Plain flour

Maida

2.6 g1 teaspoon

8 g1 tablespoon

King Arthur all-purpose flour: 1 tsp = 2.6 g.

Instead of Plain flour

Whole wheat flour
Use the same weight, add 10–15% more water and rest the dough for 20 minutes; the result is heavier and nuttier.
Rice flour
Use the same weight for crisp coatings; for doughs use no more than half rice flour with wheat flour, or it will be crumbly.
Cornflour
For thickening use half the weight, mixed with cold water; it is not suitable for bread or chapati dough.
