Flour for panettone
Happy holiday baking season!
I’ve been browsing the internet for holiday bread recipes and I’ve stumbled across several amazing panettone recipes that seem exciting to try out. However, they all call for very strong flour (around 15% gluten content) like Canadian bread flour or strong Italian 00 flour. I live in the US and these are all pretty pricey from the online vendors I’ve checked out, especially with shipping fees and whatnot. The strongest flour in shops seem to be King Arthur’s bread flour, which only has a gluten content of about 12%. Is that fine to use? Are there any substitutes or online vendors that sell high gluten flour at a more affordable price? Thanks, and happy baking to all!
