A flour comparison

Part of the process of moving and opening up a bakery in a new land, is working with and testing the local flour.  

Here is a no-frills flour comparison between one American and two Spanish flours. 

Just flour and water at 67% hydration with no baking:

*General Mills, Harvest King (MT, US)

*Gabino Bobo, Ariana (Zamora, ES)

*Roca, Eco Força (Lleida, ES)

I'm over here in Spain now with my bakery trailer, trying to get this baby off the ground while sorting through the red tape! ;)

Here's a bakery update that I just made!

Very interesting study!  Will you be posting post-baking videos/pictures?

Pretty soon.  I had just received a few bags of the 'Ariana' flour and wanted to test it out a bit before I baked any bread with it.  Of course my next step will be doing some test batches of bread.

It's always great to watch a Mark Sinclair video.

It's been a while, but I'm getting back into the swing of things.
