I have recently taken to buying locally milled bread flour (Ivory
Brand from H. R. Wentzel's in Landisburg, Perry County, PA). It
comes in 5 pound sacks tied with string at the top. It is marked as
having washed, blended wheat. For the curious, I paid $3.50 today
for my second bag at their hardware store in Newport, PA.
The flour does not come with a nutrition statement and when I asked
if they knew the protein content, they do not. They also sell
"family flour" which I take to mean an all purpose type, so
presumably, the bread flour has a higher protein content.. (They
also mill corn meal, buckwheat, etc., etc.
The bread I have made so far with it seems fine, yet I am still
curious as to the protein content. Googling didn't help. So, does
anyone on the list know how to do a home test?
