Three different addition levels of commercial fonio flour (2.5, 5.0, 10.0%) were mixed with
wheat flour to explore flour pasting, dough rheological behaviour and bread quality. During
farinograph test, fonio flour addition clearly shortened wheat dough stability (from 12.0 up to 3.5
min). Extensigraph data were influenced equivocally. Viscosity profiles determined by using of
Amylograph and Rapid Visco Analyser, corresponded together (peak viscosities 2263 (control), 2348,
2367, 2381 mPa∙s). During fermentograph, maturograph and oven-spring tests, composite dough
variants exhibited higher dough volumes (+20% in average). Bread volume has risen by 2.5% fonio
flour dosage only (from 337 to 402 ml/100 g); specific volumes of more enhanced variants were
comparable to control. Crumb penetration corresponded to specific bread volume, rising from 12.6
mm to 22.3 mm. Fonio wholemeal did not affected bread sensory profiles. Principal component
analysis pointed to higher baking potential of wheat-fonio composite 95:5.
