Plain white flour, also known as all-purpose flour, is a staple in the baking cupboard, commonly used in cakes, pastries and biscuits.

When used in cakes, it is combined with a raising agent, such as baking powder or bicarbonate of soda, in order to get that fluffy light texture.

it is also used in quick breads, such as soda bread, producing a more densely textured loaf.

semolina flour is a common flour made from durum wheat. It's coarser and darker than all-purpose flour, with a more earthy aroma as compared to other wheat flours. 

It's most commonly used in the making of couscous and pasta, and is therefore very prevalent in Italy. It's also very high in gluten and protein. 

Other uses in making bread, pies, porridge or cakes, or in creating a great crust.

Allergens: gluten. 

Soft light brown sugar is a pure cane sugar with buttery caramel notes. Perfect for sauces, moist sponges and cookies. 

The light brown colour of this sugar comes from it's small percentage content of molasses. In comparison, dark brown sugar contains almost double the molasses of light brown sugar. I.e. the darker the colour of the sugar, the more molasses it contains. 

If a recipe doesn't specify 'light' or 'dark' brown sugar, it normally means use light brown sugar. 

Spelt flour comes from spelt, an ancient grain similar to wheat in appearance. Spelt has a tougher husk than wheat, which helps to protect the nutrients inside the grain.

The taste of spelt flour is nutty and slightly sweet, and it can be used in most recipes that require regular or wholewheat flour. 

Cholesterol-free, low-sodium and high-fibre. It also is a source of magnesium, iron, calcium and vit E. 

Although the gluten in spelt isn't the same as wheat gluten, its NOT suitable for a gluten-free diet.

Rye flour is made from ground rye berries, also known as rye kernels.

Rye flour tends to contain enough gluten to make a yeasted loaf without additional flours added. It tends to make a dense, dark, richly flavoured bread, known as rye bread. Other common uses in cooking include within sourdough bread, crackers, gingerbread, crispbreads, or incorporated into fruited cakes and scones. 

Contains: gluten

Strong white bread flour, is obviously used in making bread, and is made from 'hard' wheat varieties. The main difference between bread flour and other flours is its higher protein content (12-14 %). This creates more rise and structural support for the dough, allowing the final product to lift and hold shape. It also creates a chewier texture and more browning in the crust.

Bread dough requires kneading, which not only mixes the ingredients together, but also combines the proteins in the flour to form gluten, creating an elastic and stretchy structure.

White caster sugar is a finely ground sugar commonly used in baking. 

While caster sugar and granulated are fairly similar, the main difference is the grain size, with caster sugar being the finer grain. Its small granules mix and dissolve more easily with other ingredients, making it perfect for use in biscuits, cakes, pastries and meringues. 

White granulated sugar, is a slightly coarser grain of sugar sometimes known as refined sugar or table sugar, and a staple for the cupboard. 

It's great for making toffee, as its less likely to crystalize than caster sugar, and in baking when you want a slightly coarser texture, such as in shortbread

The fine crystals already in granulated sugar also don't cake together, making it perfect for sprinkling into food and dissolving into drinks 

Self raising flour is a mixture made up of regular flour, and a raising agent (generally baking powder). The leavening power of the baking powder is mixed evenly throughout the flour, so you automatically get that nice rise out of your baked good every time you use self raising flour.

Contains: gluten

Wholemeal flour, also known as wholegrain, is made using the whole of the wheat kernel. It adds flavour and nutrition to baked products, especially bread.
