The main aim of the study was to investigate the texture and sensory properties of
wheat bread with nettle infusion, which was incorporated into the dough recipe in
the process of wheat flour scalding. The addition of nettle, at the following concen-
tration: 10, 20, 30, and 40 mg/ml, was introduced into the dough as an infusion in
the process of scalding. The increasing addition of nettle infusion caused a decrease
in baking loss and the volume of the obtained loaves, and an increase in the poros-
ity index of the herbal crumb. Using the method with scalding flour had a positive
influence on the hardness (up to 20 mg/ml) and the springiness of the bread crumb.
Sensory analysis showed that the bread enriched with 10 mg/ml and 20 mg/ml of
nettle infusion achieved the highest scores of overall acceptability in comparison to
the control sample
