MFM Cap Ros & MFM Cap Cempaka Flour Protein
Many people overlook the protein content in flour but it’s actually the key factor that determines whether your cake turns out soft and fluffy or chewy like bread! Here’s a quick guide:
1. Protein Determines Softness vs. Elasticity
Fact: When protein in flour mixes with water, it forms gluten the component that gives dough its strength and elasticity.
- High protein (≈12–14%) is ideal for bread, as it gives a firm and elastic texture.
- Low protein (≈7–9%) is perfect for soft cakes with a light, tender crumb.
Tips for MFM Cap Ros All-Purpose Flour: MFM Cap Ros has a balanced protein level (9.3%–10.3%), making it highly versatile for both cakes and pastries.
- For Soft & Fluffy Cakes: When using MFM Cap Ros for cakes or cookies, mix the batter just until it comes together. Overmixing develops too much gluten, resulting in a dense texture instead of a light, fluffy crumb.
- For Roti Canai or Naan: On the other hand, knead the dough a bit longer. This helps activate gluten, making the dough stretchy and easy to shape!
- For Decadent Butter Cookies: Mix the dough gently to preserve the buttery richness. This helps the cookies stay tender, crumbly, and melt in your mouth delicious.
