Surprise! This ingredient will take your bread to the next level

Gluten powder is a fine yellow powder that gets separated from wheat at the time of milling. It is a wheat protein that helps improve the texture, volume and elasticity of bread when used in the ingredients list. In addition, it is responsible for retaining more carbon dioxide during fermentation and this helps to keep them strong and tall in the oven.

With more gluten percentage you have to increase the hydration to maintain that open crumb.

[@_Obi-Wan_Kenobi_]

That true?

[@willhas8416]

Commercial bakery’s and supermarkets have been using Vital Wheat Gluten for years (5%VWG - 100g plain/all purpose flour) to make strong bread flour and so have I . Plain flour is about 25% cheaper than bread flour who’s the fool. I can make as many loafs with a bag of plain as strong flour but 25% cheaper. Happy Days.

Hey there! I started milling my own wheat flour a few months ago and the learning curve has been steep to say the least. What percentage Gluten do you add to your loaf? (I just started experimenting with added gluten). Have a great day!

[@ericw751]

At issue is whether you start with all-purpose flour or bread flour. I think King Arthur Bread flour has 12.7% gluten so how much extra gluten should you add for that?

[@HomeBaker-qu6ui]

Great Experiment! Question-why did you lower the hydration instead of raising it? Without the starter, the hydration dropped from about 78% to 72% to 71% to 70%. Love your simple explanations!

[@Nivlaek5thAge]

Would increasing hydration on 12% allow for better extensibility and thereby allowing for better stretch and oven spring?

[@OmnifyMyAss]

Yeah, he has dropped water content on the last 2 loafs despite higher gluten content allowing for higher hydration. If you're going to compare flour exclusively then you have to keep everything else the same. Why did he change water ratio between the loafs is beyond me

@@rainerrain9689 there are some recommendations for certain ranges of gluten present, but i can't find them at the moment 😞

[@justrosy5]

Exactly what I was thinking. If you add gluten to the same amount of flour, then you also have to add extra water to hydrate it. Even if you replace some of the flour with gluten, you still need a little extra water to ensure proper hydration!

[@kcbknitter]

I never thought of adding gluten flour. I make 100% whole grain bread and I may just try a little bit in there. Thanks for the great video.

Thank you, finally someone did a worthy gluten test. I always add 3 tablespoons to each ~500g of flour but it's nice to have an 8% target instead. I was half expecting a loaf to not feel "as light as the others" but they all have the same weight so ... would expect them all to be light :D

Asian bread making involves gelatinizing a bit of flour, supposedly to let it retain more water. It is normal in boxed cake mixes to contain pre-gelatinised starch. What would adding powdered pre-gelatinised starch do to bread?

[@johnkilcher477]

A very good presentation, but, after stopping the video to write down the recipes, when you describe each loaf after baking, you're confusing percentages of gluten to the grams of gluten, for what it's worth. I think the 8% recipe will be great. Thank you!

[@pawcioRC]

I have checked your dough ingredients and hydration levels. There is a mistake: you do not count added gluten into weight of the flour. This lowers your hydration dramatcally therefore the softness of the final dough differs not only from gluten contet but also hydration level. For instance the 10% added gluten final dough hydration is 73 not 80%

[@NZtechfreak]

Yes, there is an online calculator that works it out so that the target volume of flour doesnt increase. Not sure about his gluten powder, but most are 75-80% and that needs factoring in too.

I am so glad I discovered your channel. I have been baking my own bread for years, but a few years ago I invested in a Mockmill in order to grind my own flour from wheat berries. I have hard red, hard white and soft white berries. Since my family is fairly new to home ground flour I have been using soft white berries half and half with AP flour. I wanted to introduce them to the home ground flour gradually. I generally add about one Tbsp. of gluten to the flour to strengthen but now that I have watched your video I don't know exactly how to determine how much gluten I actually need to add. How much gluten is in ground soft white wheat berries? I will admit that I use yeast in my bread at the moment. Pretty much most of my sourdough experiments have failed. No matter how hard I try, but my sourdough starter never seems to bubble. I need to check out your sourdough vids & school. Thanks so much for the great videos, I am really looking forward to trying your recipes!

[@OmnifyMyAss]

Regarding starter - try using rye flour instead of wheat flour at first. When it's starting to rise consistently between the feedings - you can gradually introduce wheat flour to a point where you're feeding your starter with wheat flour only. Worked for me. Regarding gluten content - if you live somewhere close to a flour manufacturer - you can bring them 1.5-2 kilos of each wheat variety you're interested and for a fee they're going to analyze your wheat for moisture content AND protein content(=gluten). Flour manufacturers need to know protein content themselves so they always have a dedicated lab for that matter. I assume you can arrange a postal delivery also if you're a bit far away. Sure, gonna cost you a pretty penny but at least you will know for sure

[@gloriamichaels4333]

@@OmnifyMyAss Thanks so much. I will use my rye berries and give it a try. I live in a large city nowhere near a flour manufacturer but I can try my wheat berry supplier and see if they have any info. Thanks again!

[@OmnifyMyAss]

@@gloriamichaels4333 i assumed that if you're milling wheat then you're growing it yourself, silly me. If you're buying wheat from someone you can surely ask, most of the time if they're commercial producers - they must know their protein content since wheat price is highly related to it, higher content equals higher price. "King Arthur" flour company don't accept any wheat that has lower than 14% protein content AFAIK, for example. For clarity, "protein content" does not equal gluten content since there are multiple proteins present.

