Have used the wrong flour for making bread...should I chuck it now?

[michaelad]

Hi ladies,
have just discovered that I used plain flour instead of strong flour for making my bread dough..is it useless now?

bump

I expect it won't rise as well or will sink in the oven. But still might be OK. Don't chuck it until you've seen and tasted the end results.

It might not be wuite right but it might be fine toasted. Cook it and see.

quite even.

am planning on largely using it as a pizza base and maybe turning the rest into a little loaf...oh, I could kick myself

It'll certainly be fine for a pizza base - especially a thin one, I think. Isn't there someone there who could do the kicking for you?

one's asleep, the other one's in school and hubby's at work..but I'm sure I'll find a volunteer later!

well, that would have been my next question..the kids have just eaten some of the pizza (which turned out fine, btw. ) but I still have lots left over. Can I freeze it?

I've frozen home-made pizza bases but partially cooked first (Jamie Oliver's suggestion!) never tried freezing "raw", it might start to rise before it's frozen if you don't cook it a bit first.

they are completely cooked, topped..the lot..just leftovers that could be eaten another day if freezable.. maybe I should just try it!

sorry, misread. Have done that too, will be fine.
