Categories - Part I00 Flour: Ground to extreme fineness, this flour is made from soft wheat varieties, and is frequently used in Italian pastas. The fineness of the grind makes 00 dough easy to roll to extreme thinness (necessary for pasta). Best for pasta and very thin crusts. The grind is too fine for successful bread. Read a book that is a prequel to a series.
All-Purpose Flour: A blend of hard and soft wheat; it may be bleached or unbleached. It is usually translated as "plain flour." Read your standard Romance book, not frills or sub-genre, like Romantic Suspense or Humorous .
Almond Flour: Almonds are notoriously healthy nuts providing a good amount of manganese and vitamin E , as well as a healthy serving of monounsaturated fats in each 1/4 cup serving. Not only do almonds have a healthy boost of protein, they are also very low in carbohydrates and inherently gluten free. Great in baked goods; replace 25% of regular flour with almond flour. Read a book that involves baking. Doesn't necessarily have to be set in a bakery, but that's a sure thing.
Amaranth Flour: An ancient grain, the word amaranth means "everlasting" in Greek. Contains more protein than any other gluten-free grain and more protein than wheat flour. Do not attempt 100% amaranth flour bread—it needs the gluten of a wheat flour to avoid a crumbly texture. Read a book set in Greece or in Medieval times.
Barley Flour: - A non-wheat flour made from grinding whole barley. Chefs recommend letting doughs and batters made with barley flour (and, actually, all whole grain flours) sit overnight. It is a popular alternative to wheat flour because, unlike many non-wheat flours, it contains some gluten. This flour also has slightly fewer calories and more than 4 times the fiber of all-purpose. Read a book that is less than 190 pages.
Bread Flour: White flour made from hard, high-protein wheat. It has more gluten strength and protein content than all-purpose flour. Read a book with an alpha male, or one that has a predominately white cover.
Buckwheat Flour: Naturally gluten-free, buckwheat flour is blue in hue and has a very nutty flavor. It absorbs lots of moisture, so adjust accordingly when baking—the batter may require extra liquid. Read a book with a blue cover, or one with some form of water depicted.
Categories - Part IICake Flour: Similar in protein level to pastry flour (about 8-9%), cake flour is milled to an ultra-fine consistency. Read a book with an "ultra-fine" hero. Feel free to look at your favorite series or do a re-read.
Chickpea Flour: Also know as garbanzo flour, gram flour, and besan. Made from dried chickpeas ground into a flour. Used in many countries, it is a staple ingredient in Indian, Pakistan, and Nepal cuisines. You can use this flour as an egg substitute in vegan cookery. You can substitute up to half the amount of all-purpose flour called for in a recipe with chickpea flour. It is also very easy to make your own Chickpea Flour by processing dried chickpeas in your blender or food processor. Read a book where the character has visited India, Pakistan, and Nepal - or is set there. Or is vegan.
Coconut flour: It is ground from dried, defatted coconut meat. It is high in fiber, and low in digestible carbohydrates. It has a very light coconut flavor. Coconut flour can replace up to 20% of the flour in a recipe, but you will need to add an equal amount of liquid (oil) to compensate as this flour soaks up the liquid. You will also need more eggs - usually double the eggs (or more). Read a book with a tropical setting.
Corn Flour: It is a powdery flour made of finely-ground cornmeal and is milled from the whole kernel. Corn flour comes in yellow and white and is used for breading and in combination with other flours in baked goods. Read a book with a small town setting.
Instant Flour (Wondra from Gold Medal): Granular and formulated to dissolve quickly in hot or cold liquids. It will not work as a substitute for all-purpose flour, although there are recipes on the container for popovers and other baked goods. It is used primarily in sauces and gravies. Read a book where insta-love occurs or with the insta-love trope.
Millet Flour: One of the oldest foods known and possibly the first cereal grain to be used for domestic purposes. Millet flour is most commonly used in desserts and sweet breads largely because of the grain’s naturally sweet flavor. When substituting for wheat flour, it is usually best to start with about a 3-to-1 ratio of wheat to millet. Read a book set in your home country, state, or province, etc.
Oat Flour: It is sweet in taste, with one of the most approachable “whole grain” flavors. This flour tends to make a baked good more moist than wheat flour. It is made from ground whole oats - yes the old-fashion oats used for cereal. It is very easy to make your own oat flour. Just place the dried oats in your blender and grind. 1 1/4 cups rolled oats makes 1 cup oat flour. Read an old-fashioned romance book.
Organic Flour: Used in the same way as regular flour. It must follow U.S. Department of Agriculture regulations to be labeled "organic." Using this flour is a matter of personal preference. Read a book of your choosing.
