Gluten and protein contents
I'm using Progressive Baker bread flour by Horizon Milling. I bought it in a 50# bag, and there is no information on the bag about protein or gluten content, except the list of nutritional info for 1 cup of flour. It says one cup has 12 g of protein. How do I figure it all out.
I can get King Arthur Special - Unenriched bread flour from this same source. Would that be a better over all choice? I also have whole wheat and rye flours (50# each), so I don't want but one kind of other bulk flour. The space thing is killing me. Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for the link, Ddraig. I'm a little confused about their listings. After protein (14%) it lists 11.5 under "Standard." So, does it have 14% or 11.5% protein? Sorry, I'm trying to figure it out, but......
Also, would spring wheat flour be a better all-around flour than this bread flour? It seems to have high gluten and protein.
