Fiber from the husk of the Plantago Ovata plant. Ideal for replacing the gluten function in fermented doughs such as gluten-free breads. Provides elasticity, sponginess and texture.
Mode of use
Dissolve or disperse in liquid with strong agitation, both hot and cold, in a wide pH range. For breads and doughs, integrate together with solids (flours and starches). Adjust the dosage according to the desired level of elasticity and moisture: 2% for drier doughs or 4% for highly elastic doughs, such as pizza bases.
Dosage
Recommended dosage: 20 - 40g/kg dough. Pre-mix with the flour.
