강력분 is a type of flour commonly used in Korean cooking, known for its high protein content. This strong flour is ideal for making doughs that require elasticity and strength, such as those used in 면 (noodles) and 빵 (bread). The high gluten content in 강력분 helps create a chewy texture, making it a preferred choice for recipes that need a firm structure. It is often compared to bread flour in other cuisines, as both are designed to support the rising process during baking.
