Studies on the baking properties of wheat: pigeonpea flour blends.
Pigeonpea flour was substituted at levels of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25% to wheat flour and whole wheat meal for bread and Chapatti making, respectively. Blends were prepared up to 50% for cookie making. Increasing levels of pigeonpeas in the blends significantly increased the protein and mineral content of the baked products. The bread from 10% pigeonpea flour blend with 2-3% vital gluten and 0.5% SSL had high loaf volume and loaf quality. Blends containing 15% pigeonpea flour were acceptable for Chapatti and 30% pigeonpea flour with 0.25% SSL were acceptable for cookie making.
