Michelangelo SignorileMy baguettes, baked yesterday
Yaz@msignorile They are beautiful. What flour/s did you use?
@yaz The flour i from France -- and that is what makes the difference -- and is hard to get. I get it via a Rhode Island distributor online.
@msignorile ah that makes sense. The best baguettes I ever made I used french flour - easier to get here in England. But I just thought it was a fluke of baking, rather than the origin of the flour! I’ll have to buy some more. Thank you.
@yaz Well, I have a husband who is a francophile and a lover of bread and has some digestive issues. He swore that bread in France never gave him indigestion. But American-made baguettes or any other bread with American flour did. So we search for the flour. And voilà! No indigestion The taste is amazingly different, and French friends in NYC have noted it.
