Central Milling Product and Packaging Name Change at Costco

Forums:

If you've been using Central Milling's Organic AP flour from Costco You most likely may have noticed that it is no longer available - well sort of, let me explain . Costco is not in the habit of communicating changes in their product offering especially in staples like flour. My guess is their belief is that the branding costs buried in a products cost should be returned to the customer in the form of a lower price. It's part of the Costco shopping mystery.

Butter Cracking

Forums:

Ingredients

I've been making croissants for the last 2 months and just this last time I had an issue with my butter cracking before lamination. I took it out of the fridge to reach the pliable stage before lamination, so it was to the pliable stage but then it started cracking and breaking apart.

Would I LYE to you?

Forums:

Ingredients

While other lyes can be true, these are known to give the best results

Making Pretzels/Bagels: Sodium Hydroxide (often substituted since it can be dangerous to work with)

Making Ramen Noodles: kansui powder (potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate [which can be made from baking soda]) (Often substituted since it can be difficult to acquire)

BAGEL formula question

Forums:

Ingredients

Hello, friends.

Over the last few weeks/months on and off I have been working on my Kaiser roll game. I am now pretty happy with the results I am getting from the workflow I am using. Of course, at casa Falzon we never close the book, instead with every bake we strive to advance and evolve.

Where did affordable whole wheat flour go?

Forums:

Ingredients

I have been buying Wheat Montana Whole Wheat flour for my bread making for years, but starting several months ago I can not find it at any of the stores that used to carry it. In fact they have no whole wheat flour of any brand.

So I switched to buying King Arthur whole wheat flour on line. Now it is suddenly unavailable. I ordered some from Amazon but it never came. It says it is "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be in stock."

Sprouted Whole wheat

Forums:

Ingredients

I've been baking with sprouted Whole Wheat and sprouted Rye from Lindley Mills for the last month or so and thought I'd share my thoughts.

I've made several loaves from "Bread Revolution"

The crumb of the whole wheat flour is soft, almost cakelike. Most likely from the weak gluten formation. I've found that working with it is a lot like working with Rye. The dough is sticky and benefits from acidification.

How to think about dry additions with respect to flour?

Forums:

Ingredients

Hi,

Something that I would love to understand better when build a sourdough recipe. Standard recipe calculators provide you a flour amount for a target dough hydration level.

If I want to add a dry (powdered) seasoning/flavouring, for example garlic powder, milk powder, etc. Does the amount of the added dry ingredients take from the flour amount or not?

Boiled Apple Cider

Forums:

Ingredients

I recently purchased some boiled apple cider form King Arthur. They are having a "buy one get one half off" sale right now. I had never heard of it until recently when browsing their recipes. Do you just add it to your bread/muffins like an extract? I'd do an apple pie, but I don't like the texture of cooked apples.

Granoferm

Forums:

Ingredients

An interesting article (+ recipe) on a new flour product called Granoferm. It's made partially with a Lievito Madre ferment of wheat bran, followed by heat processing.

I guess it's a bit like the bran levain some of us have made in the past (or maybe the present?)
