MTI, or Mixing Tolerance Index, is a measurement of dough strength as determined by the Farinograph recording dough mixer. The MTI is the measure of breakdown rate of the dough after it has reached its optimum or peak mixing time. An MTI of 20 indicates only slight breakdown and a strong flour, 30 is a mellow flour, and 40 to 50 indicates a slightly weak flour. An MTI of more than 50 indicates a weak flour.
