Wheat flour is a type of flour made by grinding wheat grains. It is commonly used in a wide variety of food products, such as bread, pastries, cakes, and noodles. Wheat flour is versatile and can be used in many different cooking and baking applications. It contains gluten, a protein that gives dough its elasticity and helps it rise during baking. Wheat flour can be classified into different types based on the amount of gluten it contains, including all-purpose flour, bread flour, pastry flour, and cake flour. It is a good source of carbohydrates and several essential vitamins and minerals, including iron and B vitamins.
