toasting flour
« on: February 25, 2013, 06:19:31 PM »
I was wondering of anyone had tried using toasted flour for a pizza crust? It has a great flavor, but was wondering what effect toasting would have on the flour. Would I get a good rise and texture, or would it change the dough so much that dough that was slack and no rise. I may make a small personal pizza to see what happens.

Thanks for the info! I think I'll try a light toasting and make a NY style to see what the flavor is like. Not expecting much, but it will be a fun experiment.

It can't be good for the protein.

Craig;
You're right, the heating/toasting of the flour will most likely denature the protein, rendering it incapable of developing "gluten".
