high-gluten wheat


Explanation:

There are different varieties of wheat, each with its own gluten content. Flours made from high-gluten wheats are called strong flours and are used for making bread, bagels, pasta and pizza crusts. Flours made from softer, low-gluten wheats are called weak flours, and are used for making cakes and delicate pastries.
