Why Durum Wheat Resists Breadmaking and How Sourdough Fermentation Could Fix It
Durum wheat flour brings exceptional protein content but a rigid, low-extensibility gluten network that would typically resist standard breadmaking. Controlled sourdough fermentation…

Why Wholemeal Flour Has Higher Protein But Produces Smaller Bread Volume.
Wholemeal flour is often associated with higher protein content than white flour, yet, its bread typically exhibits a smaller volume.
