All About Flour & Dry Ingredients 面粉和干的材料参考表

Finally, I am able to spare some times to make this list that I wanted to make on my first day of baking. When I was a newbies in baking, I was totally confused with the differences between cake flour, high protein flour, low gluten flour ... etc. Some of these are same but named differently and I believed many newbies are facing the same problem too.... CONFUSED! Especially with the chinese recipes. 

I had roughly list out some common dry ingredients here, just a brief one at the time being. I will update this page from time to time. :)



今天好开心，因为我终于有时间做这个了！

我小时候常常帮妈妈去邻家的店买面粉，我非常熟悉面粉有好多种，因为妈妈叫我买的都是不一样的。但是我重来不过问这些面粉的用途。

直到自己开始烘焙，问题就来了！
还记得刚开始烘焙时，我打电话问姐姐做面包的是什么粉啊？她说是高 '根' 面粉。我当时就在百货公司的粉架前面。找了好久才找到。原来叫高筋面粉。后来，我好用心的上网找资料，自己边做边研究，现在的我已经搞清楚这些材料的分别了。

我相信好多爱烘焙的新手都会面对同样的问题。有没有人在读我的食谱时看不明白？哈哈，我懂，有时google翻译的中文真的很难明白。希望这个参考表可以帮到你们啦！

我暂时上载这些，有时间会再更新。
