As we’ve often found, sometimes it’s the small tweaks that make the biggest difference. Toasted flour is one of those life-changing, easy-to-do tweaks. The biggest thing it requires from you is patience. Simply toast your flour in a 250°F oven for 6 hours, stirring occasionally, and you will find that all of your baked goods will be transformed. This flour has an incredibly rich, caramelized flavor that is akin to brown butter. It’s amazingly delicious. Though it does not provide the same structure as raw flour, so you’ll want to use it in a 50% proportion to regular AP. Unless you’re making something tender and short, like biscuits or shortbread. Then feel free to go whole hog. Once you taste the results, you’ll wonder why we didn’t think of it sooner.
