Bread flour

Bread flour is a hard wheat (or hard patent) flour. It is very easy to dust into a thin film, making it ideal to use when rolling out and working with doughs. Bread flour is milled from wheat that is rich in protein. The wheat must be grown in areas with the appropriate amount of rainfall and in soil rich in nitrogen. Bread flour is pale yellow when first milled and turns off-white with aging. It feels slightly granular when rubbed between your fingers.
