Lower Protein for Soft, Delicate Texture

Because less gluten develops during mixing, doughs and batters remain softer and more tender, producing baked goods with a finer crumb and lighter texture. This makes pastry flour the preferred choice whenever tenderness is more important than chewiness or a strong rise.
