This document discusses four main types of flour used in baking: all-purpose flour, bread flour, whole-wheat flour, and gluten-free flours. All-purpose flour can be used for most baking and comes bleached or unbleached. Bread flour has 12-14% protein content and is best for yeast breads requiring a strong gluten network. Whole-wheat flour is more nutritious but produces denser baked goods due to its bran and germ content. Gluten-free flours are made from grains, nuts, and starches to accommodate those needing gluten-free options.
3. It is considered one of the
most common flours used in
baking. It can be used in
almost all baking items, and
thus it is called an all-purpose
flour.
All-Purpose
Flour:
You can get two types of all-
purpose flour in the market –
bleached or unbleached. You
can make use of these flours
interchangeably. But it’s
always best to match your
flour to your recipe.
4. Bread Flour:
Bread flour is considered one of the strongest of all.
The protein content in bread flour is about 12 to 14
percent.

It is known for providing the most structural support
to the baked items. Structural support is quite
essential in a yeast bread, where a strong gluten
network is required to absorb the CO2 gases
produced during fermentation.
5. Whole-Wheat Flour:
Whole wheat flour is considered highly nutritious
as compared to other flours. It is due to the
presence of germ and bran in the flour.

This is what makes it high in protein. Moreover,
the high amount of bran and germ compromises its
gluten-forming ability due to which the whole-
wheat flour tends to produce heavier, denser
baked goods.
6. Gluten-Free Flours:
Gluten-free flours are increasing in demand, and in
the market, you can get a wide range of gluten-free
flours

These gluten-free flours are made up of all sorts of
grains, nuts, and starches. Besides this, people also
prefer to use gluten-free flours based on rice flour
blended with tapioca and potato starch.
