How to Use Wheat Flour
There are endless uses for wheat flour in cooking and baking, but it’s most important in bread. Because wheat has a high gluten content (more than any other grain), it yields the most elastic dough. That makes wheat the flour of choice in yeast breads like brioche, flatbreads like pita, and the iconic sourdough loaf. Wheat flour is also the classic choice for baking cookies, cakes, and all manner of sweet and savory pastries.
