Role Of Salt In Bread Baking - Swissbake

Towards the end of 18th Century, the influence of salt was recognised in baking bread. Salt was seen to have an important role to play in bringing out the flavour of the baked product. During mixing, salt reinforces the plastic properties of the dough and improves its cohesiveness and elasticity. Later in the 1960’s, it was understood that salt also acts as an antioxidant, it was then that many bakers adopted a practice of delaying the addition of salt. Fine table salt was used as it would dissolve quickly and so it could be added just 5 minutes prior to the end of mixing time.

SWISSBAKE SPECIALITY FLOURS Swiss Bake French style flours are traditionally milled by artisan millers and the entire flour range is produced from imported French grown wheat or with a blend of locally grown equivalent wheat varieties. These quality flours from us are a result of our dedication and passion for well-crafted flour.  Each year we produce only a limited quantity of each refined flour on order estimates from our most demanding chefs and bakers. French classification for flour  is based on the resulting amount of residue after processing 10 kg of flour in a 600º C furnace. T45 or Type 45 is the lowest and whitest flour with only around 45 grams of mineral contents left after the burning process and no part of the bran (outer enveloping shell of the grain) remaining. Similarly T150 has around 150 grams of mineral contents and is considered as whole-wheat flour due to high bran leftover. •          T45 Sw...
