flour

Toast
Has anyone tried making sourdough bread using a lower protein flour - I've accidentally bought the wrong sort of flour in France for breadmaking! A combination of not having specs with me and not having good french... The flour I've bought is 10% protein and the flour I normally use is about 12 / 13 %. Any idea what will happen if I use it?

Yes, I have used it before. It will work. Your bread will have a finer crumb and a less chewy texture--more like a dinner roll would be. I don't mind it at all.
