Wheat Flour

Wheat flour is the most important ingredient in the bakeshop. It provides bulk and structure to most of the baker’s products, including breads, cakes, cookies, and pastries. While the home cook depends almost entirely on a product called all-purpose flour, the professional baker has access to a wide variety of flours with different qualities and characteristics. To select the proper flour for each product and to handle each correctly, you should understand each type of flour and how it is milled.
