Bakers of Nostr, where do you buy your bread flour? Especially if it’s very cheap.

I used to only use All Purpose flour for baking bread, and had found a great source of cheap, high quality AP flour. Switching to actual bread flour has made a huge positive difference and I’m looking for a cheaper source.

Bonus: what kind of wheat berries exactly are used for bread flour? Is there a wheat or flour even more rich in gluten that could lead to even fluffier bread?

🌟 Notes:

- I’m looking for organic bread flour.

- If it’s actually grown organically it does not have to be certified organic.

- Bread flour is a specific type of flour that is higher in protein which leads to more gluten development and fluffier bread.

Many flours are good for bread making generally speaking if you got a flour made from wheats that got lots of sun with 12%+ eggwhite you are good.

Alternatively you can buy wheatgluten and improve flour you have yourself

I use plain flour to make pasta dough, seems to work better than the 00 stuff.

Also having your own free range chickens eating plenty of grass gives an orange yolk and colour to the pasta.

It’s true many flours make good bread, but I’m looking for the specific kind of flour called “bread flour” because its higher protein has made my bread much better and fluffier:

Bread flour is just flour with 12%+ protein

Made from hard wheats i worded it badly.

Tried to say what bread flour is it isnt a specific wheat.

I dont know what to call it in english but "wheat gluten" if you add that to all purpose you get a similar effect while saving some money
