Results for tag: "Bread Flour"

Bread flour is a type of flour used to make bread. It is made from hard wheat varieties, which have a higher protein content than other wheat varieties. This higher protein content gives bread flour a higher gluten content, which is necessary for the production of strong, elastic doughs. Bread flour is usually milled from hard red wheat, although it can also be milled from hard white wheat. It is usually sold in the form of bleached or unbleached flour. Bleached flour has been treated with chlorine gas to whiten it, while unbleached flour has not been treated. Bread flour is used in a variety of breads, including sandwich breads, artisan breads, and pizza dough. It is also used in cakes, pastries, and other baked goods. Bread flour is available in a variety of forms, including all-purpose flour, self-rising flour, and bread machine flour. Some companies in the bread flour market include King Arthur Flour, Bob's Red Mill, Pillsbury, and Gold Medal. Show Less Read more
