How to Store Vital Wheat Gluten

Bread bakers often add vital wheat gluten to bread dough to enhance the dough and improve the baked results of bread. Vital wheat gluten is especially beneficial when you add it to breads that contain whole wheat and rye grains because it produces higher and lighter loaves of bread. Because vital wheat gluten is pure protein derived from the wheat kernel, storing this grain is similar to storing any flour product. Add this to my Recipe Box.
