slow rise hot bake - increased anti-oxidants in pizza dough

I have my bagel mix first batter (urid lentil, yeast and water) doing a long slow fermentation, so am trawling the data available on the impact that has on digestibility and nutrition. This is an article about wheat pizza crust, not a gluten free dough, but it seems likely that at least some of the action are likely to be the same.


"Increasing baking temperature from 204 to 288 °C with a 7 min bake time increased all evaluated antioxidant properties by as much as 82%. Increasing baking time from 7 to 14 min with 204 °C baking temperature might increase some antioxidant properties as much as 60%. The results from this study suggest that longer dough fermentation times and increased baking time or temperature may be potential approaches to increase the antioxidant availability in whole-wheat pizza crust."
