Blancaflor
Argentine “000” supermarket bread flour from Molinos (Blancaflor) — ~10.5% protein, estimated W~200, ash ~0.65% (≈ Italian tipo 0). Enough gluten for everyday loaves, focaccia and pan/home pizza at 58-65% hydration, but short of a strong bread flour: it goes slack on 24h+ cold ferments or very wet doughs. Note this is the plain 000 — NOT Blancaflor's self-rising “Leudante” (which already contains leavening and salt); shoppers routinely confuse the two.
