Hello
I have been using King Arthur flour high fiber flour mix. The mix combines, white bread flour, barley flour and
hi-maize resistant corn starch. KAF tells me this mix is proprietary. I've gotten a sample of hi-maize and would
like to make my own mix. Does anyone have any ideas on good formulations?
Thanks.

High Fiber Mix, Homemade
Each cup of your high fiber flour mix will be a blend comprised of 86.8 grams (about 3.1 oz) of bread flour and 33.2 grams ( about 1.2 oz) of their KA Pure Corn Fiber product(hi maize corn starch).
That "barley flour" component is just the "malted barley flour" that is already a typical addition to most US bread flours(pretty sure, read the KA Hi Maize flour mix and bread flour ingredient labels).
Thanks
Hello and thank you for the percentages.

Wheat flours are not high fiber
Adding seeds and ground flax, nuts and flours with more than 5% fiber may get you there.
Already there
Gram for gram, hi-maize corn starch has far more fiber(60%) than anything mentioned here.
However, Sindlero probably already knows that.
so, the $64 question is:
Where can you get the stuff in Portland, OR? Anyone know? Sometimes, I can get Food Front to order specialty items from King Arthur (they carry their bread flour), so that is one possibility. But, it would be nice if a local store carried it.
