What kind of food is this?
Flour milled from wheat. Cake flour has 349kcal, 75.8g carbohydrate, and 8.3g protein per 100g.
When kneaded with water, part of the wheat protein forms gluten, a net-like structure. This is what lets bread and pastry dough hold together.
It behaves differently from rice flour, so in treat-making it works as a material for building texture and shape.
How to serve
Cook it thoroughly before using. Never give dogs raw bread dough made with yeast — it expands in the stomach and also produces alcohol.
