Simple Swap Ratios

Start with a 1:1 swap in forgiving recipes, then refine hydration and mixing time based on dough feel.

For breads that need stronger structure, blend in a portion of bread-focused flour.

  • Quick breads: usually direct 1:1 starts well.
  • Cookies: chill dough if spread increases.
  • Yeasted breads: adjust water and proof times gradually.
