Toasted flour is flour that has been lightly browned either in a dry skillet or oven. This toasting process enhances the flour with a nutty flavor and gives it a slightly darker hue. It serves to enrich dishes by adding depth and complexity to their flavors, making it a valuable technique across a range of recipes.
The primary types of toasted flour include soybean flour, corn flour, wheat flour, and others. Soybean flour, derived from ground soybeans, is notable for its high protein, fiber, and nutrient content, often serving as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking and cooking. These products are available through various distribution channels such as hypermarkets, convenience stores, and online platforms, and find application in diverse culinary uses including bread and bakery items, noodles, pasta, crackers, cookies, and biscuits.
