A Few Tips Before You Start
No matter what you're baking, a few simple habits can make a noticeable difference in the final result.
- 🥣 Don't overmix. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.

- 🧁 Fill muffin cups about two-thirds full for even rising.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How many servings are in one bag?
Each 14 oz bag contains approximately 10 servings. One serving is 5 tablespoons (40 g). -
Can I make the entire bag at once?
Yes. If you're making pancakes or waffles, you can prepare the entire 14 oz bag using either the Just Add Water or Classic Recipe measurements above. It's an easy way to make a larger batch for family breakfasts, brunch, or meal prep. -
Can I substitute Dilettoso for regular flour?
No. Dilettoso is a complete baking mix rather than a standalone flour. It already contains protein, leavening agents, natural sweeteners and other functional ingredients, so it isn't intended as a one-to-one substitute for regular flour in traditional recipes.
For the most reliable results, start with one of the recipes we've developed specifically for Dilettoso. Once you get to know how the mix behaves, there's always room to have a little fun experimenting in your own kitchen. -
Can I adjust Dilettoso recipes for high-altitude baking?
Dilettoso is formulated to perform well in most home baking environments. At higher altitudes, you may need to make the same minor adjustments you normally would for your recipes, such as adding a little extra liquid or slightly adjusting baking time and temperature. Because altitude affects every recipe differently, you may need to experiment to find what works best in your kitchen.
