What it is
Flour is a powder made by grinding raw grains, roots, beans, nuts, or seeds. For most bread and pizza crusts, it is made from wheat, which is milled into a fine powder. The type of wheat and how it is milled affects the flour's properties, like its protein content and texture.
Why it's used
Flour is the main ingredient in most baked goods, providing structure and substance. It acts as a binder and thickener in sauces and gravies. It is essential for creating the chewy or crispy texture in pizza crusts.
Health notes
Flour, especially refined wheat flour, is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins and iron if enriched. Whole wheat flour provides more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA considers wheat flour to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat and its components. Some people may have sensitivities or allergies to wheat.
Allergen info
Wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
