Description
Vital wheat gluten is a Flour-like powder which is a fantastic natural protein source found in wheat and is a powerful flour that is almost pure gluten. It is made from wheat flour that has had the gluten activated during a dehydrating process which removes all other ingredients except the gluten.
It contains very little starch content and is a fantastic ingredient to make the dough very elasticated, resulting in perfect bakes. Vital wheat gluten is great for bread making particularly for regular flour replacements that have a low gluten content, such as rye, oat, rice, and chick flour. It helps to increase the gluten content of the bake. It is equally as delicious as used in muffins, cakes, tarts, and pastries where you work with yeast ingredients.
