g.b. on bread flour?

[christhebrewer]

I'm going to see if I can get some more Shackelton's supreme bakers flour soon. It's an extra strong bread flour and I find it very good. About €16 per 16kg bag. Anyone else want some?

I recall a thread on this recently.
Polish 550 floor is 99c/Kg

[christhebrewer]

I know. But the Shackelton's is nicer. I'm getting some more anyway and I would feel bad if I didn't offer it.

Let me know if you are doing this again as I was on a basic bread making course today and it debunked some of the mystery.
Watch out Mr Brennan.
At least I know what you are all talking about in this part of the forum

Are those loaves you made today? The knotwork looks a little beyond basic breadmaking

I'm not so sure those things are mutually exclusive, I play Playstation as good as daily......and have played some form of console since I first owned an Atari 2600 in the early 80's.

Do a bit meself but if that's all you do then its not going to help in an end of world scenario. Picture 40+ teenager types "Maa is there any'nt to eat because the phone does'nt work and I cannot contact Domino's".

Yep, they were very simple just three strands of dough platted and egg washed.

Cool, nice one. Where did you do the course? I'd be well into it myself, I made fresh pizza on Saturday and they were really good.

Not the cheapest @ 125 yo yos for a days course , but I will be going back for more advanced breads.
They also sell proper yeast there, 500g for €8 which will do me 25-30 loaves depending on style.

Very impressive. I assume it's not all for yourself? I'd barely eat that much bread in a month. Must have another go at making spent grain bread.

They look delicious.

On the next course can you ask them where "proper" bakers yeast comes from?

I know for sour dough you make a starter and grow it up, beer starters we know about but how do they grow the massive amounts of yeast.?

Or is it from the brewing industry?

If not how do they grow it up?

Those loaves look super CH!

Id love a sack of organic strong white bread flour if there is a chance of a GB.  Musgraves sell odlums stuff but there isnt any saving buying their largest bag.

[Ciderhead]

Unfortunately odlums strong flour was slated as it's designed for mass production of bread and over processed for fast tracking bread production, their wholemeal is ok though.
