Flour type 1R - Pizza Croccante

Tipo 1R flour is rich in minerals and fiber, with a valid nutritional contribution. It guarantees good water absorption and is suitable for long maturation doughs.

Usage Tips 

Suitable for rustic bread, pizza, and focaccia with long maturation and sweet leavened products.

Strength 

 W 320 - 360.  The strength index (W) should be considered as the wording to define the best use of the product.

Strength is the ability to form the gluten mesh  (which retains more or less carbon dioxide) and the power to absorb liquids, the proteins responsible for the formation of gluten are two insoluble proteins: gliadin and glutenin.

Weak flours form a gluten mesh that retains little carbon dioxide and has a reduced liquid absorption. Weak flours are more suitable for all preparations that do not require proofing time.

Strong flours are rich in gluten, absorb liquids in a higher percentage, and retain more carbon dioxide. The dough is tough, very elastic, and suitable for long fermentation.
