Protein: OF the proteins which are present in the flour, prolamins and glutelins bond with each other upon contact with water during kneading, forming a gluten which represents the main structure of the dough mixture and determines its quality. The higher the content of gluten in the flour, the higher its value.
W: Value which indicates the strength of the flour. The value is subjective, so we will provide only the following general categories:
w < 130 flour not suitable for bread-making
w between 190 and 220 weak flour
w between 230 and 290 flour of normal strength
w > 300 strong flour

Biga: dry pre-dough mix with a various range of leavening times (from 15 to 48 hours) obtained with flour, water and yeast. Obtained with strong flour (W> 300).
Poolish: liquid pre-dough mix obtained with flower and water (50%-50%) and yeast.
