Sterling Choice flax flour's warm, nutty, whole-grain flavor meshes well with most bakery products. Because it is a soft grain and not a hard grain, it is not abrasive to bakery-processing machinery like other dietary fiber- and whole-grain ingredients. However, flaxseed's healthy soluble fiber fraction will absorb water, so bakery formulas with added flaxseed may need to be rebalanced at higher levels of flaxseed addition.
Flaxseed is also a strong film former, so dough properties will change with increased additions of flaxseed. Flaxseed should help gas retention in the dough.
Finally, flaxseed becomes very slippery when hydrated, so it can be used to replace fat in many formulas, resulting in calorie reduction.
