No.
Cornstarch is generally used as a thickening agent in sauces and gravies. You will lose that thickening property if you use bread crumbs. Depending on the recipe, you may be able to use flour instead (do not try this for baked goods, though).
Usually it is not a good idea to substitute bread crumbs for bread cubes in recipes. When the recipe calls for cubes it usually means the product needs some substance. If you use crumbs, your final product may be soggy.
Yes.
Dry breadcrumbs are made from very dry bread which has been baked or toasted to remove all remaining moisture, and may have a sandy or even powdery texture.
Yes, in fact I prefer it.... it makes a chewier more substantial crumble because it doesn't absorb as much water as soft flour!
Yes, they are both bread crumbs.
mix 200g of plain flour with 100g of butter and 100g of brown flour using the rubbing in method.
Use wholemeal flour for the crumble top and add raisins to the apples
You can use flour instead of cornstarch.
Bread flour or self-rising flour It depends on the recipe
which is the best flour to make bread out of strong plain flour self rasing flour or plain flour
This is simply to make it easier. You can make self rising flour yourself. Simply do 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of baking powder in the bottom of each cup of flour.
Pretty much. There are different types of flour, and bread flour is considered the best for making it, but you can bake bread with just about any type of flour.
You use a regular bread recipe and substitute half of the flour with whole wheat flour.
Flour helps in adding texture to the bread and sometimes helps in rising. The best flour to use for bread making is Strong White Bread Flour which can be found in grocery stores like ASDA!
Your cobbler topping will not rise at all if you do not use self-raising flour. This will result in a very hard topping. (Alternatively, add baking powder to the plain flour that you have used, which will give you "self-raising" flour. )
because breads require flour to make it a bread.
Yes you can but the result will be a rather flat loaf as pastry and cake flour do not contain as much gluten as bread flour. Gluten which is developed by kneading the bread dough is essential to a well structured bread.
