wheat flour

Wheat flour is a powder made by grinding wheat grains. It is a staple ingredient used in baking and cooking, providing the structure and texture to bread, pastries, and various doughs. There are different types of wheat flour, such as whole wheat, which includes the entire grain, and white flour, which has the bran and germ removed. The protein content in wheat flour, mainly gluten, affects its elasticity and ability to hold risen dough. It is usually stored in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and quality. Wheat flour is versatile and essential in many culinary applications worldwide.
