Bread flour ash content

I am interested to know the ash content (55, 60, 65) of the Robin Hood Best For Bread Homestyle White Flour. I need this to determine how much water I need to arrive at a good fermented dough.

 

Anybody knows?

 

 

Thank you,

to contact the manufacturer and ask.  I Googled the brand and found a toll free number you can call.  Link

Search engines can be quite helpful.

You might want to visit The Artisan for more information on the classification of flour.

the best place to find European style breads were the bakeries of the big international hotels in major cities.  Go there and find out who bakes their bread or if they have an in-house bakery that you could tour.   In what part of Indonesia are you located?

this is very complecated issue. first of all. if the ass is low then the flour has higher quality. but this is all about mill process. for example if they cant optimize the starchy damage or cant make the water its temperature  under control of the process equipments then the ash content will be so much. if you really want more info. i can type you more. but you had better use german or french source for this. because german and french technogy is the best for all flour.
