Bread flour

[lauras231279]

Does anyone know where I might get some bread flour? I'm trying to go as long as I can without shopping and coming to the point where I need to go out but don't want to visit loads of shops if I can help it.

Gather on Bellenden Road has plenty.

I managed to get flour in Sainsbury?s but what I can?t find is yeast. Has anyone had any luck finding yeast anywhere?

If you can't find yeast, there are two workable alternatives.

The first, low-rent, option involves bicarbonate of soda and some sort of acid (lemon juice is best, but if vinegar is all you've got, it'll do the job).

The second option is to cultivate a sourdough starter. It'll take a few days but, once you've done it, you'll be able to give it a name, call yourself an artisan and drone on about it for a decade.

Just follow these links for instructions:

A third option, and for quick bread, is beer - plenty of beer bread recipes out there

If anyone is still looking for bread flour - Ayres Bakery in Nunhead is selling pre-bagged strong white and wholemeal flour. Which is a really nice thing to do when you think about it (effectively cutting across their business model, but recognising they have lots of it!).

Organic Village has a selection of flours.

White Plain ,Self Raising, Wholemeal, Organic which they will weigh out for you. Gluten Free in bags.

I?ve got a fair bit of yeast in packets going dormant..

some in date, some a few months last but will be fine..

I?ve switched to fresh yeast or starter so have no need...

I got some fresh yeast from the bakery in the back of organic village on lordship Lane.
