Roasted Flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Spread about a cup or two (you will not use all of it for this recipe) of all-purpose flour across a foil lined rimmed baking sheet and bake it for 15 minutes. It should not get too brown, but it will be very fragrant and will have developed lumps. When flour is cool enough to handle, empty it into a large bowl and mash out any lumps You can also sift it and then mash out any remaining lumps if you need to. Let cool completely before using. Weigh out 40 grams (about ⅓ cup, but a scale is more accurate).
