Flour is an important part of [[bread]], [[pasta]], [[cookie]]s, [[cake]]s, [[tortilla]]s. Flour is made in a [[flour mill]] where the grain is put between two [[stone]]s or [[steel]] [[wheel]]s which are rubbed together to make the grains into powder.
The main kinds of flour used in [[cooking]] are all-purpose flour, self-raising flour and cake flour. Self-raising flour contains a [[leavening agent]]. This makes the food rise (expand) during [[baking]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bakingbites.com/2007/08/what-is-self-rising-flour/|title=What is self-rising flour?|date=2 August 2007|work=Baking Bites}}</ref> It produces lighter and softer baked foods by creating small bubbles. Flour that does not have a leavening agent is called all-purpose flour, or plain flour.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.buzzle.com/articles/self-rising-flour-vs-all-purpose-flour.html|title=Self-rising Flour Vs.
