New Orleans artisan flour
I'm moving to New Orleans from northern California this fall. I've never lived there before and don't know anyone there who bakes bread, so I have no clue where I can get good flour for the pain au levain I make. For a year or so I've been getting Giusto's organic unbleached bread flour and whole wheat flour (the former is 14.2% protein, the latter 15%) from my local food co-op, and they are VERY good. However, it's a Bay Area company, and I'd rather not have to have my mom ship me flour on a regular basis. Is there a place where I could buy high-gluten organic flour in New Orleans or the surroundings that anyone knows about?
