Food & Grocery Bread Flour or Wholemeal Flour

We found the YanYan flour to be much poorer performing than the flour at the supermarkets, and won't consider using it again. Your results may be different than ours-we just tried their best flour and some wheat flour. The few cents difference in price vs performance isn't worth the trip IMO.

We did make our own oatmeal flour with a bag of Quaker Oats and a food processor btw

 

Hello
Flour for bread need a high gluten content to rise poroperly and get a fluffy texture.
When Me and my wife where baking we bought flour at the local market, think we paid about 70 php for a kilo. We made plain white bread frensh type. all by hand kneeding the dow until "theady" then let is rise and kneeded it again and let it rise on the baking plate.. The result was quite good, prettu high bread, atleast double the size as a dow.
we used bought water, a little olive oil Yeast and flour added about 1 tsp of sugar to give the yeast a good start and some salt.. verry easy and plain frensh bread.. If you put the dow in a form.. you can get a form breadshape like the store bought bread. What we notised is that some yeasy you buy is "OFF" like verry old and porly preforming. Try to make a "sour dow" to have the bread rise better.

Sadly enough we never found any rye flour to try to bake some rye bread.

Perhaps it is possible to buy flour from the local baker shop ?

 

Or at least ask, where they buy theirs from

 

Made by my wife over the last 10 years with Jan- Jan Flour & Yeast. She makes 3 loaves in one bake.
They stay nice fresh by keeping them in the freezer until use.

 

Well,I think I know by now ; corner Mabini<> Sta rosa street. Thirth block south of the market.

 

I had same experience.....i use not more then 1/5 of grain and 5/4 of wheat flour....maybe 1/4 and 3/4 worked too......
