used butter vanilla instead of plain vanilla. That made the shortbread cookies extra yummy!
Thank you for your interesting tutorial. I've never thought that there are so many types of wheat. In Europe, flour is indicated with numbers, from finely grinded to whole wheat. For some time, the market has offered a lot of flours which don't contain gluten. The question is how these flours have to be treated in comparison to wheat. Examples of alternative flours offered on the European market are: flour from rice, almond, chick pea, rhy, buckwheat, potatoe, teff, chestnut and maybe others. Do you have experience in dealing with these flours?
Very informative. I learned about white lily many years ago from a southern chef...Sarah Garde. She made the best buttermilk biscuits. I still use it. Many thanks! Sal
Thank you! You just said everything I just told several channels, as SO many use the wrong flour...no lie. And their commenters are wondering why their dough is a wrong texture & density for example: Ciabatta bread & the dough won't rise well, texture is bad, no lacing in the crumb, etc. It truly is not rocket science.
Hey Thomas! Do you think I will get the same results in a cake recipe if I use a cake flour substitute (APF + cornstarch) in place of softasilk cake flour? Will the substitute work like the store brought cake flour? Thanks,
This was one of the best explanations I've watched so far on types of flour. Great Video and excellent job detailing the different types of flours and wheats.

same here, just wanted to make a loaf of bread. Now my head hurts

Finally, the differences explained. Thx!
Preach. Lol I've been so lost

That would be good, also corn, barley, quinoa, etc basically everything other than wheat.
Any link?
Probably just lump all those under specialist flours...for the fussy and pretentious lol.
@@T4Cification fussy and pretentious? These are common ingredients in a lot of eastern/asian cooking. How is that pretentious?
@@T4Cification Also gluten is a VERY common ALLERGEN. Not everyone is doing it just for health.
Great info as always, thanks Thomas!
Extremely informative for a newbie at baking, thank you for the break down!
Excellent video, Joseph. Thank you for such an in-depth description regarding the varieties available.
A clear, intelligent, understandable, enlightening and necessary presentation. Thank you very much for this. I’ve just started baking my own bread and I find your information very useful. 👍🏻

Your videos are so helpful for someone like me who is new in baking and still learning tips.

I really love the way you teach
Thank you Thomas
Thomas you are a godsend and this video a recipe-saver! Super informative as always!
Nice topic! And nicely explained! Thanks!
Thk u Thomas for sharing , its so important to know in detail the different types of flour especially we are keen in making cakes.
Love to hear same explanation for onions thank you
Thanks , man . I also wonder about specialty flours not made from wheat ( Buckwheat , Casaba , Garbanzo , Oat etc)

Best to keep bread flour tightly sealed and refrigerated to make it last.

Fantastic!! Excellent explanation. Your English pronunciation is very good as well.
Finally the chemical difference, so hard to just have some explain the science behind some cooking recipes. Thank you so much.

Amazing as always Thom, very informative, thank you so much Chef.
Very educational. Thanks for this quick video!
Thank you for the great and informative videos. There are just awesome! :)
Love these videos. Question though. Is gluten and protein the same thing? Does high protein mean high gluten?
Mike D Gluten are the proteins that are found in wheat (products)
Thanks so much, Mr. Thomas
Thank you. Can you post a video about coconut and almond flour (gluten free flours in general)?
Thanks Joseph. Great information.
Very informative! Thx
Most excellent inform and presentation!
Great video. I learned a lot about flours listening to what you had to say.
Love this series, and very informative! Thanks so much!!
Thanks - Very informative. I’m sure I will be referring to this again in the future!

What is the best flour to use when making cookies. I feel like I been test this out for so long. It will be nice to have a different perspective
Lenor Bradley I took a cookie decorating class and the instructor used cake flour to make the cookies. They were extra crumbly & delicious! As a side note, she used butter vanilla instead of plain vanilla. That made the shortbread cookies extra yummy!

I wanted this video.. and boom !! It came as my suggestion!! Thanks
