Pretreated Green Pea Flour as Wheat Flour Substitutes in Composite Bread Making.

The present study aimed to assess the impact of substituting wheat flour with three different pretreated green pea flour at different addition levels (10-50%) on fresh bread quality during a 7-day storage period. Dough and bread enriched with conventionally milled (C), pre-cooked (P), and soaked under-pressure-steamed (N) green pea flour were evaluated for their rheological, nutritional, and technological features. Compared to wheat flour, legumes had lower viscosity but higher water absorption, development time, and lower retrogradation.
