Bouncer

Profile picture for user Susan

Here's my first loaf using Bay State Milling's Bouncer. (Premium high gluten flour made from the finest high-protein spring wheat.) Smiling nicely, isn't it?

Dough made with this flour felt softer than with the GM All Trumps I've been using, and less stretchy. I was worried that my usual 70% hydration would be too high, but I don't think it was. The crust seemed a bit thicker and, boy, did it sing when it came out of the oven!

There was no real reason to switch from All Trumps to Bouncer; I just wanted to try out different flours.

Thanks for looking!

Looks nice! Maybe one day I'll have a chance to try out all the flours that everyone talks about here.

As Usual.

 

I have to look up your recipe again. I've been stuck on Nury's Rye and other Rye breads too long. Great job Susan.                                                                                                                                weavershouse

I have used Bouncer for years.  Usually for my pizza dough or my bialys.  Very consistant flour.  I buy mine in a 25# bag at my local restaurant supply co., where do you get yours?

Good to know that it's consistent from bag to bag. Thanks. I buy flour in 50# bags from a local bakery distributor. Can't stand to run out of flour.

Breadmaking is a fun ride.

You really have a gift for bread baking. You continually inspire me to forge ahead!

Thanks,

Did that make a boom when it blew? I hope that it tasted as good as it looks.