Categories - Part IIIPastry Flour: Made with soft wheat and falls somewhere between all-purpose and cake flour in terms of protein content and baking properties. Pastry flour (also known as cookie flour) has a protein (gluten) of 9% to 10%. Use pastry flour for making biscuits, pie crusts, brownies, cookies and quick breads. Pastry flour makes a tender but crumbly pastry. Do not use it for yeast breads. Read a book where the hero and heroine are from different ethnic groups or vastly different socioeconomic backgrounds.
Pumpernickel Flour: Made from coarsely-ground whole rye berries. It is the rye equivalent of whole wheat flour. Pumpernickel breads tends to be dense, dark, and strongly flavored. Read a book that is a little on the scary side, such as a Romantic Suspense or Erotica.
Quinoa Flour: One of the most nutritious grain flour available. Considered a grass/seed and not a grain, this powerful little grain is a great addition to any diet, but is an ideal solution for those following a gluten free, vegan or vegetarian diet. You can substitute this flour for 1/2 of the all-purpose flour in many recipes or completely replace wheat flour in cakes and cookie recipes. This is a very expensive flour to purchase. Read a book with a rich hero or heroine.
Rice Flour: Form of flour made from finely milled rice. This flour can be made from either white or brown rice and can be used interchangeably. White Rice Flour (also called Mochik) is lighter, milder, and easier to digest than wheat flour. Often used or sponge cakes, noodles, fritters, and tempura batters, it is great as a thickening in sauces.Read a book with a hero or heroine of Asian decent. Or is set someplace in Asia.
Rye Flour: Rye is a grain, although not a subset of wheat. It has a tangy flavor and natural gumminess when processed. Light, medium, and dark varieties, depending on how much of the bran has been removed through the milling process. Rye bread may be a better choice than wheat bread for persons with diabetes. Because rye flour is low in gluten, a general rule suggests substituting 1/3 of the amount of rye with wheat flour to ensure the bread will rise properly. Read a book with a “wry” wit or sense of humor.
Self-Rising Flour: Sometimes referred to as phosphated flour, is a low-protein flour with salt and leavening (baking powder) already added. It's most often recommended for biscuits and some quick breads, but never for yeast breads. Recipes that call for self-rising flour do not call for the addition of salt or leavening agents. Read a book that is a stand-alone (not part of a series.)
Semolina Flour: Used in making pasta and Italian puddings. It is made from durum wheat, the hardest type of wheat grown. The flour is highest in gluten. When other grains, such as rice or corn, are similarly ground, they are referred to as "semolina" with the grain's name added, i.e., "corn semolina" or "rice semolina." There are difference grades. Read a book with a hero or heroine of Italian decent. Or one that takes place in Italy.
Sorghum Flour: A very good substitute for wheat flour in many recipes, especially if combined with other, more denser, flours. Sorghum originated in Africa thousands of years ago, and then spread through the Middle East and Asia via ancient trade routes, traveling to the Arabian Peninsula, India and China along the Silk Road. The whole grain kernel is ground into a flour that can be used for cooking and baking. A powerhouse of nutrition, it adds a superb flavor to gluten-free baking. Welcome in pantries around the world; traditionally used as a cereal food to create pancakes, porridges, beer and flatbreads throughout different cultures. Can be added or substituted in any recipe that calls for flour, such as cakes, cookies, breads and muffins, as it has a smooth texture that many people love in their gluten free baked goods. Read a book that takes place in more than one country.
Spelt: Although spelt is technically a form of wheat, it is often considered in the “alternative” flour guide. It’s an ancient grain, and many with sensitivity to conventional wheat products find they’re able to easier digest spelt. It has a mild nuttiness, natural sweetness, and is relatively easy to work with. Read a M-M book or a LGBT book.
Tapioca Flour: It is a starchy white flour with a slight sweet flavor. This flour is make from the starch extracted from the South American cassava plant. This flour helps bind gluten-free recipes plus improves the texture of baked goods. This flour is also an ideal thickening agent. Read a book with a hero/heroine of South American decent, or is set in South America.
Teff Flour: An ancient and intriguing grain, tiny in size yet packed with nutrition. It is simple to prepare and similar to millet or quinoa in cooking. Teff is a great addition to your diet for nutrition, taste, and variety. It is higher in protein than wheat and has a high concentration of a wide variety of nutrients, including calcium, thiamin, and iron. Since the grains are so small, the bulk of the grain is germ and brand. It is very high in fiber and is thought to benefit people with diabetes as it helps control blood sugar levels. Excellent in making dark breads and rye breads. Check out the article Teff - A Nutritious and Versatile Grain for more information. Read a novella or short story.
Whole-Wheat Flour: Also called graham flour. It is made from the whole kernel of wheat and is higher in dietary fiber and overall nutrient content than white flours. It does not have as high a gluten level, so often it's mixed with all-purpose or bread flour when making yeast breads. Whole wheat flour is equivalent to British whole meal flour. Read the last book in a series (thus far or forever).
