Hemp protein (Cannabis sativa L.) was incorporated into wheat flour at concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15% and its effects on the rheological properties of the dough and the quality characteristics of the resulted breads were investigated. Rheological analysis revealed that hemp protein-enriched doughs exhibited significantly higher Young’s modulus of elasticity and elongational viscosity values compared to the wheat flour dough, indicating that the incorporation of hemp protein affected the firmness of the doughs. Farinograph analysis showed that replacing wheat flour with hemp protein increased water absorption, dough development time, and stability, while extensiograph analysis showed increased dough resistance and decreased extensibility and energy with hemp protein addition. Statistical analysis revealed that hemp protein significantly affected the moisture content, specific volume and crumb color of breads. Bread fortified with hemp protein had a darker color compared to the control bread. The addition of hemp protein affected the texture of the breads. It is recommended that hemp protein could be utilized as an alternative protein source, potentially enhancing dough characteristics, texture, quality, and the nutritional value of protein-rich breads, biscuits, snacks, and other bakery products.
