Flour Test...

Re: Flour Test...

Hi Brian!

I agree with your conclusion. They list the grams in whole grams and anything from 2.50001 or so to 3.5 grams would be listed as 3 which equates to anywhere from 8.33 to 11.67 percent so the grams is not very helpful at really knowing what the flour is like...

As bakers I think we need good info from the manufacturers. Sure, flour varies but they can at least give us their targets or norms to keep us close.

Thanks!

Re: Flour Test...

I have a addition to the flour test. I tried the Caputo red pizza bag against some store brand all-purpose unbleached flour.

I made 3 balls of each using the Pizza Stone recipe again.

I used the two stone method in a 550 degree Fahrenheit oven.

I was pleased with both pizza's I think but it is clear the Caputo was crisper and the store brand was more doughy.

I also think the Caputo handled better.
