Quality requirements for steamed bread differ from those of pan breads, including the distinct attributes of color, hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness and smoothness associated with the traditional product. The quality of steamed bread is also related to other attributes, such as lower moisture in dough (45–50%, flour-weight basis), less fermentation time, steaming instead of baking, and smaller specific volume than pan bread. These attributes endow some differences in the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of bread. However, few studies have evaluated the quality of steamed bread supplemented with wheat germ, and the difference in properties in terms of RWG and DWG are not known.
