The common flour varieties are
- Refined wheat flour( Maida ) - Mostly used for baking cakes, cookies, biscuits and tarts.
- Whole wheat flour - Used for baking breads as it gives a coarse texture and nutty flavour.
- Self rising flour - It is comprised of all-purpose flour, salt and a chemical leavening agent such as baking powder. It is easy for baking but doesn't yield good results.
