I don't like baking breads with all bread flour...
I have come to the realization that I don't like bread flour... Let me clarify this by saying I don't like making bread with all bread flour...
I recently acquired a 50lb bag of King Arthur Bread Flour through the generosity of Will Slick... It has 12.7% protein...
I find that breads made with all bread flour are too chewy for my taste. I have found that my sweetspot for bread flour is not more than 30% with the remainder in AP flour.
Also, I find that if I'm making breads with mostly whole wheat flour, using AP flour in the remainder works just fine...
This just means that the bread flour will last me a lot longer, and I still will have to buy AP at the market unless I can get my hands on a 50lb bag of AP...
