For every recipe, the right strength of flour — so your dough turns out perfectly, every time.
How strong is your flour. Low W (170-220) = delicate flour for fine pastries and delicate doughs. High W (350+) = strong flour for sweet bread, panettone, and croissants with long fermentation. In short: higher W = more tolerant of fermentation.
How elastic versus how extensible the dough is. Low P/L (0.4-0.5) = easily stretchable dough — perfect for pizza. High P/L (0.6+) = dough that holds its shape — for sweet bread (cozonac) or structured bread.
How much gluten is in flour. More protein (13-15%) = dough that retains fermentation gases well. Less (10-11%) = more delicate crumb. For bread you need 12%+, for fine pastries 10-11% is perfect.
Cozonac, panettone, croissants; strengthens weaker flours
Wholemeal bread, sourdough bread, high-fibre baking
Pizza, focaccia, calzone — 12–24h maturation
White bread, pizza, baguettes — the most versatile
Croissants, brioche, cozonac — biga/poolish, up to 48h
Rustic bread, flavourful pizza, sourdough
