Wheat flour is a product derived from dry milling of wheat grain. It is basically the endosperm or the dry reserve from wheat germ. It consists mainly of starch and protein. Extensibility of dough refers to the power of dough to stretch when pulled and is directly dependent on the power of its gluten to stretch. The extensibility of dough can be measured by dough testing machines such as extensograph.
