Dough and bread quality attributes of optimal formulation and control with different superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). OWA is the optimum water absorption, DDT is dough development time, LV is loaf volume, SV is specific volume and MC is moisture content. L*, a* and b* are CIELAB colour attributes for lightness, redness and yellowness respectively
