WORD OF THE DAY: ASH CONTENT
Ever switch flours and your dough suddenly feels different… but you can’t explain why?
This is one of the reasons.
Ash content tells you how much of the grain is still in your flour.
Higher ash means more bran and germ.
More flavor. But also more interference with gluten.
What that looks like in your dough:
Less strengthMore fragilityMore sensitivity to handling
If you treat it like standard bread flour, it’ll fight you.
Same pattern you’ve seen with ancient grains.
This is where understanding your flour starts to matter.
Not just what it is… but how it behaves.
That’s ash content.
