Quality of flour is defined by its ability to consistently perform in the production of a finished baked good. The ultimate quality test is completed when the baker uses the flour.
Because there are a limitless number of baked goods that can be derived from a single flour, it is an impossible task for the miller to test every application. Millers, therefore, rely on a few standardized baking applications. Tests are completed based on the application that best suits the particular flour.
