Mlinotest Wheat Flour Type 500
Pšenična bela moka tip 500 is Mlinotest's everyday Slovenian white flour and its highest volume household bag. The current 1 kg pack declares 13 g protein per 100 g. Slovenian type 500 is a legal ash band of 0.46 to 0.60 percent on dry matter, which describes how much of the grain's outer material survives milling, not how strong the gluten is. Mlinotest publishes no current W, no P/L, no absorption and no falling number, so the protein on the pack is the only figure you have to go on. The mill's 2021 table listed W 250 to 280 for it, which is dated. A 20 kg distributor listing declares 12.5 percent protein, so the sack may not match the retail bag.
How the calculator uses this flour
- Fermentation window. With 13% protein, the dough peaks after about 8.5 h at 22°C, inside a 4.5–14 h window. In the fridge at 4°C, it holds up to 47 h.
- Hydration range. From its specs, Pandough estimates 60–68% water, and the calculator's hydration band starts there. For Traditional Napoletana in a 290°C home oven, it recommends 64–68%.
