Popis: Heating weak bread flours (commercial cookie flour; commercial stone-milled bread flour; Fundulea, a weak bread cultivar) at 80°C for 15 min had a positive effect on bread volume (P < 0.05). This positive effect was best seen when ascorbic acid was removed from bread formulation. Crumb springiness and fineness of grain, but not crumb hardness, were significantly improved after flour heating; cohesiveness improved with heated cookie flour (P < 0.05). After heating, flour a-amylase content was lower; dough-mixing stability of cookie flour doubled to 7.1 min but dropped from 18.0 to 4.8 min with standard bread flour. Heating offers possibility to upgrade substandard flour for bread-making applications, especially in oxidant-free dough system.
