Water absorption


Just found a gem of a tip:

"The more protein a flour contains, the more water it absorbs.  Flours can vary more than 20% in their ability to absorb moisture." 

 

Meaning.... when substituting flours in a recipe, you will need more or less water (moisture) if you use a flour with a different protein content!
