Particle Size of the Flour for a Good Dough

First of all, let me say that typically the particle size of almost all flours available in India will be ok, you only need to look out for the exception. Be carful about it if you grind your own wheat!

Desirable is a consistency of less than 200 microns with a mid point of 125 microns in the distribution. That is to say, about 50% of the particles will be less than 125 microns, and very little above 200 microns. This is normally available in any branded flour. If you use your own flour then just pass it through the finest sieve available in the domestic market.

Husk, if present, can damage the gluten network - the sharp husk pieces can cut the gluten film. Normally these would have been removed in the branded flour.. but be careful if you use other flour. Normally husk pieces will not get ground to low micron sizes, and can just be sieved out.
