High protein flour in India
Hi.. Just joined TheFreshLoaf.
Im a homebaker, from Bangalore,India.
Im on a journey to perfect my Croissants.. but in vain.. Ive made it so many times and have even become good with hand lamination
But fail to get a good honeycomb.
Ive tried youtube recipes from bruno albouse , weissman, anna olson, yuval, also read posts from Txbaker, have tried hamelman recipe, tuscan bakers recipe,
Dominique ansel, Read several blogs.. but I never get an open crumb.
Why? My guess is d flour.
Almost all recipes call for bread flour high in protein (11.5 - 13%)
Which is not easily accessible.
I add gluten to increase the %.
2.5gms for (11%) 100 gms flour
I use Vivatta premium maida.
Swissbake does only bulk sale, jose n twF are way too expensive!
I use president / elle & vire Butter for lamination.
Can someone help me with d best flour for Croissants in India!!
Highly appreciated!!
Thank you.
