Wheat Flours 101 ! Basics, Ash content, Protein Content and Flour Strength. Achoo. Link to the series : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLURsDaOr8hWWSiMZBLGP2UEs8w3nQDTVY Understanding the kernel of wheat, is at the core of understanding flour, which might sound like a grind, but it’s useful to understand dough, which is absolutely needed to understand bread itself, so sit back, and don’t be so sour. 2 main categories of wheat in the world : - common wheat : Triticum aestivum : - durum wheat : Triticum durum : BRAN ; the Outside rich in fibers and minerals 14% in weight ENDOSPERM : 83% in weight last time, he said Fuck, now he says sperm, what’s the next one ? No, I Endosperm is the big central part, rich in starch so carbs, and proteins, GERM : 3% in weight, rich in vitamins and good fats Ash content : measures the amount of mineral content that remains in the flour after milling. As mineral mostly is on the outside of the kernel, the higher the ash content , the more bran and outer layers you’ll get. Lower protein content is great fro making cookies and pies, and short pastries : THAT crumbly texture. Higher protein content = higher gluten in the dough, is great for baking bread , or even pizza : THAT chewy texture *********************** * LOVE & SUPPORT * *********************** Support my work on : https://www.patreon.com/frenchguycooking -- Patreon is a cool way for creators to achieve a sustainable income by being financially supported by their lovely community !
