What happen when flour is mix with cold water?

When flour and water are mixed together, water molecules hydrate the gluten-forming proteins gliadin and glutenin, as well as damaged starch and the other ingredients. The hydration process is achieved when protein and starch molecules create hydrogen bonds and hydrophilic interactions with the water molecules.

Can cold water dissolve flour?

Generally, flour does not dissolve in water as it consists of starch granules, proteins and lipids that are all insoluble in water due to their molecular structure. Instead of dissolving in water, flour will absorb water to form a sticky suspension.

Do you use cold or hot water with flour?

The act of adding boiling water to flour is actually a very common technique used in Scandinavian and Asian baking to pre-cook the starch in the flour so it takes on a jelly-like texture (via Virtuous Bread). The result is a softer, squishier bread without the addition of any extra fat.

Can I make dough with cold water?

Unlike us, yeast will still work to produce gas at cooler temperature. They'll just do it more slowly. So if you do use cold water in your dough, expect to be waiting a little longer for your dough to rise and fill out with gas. This is no bad thing, as a longer prove can help develop more great flavour in your dough.
