Spring wheat & winter wheat?

Spring wheat and winter wheat differ in both their growth cycle and characteristics, which affects the quality of the flour, its baking properties and its uses.

Spring wheat is sown and harvested in the same year and often produces a stronger flour, whereas winter wheat is sown in the autumn and overwinters in the ground.

A higher protein content often means stronger gluten, which makes the bread fluffier and lighter. That is why spring wheat is considered the best bread grain, and it is an excellent choice if you want to bake bread with a fine texture and good volume.
