Luxury wheat flour type 550

Description

Luxury wheat flour type 550 is a light, finely milled product with a mild, neutral taste and a delicate, slightly powdery texture. It absorbs liquids well and creates elastic dough due to its moderate protein content. From a nutritional standpoint, it mainly provides carbohydrates as a source of energy, moderate amounts of protein (gluten), little fat, as well as B vitamins and minerals, although it is less rich in fiber and minerals than whole grain flours, so it is worth combining it with other grains for greater nutritional value. Type 550 is versatile in use: it works well for rolls, yeast bread, cakes, pancakes, dumplings, and homemade pasta, providing a fluffy texture and a crispy crust. It should be stored in a dry, cool place in a tightly sealed package, away from heat and moisture sources; storing it in the refrigerator or freezer can extend its shelf life and prevent pest invasion.
