Bakery Flour typically refers to a category of flour specifically used for baked goods such as bread, cakes, biscuits, and pizza. It is not a single type of flour; rather, it is a specialized flour system developed by adjusting wheat flour based on different baking requirements, including protein content, gluten strength (gluten-forming capability), and milling refinement, in order to suit different end-use products.
Based on protein content, Bakery Flour can generally be divided into three categories: low-gluten, medium-gluten, and high-gluten flour. Low-gluten flour has a relatively low protein content (typically 7%–9%) and weak gluten formation, making it suitable for soft and tender baked goods such as cakes and cookies. Medium-gluten flour (around 9%–11%) sits between the two and is suitable for buns, steamed bread, certain biscuits, and general home baking applications. High-gluten flour (around 11%–14%) has higher protein content and stronger gluten, making it suitable for bread, pizza dough bases, and other products requiring strong elasticity and structural support.
In industrial or professional baking applications, wheat flour is often further “functionally enhanced” based on basic milling flour. This may include adjusting ash content, adding malt flour, enzymes, or improvers to better meet specific process requirements such as fermentation stability, water absorption, and extensibility. Such products are often collectively referred to as “bakery specialty flour” or “functional flour.”
