CONT

There is no easy way to predict precisely the baking quality of a flour. A general idea of its potential may be obtained by measuring its protein content and by estimating the quality of the protein by some appropriate test, as for example, the sedimentation test. Certain rheological tests, such as the alveograph and extensigraph, give general indications of breadmaking quality but their results may be misleading.
