Potato flour boosts bread nutrition and moisture retention, changing baking game.
Potato flour can be used in bread making as a partial replacement for wheat flour. Adding potato flour to bread increases water absorption, loaf weight, and volume. Bread with potato flour retains moisture longer than regular bread. The protein content of bread decreases as the level of potato flour increases, but protein efficiency ratio remains similar up to 8% substitution. At 10% substitution, there is a significant decrease in protein efficiency ratio.
