Types of Bakery Ingredients

Flour

Flour is a key ingredient in baking and provides structure and texture to a variety of baked goods. These are some commonly used flours in baking:

All-Purpose Flour: Versatile flour suitable for various baked goods, including cookies, cakes, and bread.
Bread Flour: High-protein flour that provides more gluten strength, ideal for yeast-raised bread.
Cake Flour: Low-protein flour that yields tender and delicate cakes.
Whole Wheat Flour: Flour made from whole wheat grains, providing a nuttier flavor and higher fiber content.
Gluten-Free Flour: Blends of alternative grains like rice, corn, or almond flour are used in gluten-free baking.

Fibers

Fiber is essential for adding texture, improving shelf life, and enhancing the nutritional profile of baked goods. Common fiber ingredients include:

Wheat Bran: The outer layer of the wheat grain, rich in dietary fiber.
Oat Fiber: Fiber derived from oats, is used to increase fiber content in baked goods.
Psyllium Husk: A natural fiber source that adds moisture and structure to gluten-free baked goods.
