Vital Wheat Gluten
Original price was: R130.00.R110.00Current price is: R110.00.
Gluten comes from the proteins found in wheat. It helps make the dough stretchy and gives the bread a light airy texture. You can achieve bread with a lighter crumb and greater volume by adding a small amount of vital wheat gluten into your recipe. Especially helpful for bread made with whole-grain or low-gluten flours like rye flour.
Size: 1kg vital wheat gluten
Usage guideline: add 2 – 4g of vital wheat gluten per 100g wheat flour. Add 5 – 10g per 100g for low gluten flours (rye, barley, etc.)
Vital wheat gluten can also be used to make seitan – a vegan meat substitute.

Have not used it yet but plan to this week sometime. Found this calculation on line:
Calculation:
To increase 11,5g to 14g Protein content. Difference in Protein content is (14g-11,5g=2,5g)*1,5 = 3,75g/100g
The amount of VWG required 450g of bread flour is (450/100)*3,75 = 16,875g (17g)

The gluten(protein) content of local wheat flour is relatively low compared the overseas counterparts. Adding 10g of vital gluten per 500g of bread flour enables a higher hydration level, which translates into a lighter, more open crumb and better oven spring.

This is the second time I am purchasing Vital wheat gluten to make Keto bread. The quality is excellent. Apart from a hiccup with the delivery company which was quickly sorted out by the owner, I am extremely impressed.
Johan Kruger (verified owner) –
This definitely makes a difference to the bread. Just 12g to 600g flour and you can feel the difference in the texture. Great results.

I have been using the vital wheat gluten for bread machine baking with great effect. I deducted a star for less than stellar packaging which resulted in minor spillage. I informed bread emporium and they are going to review the packaging. I recommend this product. I will buy again.
