Can I use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose?
Yes, but you need to reduce or eliminate the baking powder and salt in your recipe since they are already in self-rising flour. Do not use self-rising flour for yeast breads.

For each cup of self-rising flour needed, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt. Sift or whisk well to distribute evenly.
