    Differnt forms of flour made differnt types of bread

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Different forms of flour, such as all-purpose, whole wheat, and bread flour, have different protein contents and gluten levels. These variations in flour types result in different textures and flavors of bread. All-purpose flour is commonly used for making a variety of bread, while bread flour, with its higher protein content, is preferred for making yeast bread. Whole wheat flour is used for making whole wheat bread, which is denser and has a nuttier flavor. Therefore, it is true that different forms of flour make different types of bread.
