Wheat flour: choose for the dough

Flour, water and mixing create different doughs. Kneaded pizza dough is not treated like pancake batter.

Choosing the product

Match the flour to the recipe and check for added raising agents. Wholemeal flour may need different liquid or resting adjustments than white flour.

Preparing and using it

Weigh rather than estimating by glass. Knead pizza dough and let it relax before stretching. Mix pancakes only until dry flour disappears.

Substitutions and adaptations

Gluten-free flour is not an automatic pizza substitute: structure changes. Use a formulation designed for it. Introduce wholemeal flour gradually and observe consistency.

Mistakes to avoid

Do not confuse baking powder with baker’s yeast or double raising agents already in flour. Avoid repeatedly adding flour throughout kneading.
