shows flour strength (W), and P/L. Doughextensibility increased by approximately 30%: from 35±3mm for T2-0% samples to 46±4mm for T2-6% samples. A similar increase ofapproximately 30% was found for W: from 73 ± 7 10−4 J for T2-0%samples to 96 ± 5 10−4 J for T1-6% samples. On the other hand, P/Ldid not change significantly (1.4 ± 0.2 compared to 1.1 ± 0.2;p=0.09). In T2 the additional water content improved the alveographperformance of dough compared to T1. Moreover, in T2, W reached thesame, maximum value observed in T1, while P/L remained low. Theseresults suggest that the use of GBF improves baking performance, as thecapacity of the dough to hold gas during the leavening step is improved,which, in turn, probably increases the volume, and softens the textureof bread.
