6hosted a pizza night for 12 people last friday. made 20 pies with this flour. every. single. one. turned out perfect. KA bread flour is the GOAT for entertaining b/c you know exactly what youre gonna get
mixed 50/50 with KA all purpose for thin crust bar style. pure bread flour was way too chewy for tavern cut squares. the blend at 61% on a steel is *chefs kiss*
good flour. consistent.
Pro tip that took me a year to figure out: let your dough balls come to full room temp (2+ hours) before stretching. Cold KABF dough snaps back like a rubber band and youll tear it. Room temp its silky smooth. Also hold back 10% water and add it in gradually during kneading, absorbs better that way
the snapback is real
NY style at home: 63% hydration, 72h cold ferment, baking steel at max oven temp. KA bread flour is literally all you need. Stop ordering fancy italian flour for $12/kg when this is $5 at any grocery store and the end result is 95% as good
