Can you use self rising flour instead of all purpose flour for a pizza dough?
No! self rising flour has additives in it. ( salt and a leavening agent)
Can you use regular flour instead of self- rising flour?
Only use self-rising flour (aka self-raising) as a substitute for regular flour if the recipe gives instructions for doing so. Self-rising flour contains salt and leavening and cannot be used as a direct replacement in all recipes that call for plain flour.Well once I made biscuits with regular flour and they were rock hard, so unless you want rocks instead of fluffy soft biscuits, then you can't use rugular flour instead of self-rising.
What is multi purpose flour?
It is plain flour, but with a medium gluten content.Flour can have a high gluten content - (strong flour) and this sort of flour is best for bread making, or a low gluten content in which case it is best for pastry and cakes (if you add baking powered to low gluten flour - this is sold as self raising flour).A multi purpose flour will have a medium gluten content and thus can be used for both bread and cake baking it is a compromise product.
Can baking soda be use in place of baking powder for all baking?
No, baking soda cannot replace baking powder in all recipes because baking powder includes a acidic ingredient along with baking soda and certain salts that cause batter or dough to rise. Baking soda is purely alkaline, and requires the addition of some type of acidic ingredient in the recipe to produce the proper rise. Different recipes are formulated for either baking soda or baking powder.I suppose you could, but the recipe will probably taste terrible - and the crust won't rise.

Is cake flour the same as self rising flour?
Short answer: NO. they are not the same. Do NOT use one for the other. I was trying out a new peach cobbler recipe. It called for self-rising flour. I found the definition for self-rising flour which is basically flour with some type of rising agent (usually baking powder) in it. That is what I thought cake flour was -- flour with baking powder. When i made the recipe using the cake flour, the cobbler did not turn out/did not rise. Therefore, I would not use cake flour in place of self=rising flour again. Use 1 cup regular flour minus 2 teaspoons. Add 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to equal 1 cup.
Can you use self rising flour in chocolate chip cookies?
Some recipes for cookies do call for self raising flour. However it is best to you the flour suggested in the recipe you are using, as each type of flour has very different properties. For instance, self raising flour contains a rising agent with in the flour, whereas plain flour does not and will not make the cake/cookies rise. So in answer to your question: Yes, but only if that's what it says to use in the recipe.
How do you convert self-rising flour to all purpose flour?
I use a much simpler method and although it is an estimate, I haven't encountered any problems-1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 to 1/2 of a teaspoon of salt to every 1 cup of all-purpose flour.Ingredients• Here are a few versions of making SR Flour: • 500 gm. plain flour + 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder + a pinch of salt • 500 gm. plain flour + 20 ml. cream of tartar + 10 ml. bicarbonate of soda • 1 cup plain flour + 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder + 1/4 tsp. salt • 225 gm. plain flour + 2 level tsp. baking powder • 450 gm. or 16 oz. plain flour + 1 oz./25 gm. baking powder • 1 cup plain flour + 1 1/4 tsp. of baking powder. Some cooks suggest a half teaspoon of baking powder per cup of flour.• To make baking powder • Place 3 tsp. bicarbonate of soda and 4 tsp. cream of tartar in a jar and shake them well together. Store in a cool place. Instructions1. Whichever combination you use, sift all the ingredients together 3-4 times, to make an even mix. Store in an airtight container.Notes• The quantities above are only a rough guide. The amount of baking powder can vary according to a recipe and what else you have added to it. For example, 2 level tsp. baking powder is generally enough when using 250 gm. flour and 120 gm. fat. But if you increase the amount of fat and also add eggs, which all help to make it rise, you only need 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder. So, follow the recipe closely.
