Obtaining bread/hi-gluten/strong flour in Baja


Hi there,

I have been trying to find some hi-gluten flour in Baja to make some bread and pizza, looking for a protein percentage of at least 13%. Calimax and the other supermarkets seem really disappointing in this respect, having just general all-purpose flour. I was wondering what the panaderia's use, and whether anyone on here knows how to obtain stronger flour?


Regards,

Mike
