Gluten (Vital Wheat Gluten) 5kg

Product Description

Vital wheat gluten is a fantastic natural protein source found in wheat & is a powerful flour that is almost pure gluten. It is made from wheat flour that has had the gluten activated during a dehydrating process which removes all other ingredients except the gluten. It has very little starch content & is a fantastic ingredient to make dough very elasticated, resulting in perfect bakes time & time again.

Vital wheat gluten is great for bread making particularly for regular flour replacements that have a low gluten content, such as rye, as it helps to increase the gluten content of the bake. It is equally as delicious used in muffins, cakes & other bakes such as tarts & pastries where you are working with yeast ingredients. You can buy vital wheat gluten online & start experimenting with homemade loaves of bread to accompany a warming bowl of soup for a tasty, nutritious & comforting meal for all the family.
