About Bread Flour
Bread flour is a high-protein flour (12-14% protein) milled from hard wheat. Its strong gluten-forming ability makes it ideal for yeast breads, pizza dough, and other baked goods that need structure and chew. It is also commonly known as strong flour or high protein flour.
Bread Flour has a density of 0.55 g/ml when measured using the Spoon & Level method. Like all dry ingredients, the measurement method significantly affects the volume.
This ingredient belongs to the flour category and is classified as a dry ingredient. Per 100g, it provides 361 calories,12g protein, 72g carbohydrates, and 1.5g fat.
Density data sourced from USDA FoodData Central. US Cup = 236.588ml (NIST). Results are estimates - actual volume may vary by ±5% depending on brand and batch.

Expert Tips
Bread flour has a higher protein content (12-14%) than all-purpose flour, creating stronger gluten networks for chewy bread.
Use bread flour for yeast breads, pizza dough, and bagels where structure and chew are desired.
Do not substitute bread flour for cake flour - the high protein will make cakes tough and dense.
