Rye bread generally contains less gluten than white bread, which is made from wheat. While rye does contain gluten, it has a different composition and is less effective at forming the elastic structure that gives bread its chewy texture. Consequently, rye bread tends to be denser and has a different mouthfeel compared to the lighter, airier texture of white bread.

Why white wheat flour used in rye breads?

White wheat flour is often used in rye breads to improve the texture and rise of the final product. Rye flour has lower gluten content, which can lead to denser bread; adding white wheat flour helps to enhance the gluten structure, resulting in a lighter and airier loaf. Additionally, the mild flavor of white wheat flour complements the distinctive taste of rye without overpowering it. This combination balances the benefits of both flours, producing a more enjoyable bread.

What does shortening do to gluten when added to bread dough?

Shortening make the doughs for bread more workable and renders the final product more tender, and moist. Practically, thd fat shortens the gluten development and the length of the gluten strands when the flour is stirred with that moisture (so, they are called shortenings). Ever noticed the gluten structure form too much and the dough to be very sticky on over mixing, this is due to excessive gluten production from the proteins glutenin and gliadin. This is shortened by shortening. This problem is more in wheat breads which contains more gluten than others like rye bread. Hope it helps


What percentage of people are eating gluten free?

That will vary a great deal depending on what food item you are analysing. For example, fruits and veg will have no gluten in, in any country (since gluten is only found in grains such as wheat, oats and rye). However bread will have a significant amount of gluten in (unless it's labelled "gluten free"), as will any food items made from wheat flour, oats or rye (and some other grains). Gluten percentage doesn't usually vary between countries when comparing similar food items (for example a white bread loaf in the UK will have a similar gluten content to a white bread loaf in the US). "Country" makes very little difference when comparing gluten content; it is the item of food itself that determines gluten content.
