Can I make bread with all-purpose flour?

Many of our bread recipes are made with all-purpose flour. There's no need to have a special flour. Bread flour is a high gluten flour, so when you use it in bread, it will produce a chewy loaf of bread and is often used in rustic loaves.

All-purpose flour gives a softer texture and is perfect for many sandwich breads and sweet rolls.

Why is my homemade bread dry?

The most important thing to remember when making homemade bread is to not add too much flour.

First, when measuring, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level it with a knife. This will ensure you're not packing the flour in.

Second, when kneading the dough, don't add too much flour at once. The dough should be tacky. It shouldn't stick all over your hands, but it also shouldn't feel dry.
