    The index of W.

    Up to W170 (weak):
    Biscuits, waffles, and tender baked sweets. Béchamel and thickened sauces.

    From W180 to W260 (average):
    French bread, bread rolls, pizza, pasta.

    From W280 to W350 (strong):
    Classic bread, pizza, pasta, baba, brioche.

    Above W350 (very strong):
    Made with selected types of wheat, that are used to reinforce weaker flours. Ideal for highly enriched doughs subjected to long leavening, often referred to as “Manitoba”.

    P/L  values.

    The balance between extensibility and resistance can be expressed with the P/L ratio, the optimal being between 0.5 – 0.6. A P/L ratio higher than 0.7 characterises flour that is resistant, while values lower than 0.4 are weak and extensible. Soft wheat flour is naturally more extensible while hard wheat flours are naturally more tenacious, this is especially true with durum.
