Planet X

....but am confused by the selection and what they would call "Strong White Flour" as Odlums stuff I buy atm.

Any insight peoples?

(I've dropped them a line but I know the knowledge is here also 😀)

I was getting the Caputo flour from Silvio Rabbitte for making bread, sourdough and pizza dough. It looks like they are out of it now, but I'm 99% sure that the Pizza Flour 00 Iaquone should do the trick.

Thanks John.....have a big bag of 00 that I use for pasta and the likes.

It's Strong White Flour made from wheat is what I'm after.

On that site, I'd say the Native Olands White is what you are after.

10% protein.

Nice one ^ 😉

Yes.....I should be looking at high protein content which will produce a high gluten %.

Just bought 'Golden Crust Strong Flour" from Kells Mills. thanks for the heads up bob.

€20 for 16kg. I think it's good value.

On a side note. Has anyone here tried a flour called bere meal? It is local to Orkney where I lived many years. Of there are any Scottish folk here? Delicious and very distinctive

Sounds very interesting. I wish we had a little more variety in flour types in bread available. Although, it's a whole lot better now than 20 years ago. I can easily get spelt or rye bread made locally, at least.

I thought that olands flour I mentioned earlier sound like it could be tasty, too.

If I started baking bread, I'd probably have 20 different flours in the cupboard!
