Different types of flour
Whole grain
Whole wheat flour is ground from grain. This flour is usually heavier
than normal flour and also has more nutrients. It is especially well
suited to be mixed with other flours.
Flour without baking powder
Flour without baking powder is also known as white flour. It is suita-
ble for fast baking or for different biscuits.
Gluten flour
Gluten flour has high gluten and protein content. This type of flour
gives the dough a certain elasticity. It helps the dough to retain its
shape. The type of flour is particularly well suited for baking bread.
