What is flour?

Flour is a fine powder obtained by grinding various solid ingredients such as cereals, seeds, nuts and legumes. Its name comes from the Latin farina, which in turn comes from the word far/farris, the ancient name for farro or wheat, one of the first foods used to make flour.

What is flour strength?

This concept refers to the amount of protein contained in the flour. When it comes into contact with water, gluten is produced, an element that provides volume to the dough. This means that the greater the presence of gluten, the greater the volume of the preparation

Less force is equal to more manipulable, the dough can be stretched

More force is less manipulable, it is a firmer base, such as a pancake.
