Bread flour is high-protein. Think of it as the bodybuilder of the flour world, all that protein means lots of gluten. That’s the stretchy, chewy network that gives your sourdough a proper jaw workout.
Now, self-rising flour is the party guest who shows up with everything already mixed. It’s all-purpose flour plus a little baking powder and a pinch of salt. Open the bag, and boom—you’re practically halfway to a biscuit.
See the difference? Bread flour is pure, strong, and needs you to add your own yeast and salt. Self-rising flour is a pre-game cheat code. Which one should you grab? It depends on how lazy—I mean, efficient—you’re feeling.
