Bread Flour

Bread Flour is a finely milled wheat flour commonly used in breads and baking when a strong gluten network is needed; it’s the standard choice in many European and North American bread recipes for achieving good rise and chewy texture. In terms of nutrition, Bread Flour provides about 10.3g of protein per 100g, which helps dough develop structure, but as a refined flour it contains less fiber and fewer phytochemicals than whole-grain alternatives. From a health perspective, it’s a useful baking ingredient for texture and protein content but is less nutrient-dense than wholegrain flours and contains only modest amounts of minerals like selenium and manganese.
