Formel
## How to Calculate Flour Blend Protein ### Formula **Blend Protein % = (Bread Flour g x 0.127 + AP Flour g x 0.105) / Total Flour g x 100** ### Protein Levels by Flour Type - **Cake flour**: 7-8% - **Pastry flour**: 8-9% - **All-purpose flour**: 10-12% - **Bread flour**: 12-13% - **High-gluten flour**: 13-14% ### 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.
Lösungsbeispiel
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%.
Häufig Gestellte Fragen
What protein level do I need for pizza dough?
Traditional Neapolitan pizza uses 12-13% protein flour (tipo 00 or bread flour). New York style works well with 12-14%. Lower protein gives a more tender, less chewy crust.
Can I use vital wheat gluten to increase protein?
Yes. Adding 1 tablespoon (9 g) of vital wheat gluten per cup of all-purpose flour raises the protein by about 1.5 percentage points.
Does protein content affect hydration?
Yes. Higher protein flour absorbs more water. Increase hydration by 1-2% for each additional percentage point of protein.
