Understanding Maida (Refined Wheat Flour)
Maida is produced from the endosperm of the wheat grain after the bran and germ have been removed. This results in a fine, white flour with a high gluten content (when derived from hard wheat), which gives elasticity to doughs.

• Fine & Smooth Texture: Deepak Maida is finely milled to ensure a smooth consistency, ideal for delicate pastries, soft breads, and lump-free batters.

• Versatile for Baking: The preferred flour for many cakes, cookies, pastries, and biscuits due to its ability to produce a light and tender crumb.

• Essential for Indian Breads & Snacks: The key ingredient for making popular Indian breads like Naan, Bhatura, Roomali Roti, and for the crispy casings of Samosas, Kachoris, and some types of Puris.

• Used in Sweets (Mithai): A component in various Indian sweets, such as Gulab Jamun (often in combination with khoya), Jalebi, and some types of barfi.

• Thickening Agent: Can be used to thicken sauces, gravies, and soups, though cornflour is often preferred for a clearer finish.

• Quality by Deepak: Deepak brand aims to provide consistent quality maida for your everyday cooking and baking needs.

 Tips for Using Maida

• Sift maida before use, especially for baking, to aerate it and remove any lumps.
