Description
Maida flour is low in protein (gluten), an advantage for producing high-volume, soft/tender cakes with fine grain. Its high extensibility and stretchability are desirable qualities for a variety of Indian pastries and baked goods.
It is mainly used in making flat breads such as naan, tandoori roti, pizza crust, noodles, bhatoori (a fluffy, deep fried, leavened bread), cakes, biscuits and many other pastries. In addition to bakery products, it is used as a fermented batter (jilebi),4 as a sauce thickener and in coating fried food products.
It is extracted from the inner white portion of the wheat after the outer brownish layer is removed. After the flour is ground in a flour mill (Chakki), it is passed through a fine mesh (600 mesh per square inch) to obtain maida.