[@gloriamichaels4333]

@@OmnifyMyAss Thanks for responding. I have done some research and it looks as if home ground hard red likely has somewhere from 12.5 to 14 % gluten protein so that should likely mean that I probably don't need to boost the gluten with extra addition. I have started a sourdough starter using rye flour, buttermilk and a few caraway seeds. I read that your starter really doesn't need to bubble, but it needs to grow, so maybe mine was okay. Will watch this batch to see what happens. It could also be that my kitchen is fairly cool and I have granite counters which are usually cool so I will make sure my container sits on wood.

[@OmnifyMyAss]

@@gloriamichaels4333 you don't want to have ANY dairy in your starter since no matter what you do about it - dairy will spoil. Starter is a playground of wild yeast and water, not harmful bacteria that predates on spoiled dairy products. It just so happens that you don't want any dairy in your longer sourdough endeavors either - the ones where you let your dough ferment in a fridge for 2-3 days. If you're going to bake the next day you mix your dough - it's fine to use dairy. One note I want to add on your gluten calculations. I just so happen to be working in agriculture - and I know for a fact that ANY variety of wheat does NOT have same gluten content year after year. It all depends on multitude of factors and some major ones are out of human control, like the weather. Weather can and will affect overall quality of wheat, including gluten content. Sure, if weather conditions are favorable year after year - quality of wheat will more or less stay the same. But I'm oversimplifying, there are many other factors that directly affect what's going on your plate.

I've been adding gluten to bread for a while e now and Yup that's what I get too.

[@Cruz0e]

I don't know why I felt it but, I did not trust your math so I did my own calculations. I'm pretty sure adding 8,33g gluten for 100g flour you get (100*0.09g+8.33g)/108.33g = 15.99% = 16% gluten content So I wanted to calculate for 100g (end result) with 15% gluten flour from a flour that has 9% already, then: Based on the information, starting flour has 9% gluten, and gluten is 100% gluten. I want 100 gram result. I can write two simple equations with two unknowns: 1) original flour + added gluten has to be 100g x+y=100grams 2) 9percent of the start flour + gluten = 15% of the final mix (the gluten content), also 15 grams x*0.09+y=15grams Easy to solve that for both x and y (I rounded up) x = 93.4 y = 6.6 For me (approx.) 93.4grams of flour + 6.6gram gluten will give exactly 15% gluten content. Checking if my result is ok: 93.4grams *9% = 8.406grams 8.406 grams + 6.6 grams = 15.006 grams (pretty close to 15%) Sorry, but I'm a math teacher so I had to do this xD If you use 100g flour at start you need about 7g gluten (a tiny more for 15%...it gives like 14.95% total gluten 16g and 16/107=0.1495 so 14.95%)

[@user-vs1nj1ro3d]

The powder that he is using has 60% of gluten.

[@user-ym9dl6xs9z]

First of all, thank you for the explanation in the video, but it is not perfect, because gluten consists of 4 proteins and each component has a different property such as flexibility, elasticity and holding strength. Secondly, gluten powder usually does not contain 100% gluten, but about 82%, so the calculation is a bit more complex.

[@jeanpierremichaud5275]

Is gluten powder VITAL WHEAT GLUTEN or GLUTEN FLOUR?

[@saidalisamed7042]

I came up with this New Sourdough Biga 100 recipe. Produces greater results with plain flour - flour 1kg plain protein content 10.9% - water 600g - 50g sourdough starter - yeast 1g - salt 20g Instructions: - mix sourdough starter to 500g water, add the flour and mix with spoon until fully combined - leave at 20c for 14 hours - dissolve yeast and salt to 100g water and add to dough - knead until smooth - 2 lamination folds after 30-60 mins - divide into 2x dough balls after 1 hour - final shape after 1 hour - optional for better rise, chill in the freezer for 1 hour before baking - bake after 1 hour

I'm so confused. It is like watching a movie where all what I see is edited.

And yet, here you are, baking even with a 9% gluten dough a bread that looks professional and which did not run out during bake. I do autolyse, even stretch and fold, but I get nowhere near these results. And my flower even contains more than 14% of gluten. The bread tastes great though, but I wish I could get a shape I love.

I love your videos but I am having trouble with the gluten calculation...If the target is 14% and you have 9%, I understand you wish to increase it by 5%...but not sure where the 0.6% to 8.33 grams was arrived at? Any chance you can fill in the formula?...Thank you!

[@jdoyne5]

So if you divide 5 by 0.6 you get 8.33. I think he is just giving a simplified rule of thumb (0.6%), so we don't have to do algebra or create a spreadsheet to figure it out. Total Percent of Gluten in the Final Product = (Amount of Gluten Already in the Bread + Gluten Added) / (Weight of the Flour + Weight of the Gluten Added). I think what he is saying is that a bakers percent addition of 1% gluten results in a 0.6% rise in amount of gluten in the flour.

[@ecin0]

Yes, the calculations are wrong. If you add 8.33 grams to 100 grams you end up with a total of 108.33 grams with (9 + 8.33) /108.33 = 16 grams of gluten per 100 grams. If your target is 14%, you should add about 5.81 grams per 100 grams, as (9+5.81)/105.81 = 14 grams of gluten per 100 grams.

[@NZtechfreak]

There is an online calculator that works it out for you so flour volume stays correct, it is based on a wheat gluten that is 75% gluten which is standard (75-80%), I've not seen a pure gluten powder.
