Self-Rising Flour
If a recipe calls for self-rising flour and you only have all-purpose flour, here’s how you can make your own.

You can use this flour in yeast bread or roll recipes, but you’ll need to omit any salt called for in the recipe.
If you use this as a substitute for all-purpose flour in a quick bread or muffins, omit salt and baking powder and add 1 1/2 extra teaspoons of the self-rising flour for each cup of all-purpose flour.
It does not contain baking soda, so when substituting for all-purpose flour add baking soda if it is an ingredient in the recipe.
