Protein Levels by Flour Type
Why Protein Matters
Higher protein creates more gluten, which provides structure and chew. Pizza and bagels need 12-14%, while cakes need 7-9% for tenderness.
Example Calculation
Blend 300 g bread flour with 200 g all-purpose flour.
- 01Bread flour protein: 300 x 0.127 = 38.1 g.
- 02AP flour protein: 200 x 0.105 = 21.0 g.
- 03Total protein: 38.1 + 21.0 = 59.1 g.
- 04Total flour: 300 + 200 = 500 g.
- 05Blend protein = 59.1 / 500 x 100 = 11.8%.
