Lesson 1- Wholemeal





Wholemeal flours used for bread manufacture vary in quality and require special treatment to produce a loaf of excellent quality. Because of the presence of wheat bran and germ means some simple adjustments need to be made. However, these adjustments are very important – without them, good quality meal breads are hit-and-miss.

These days, wheatmeal or wholemeal flours are roller milled. This means the three main parts of the wheat grain are separated during the milling process. At the end of the milling process, the bran, germ and endosperm are recombined as wholemeal flour.
