High Gluten Wheat Flour
Whatsapp Order
High Gluten Wheat Flour is a finely milled powder derived from hard wheat varieties known for their high protein content, typically ranging from 12% to 14.5%. This flour has a superior gluten-forming capacity which imparts strong dough elasticity and excellent gas retention properties. It appears as an off-white to pale yellow powder with a neutral to slightly nutty aroma. High Gluten Wheat Flour is prized in baking industries and food manufacturing for producing products with enhanced chewiness, volume, and texture. It is essential for applications requiring strong dough structure and resilience.
