Question 1

What is the main difference between regular bakers flour and strong bakers flour?

Accepted Answer

Strong bakers flour, like Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour, has a higher protein content, typically around 13-14%, compared to regular or all-purpose bakers flour which is usually 10-12%. This higher protein level means more gluten development when hydrated and kneaded, providing increased elasticity and strength to doughs. It's crucial for achieving that robust structure and chew in items like artisanal breads and laminated pastries.

Question 2

How strong is simply spiked?

Accepted Answer

It seems you're asking about "Simply Spiked," which is a different product. This product is "Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour." Our Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour, however, is considered "strong" due to its high protein and gluten-forming potential. It's engineered for professional baking applications requiring significant dough strength and elasticity, such as creating resilient croissants, chewy bagels, or lofty sourdoughs in a commercial kitchen setting.

Description

Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour | 20KG Bulk for Patisseries

Quick Answer

This 20KG organic strong flour is built for Canadian pastry shops, artisan bakeries, and hotel pastry kitchens that need a high-protein flour for croissants, brioche, sourdough, and bagels. We ship it from Calgary to every province and territory in 2-5 business days.

Strong bakers flour isn't a luxury item; it's the difference between a croissant that holds its shape through proof and one that collapses on the tray. Simply Milled's organic strong flour runs high enough in protein to handle long fermentations, aggressive lamination, and the kind of mixer abuse a 60-quart spiral dishes out on a Saturday morning. We carry the 20KG bag because most of our bakery clients in Calgary were going through smaller bags too fast.

Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour Bulk Food Service | 20KG/44 Lbs: Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service

20KG (44 Lb) bag of organic strong wheat flour. The grind is consistent, the flavour is clean so your butter and inclusions come through, and it gives you the gluten network you need for laminated doughs, sourdough, bagels, and enriched breads. Stocks at our Calgary warehouse, ships to all 10 provinces and 3 territories.

Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.

Chef's Advantage: A strong organic flour will punish you if you overmix it, and it will fall flat on you if you undermix it. Watch your dough, not the clock. For laminated doughs especially, I'd rather give it an extra hour of cold rest than try to force the gluten out in the mixer.

Operator's Tip · ChickenPieces.com Product Specialist

"Calgary bakery accounts keep coming back to this one because the protein holds steady from bag to bag. We've watched it go through hundreds of croissants a day in hotel pastry kitchens and through long sourdough ferments in artisan shops. If you need a strong organic flour that won't surprise you mid-batch, this is the one we point people to."

The chew on a proper bagel and the flake on a lamination both come down to one thing: a flour with enough protein to develop a tight, extensible gluten sheet. Simply Milled's organic strong flour gives Canadian pastry shops that gluten network, and the organic certification lets you put it on the menu without an asterisk. If you're building out a pastry station, have a look at the rest of our pastry range.

Quality & Specifications

Organic strong wheat flour, milled to a fine, even granulation. The 20KG (44 Lb) bag is sized for shops running a few hundred kilos a week. Protein content sits in the range you'd expect from a true strong baker's flour, so you'll get real gluten development without having to supplement.

Pastry & Baking Applications

Long-fermentation sourdough, croissants and Danish, brioche and other enriched doughs, bagels, high-hydration breads, pizza dough, burger buns. If the recipe asks for strength and chew, this is the bag you want on the bench.

Storage & Handling

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry spot below 20°C (68°F) and out of direct sunlight. Flour picks up ambient odours fast, so don't store it next to your spice rack or cleaning supplies. A sealed food-grade bin or tight original bag is enough; just keep moisture and pests out.

Canadian Sourcing

We stock it at the Calgary distribution hub and ship direct to food service operators across Canada. Order ships in 2-5 business days to most addresses. Need a full pallet for a hotel group or commissary? Email us and we'll line up the freight.

How to clean equipment after using Simply Milled Strong Bakers Flour /?

Cleaning equipment after using Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour involves standard bakery sanitation practices. Start by scraping off any dry flour residue from mixers, workbenches, and tools. Then, use warm water and a food-safe detergent to thoroughly wash all surfaces and components that came into contact with the flour, paying attention to crevices where dough might hide. Rinse thoroughly and sanitize according to your HACCP plan, ensuring all equipment is completely dry before next use to prevent gluten buildup or mould.

What is the typical yield of Simply Milled Strong Bakers Flour / per case?

The typical yield of Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour per 20KG bulk bag will vary significantly based on your specific recipes and the hydration levels you use. For example, a commercial bakery might produce approximately 40-50 standard 500g loaves of bread from one 20KG bag, assuming a 65-75% hydration. For laminated pastries like croissants, where less flour is typically used per finished piece, the yield would be much higher, potentially hundreds of individual pastries. It's best to run a batch test with your specific formulation to determine precise yields for your operation.

What is the optimal working temperature for doughs made with Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour?

For doughs made with Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour, maintaining an optimal dough temperature, often called the "final dough temperature," usually between 24-27°C (75-80°F), is crucial for proper gluten development and fermentation. The strong gluten benefits from this warmth to become pliable and extensible. Adjusting your water temperature during mixing is key to hitting this target.

What is the substitution ratio when replacing standard all-purpose flour with Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour?

When substituting Simply Milled Strong Bakers Organic Flour for standard all-purpose flour, you'll generally use a 1:1 weight ratio for the flour itself, but you may need to adjust your liquid content. Due to its higher protein, this strong flour can absorb more water, so be prepared to increase hydration slightly, sometimes by 5-10%, to achieve the desired dough consistency and prevent a stiff, dry product.
