HIGH STRENGTH FLOUR???

[ERASMO]

I just spoke to a local pizza maker and he uses what he referred to as "High Strength Flour"

What do you think he is referring to.

His place makes greek pan style pizza.

[scott r]

he means high gluten, or high protein....all the same thing.

ERASMO,

Was it "Full Strength" rather than "High Strength" by any chance?

    He is greek with a strong accent.  He said high strength but I think he meant full strength.  He is going to bring me a small bag today when he does I am going to pick his brain and try to find out exactly what four it is.  This man operates one of our favorite greek style pan pizza places and he enjoyed seeing my wood fired oven video on you tube so we started talking pizza.  I am hoping to find out his recipe and ingredients.

ERASMO,

The last Greek pizza place I visited, where both of the owners were also Greek with pretty fairly heavy accents, I was told that the flour they were using is the GM Full Strength flour. You can see the specs at http://www.gmflour.com/gmflour/Flour_SpecSheet/FullStrength%20Enr%20Mal%20Bl%20Bro53381.doc.

Hey,

Are you around the Philadelphia area? I'm Greek and from Philadelphia... I know a lot of Greek's in the pizza business. A lot of them are doing Pan Pizzas.
MOST of them use Pillsbury So strong High Gluten Flour.

Yes, Philadelphia area.

I was going to pick up a bag of the GM Full Strength. Do you think the So Strong would be a better choice?

Thanks for the info!
