W & H Marriage & Son 100% Canadian Very Strong White Flour 1.5kg (Pack of 5)

This is easily my favourite bread flour. Being a quality Canadian brand, it has a really good strength and consistency, which makes a noticeable difference when working with sourdough. I run a small bakery and this is the only brand I use for my sourdough loaves and baguettes. The dough handles really well, develops good structure and gives a lovely rise and crust when baked properly. I’ve tried plenty of other flours over the years, but I keep coming back to this one because I know I’ll get consistent results every time. Highly recommended if you’re serious about making bread, especially sourdough or baguettes.

One of the best bread flour I used in uk with high protein content. It's easy to handle, and it's always give stable quality dough. Reasonable price.

I had to change my bread flour due to cost and was wary about trying a different one, however after reading the reviews for this flour I decided to give it a go and am very happy with the results. Good value, great strength and texture, perfect for sourdough. Highly recommended

The high protein content gives a perfect rise, elastic dough, and a soft but structured crumb.

Conclusion: Highly recommended for serious baking — especially bread and pizza.

Made my bread so light and airy,brilliant flour. The best I’ve used as yet.

Update: be careful from whom you buy this, if it doesn't behave like normal, get in touch with the seller for a full refund. I got one lot from alpine heights and the air just wouldn't stay in the bread! Made me question everything I know about baking bread, it was horrible and it took me weeks to realise, I just thought it was me. I've used every flour in the supermarket, including M&S Canadian flour with 14.9% protein, (Marriages tops that at 15% protein) and nothing comes close to this flour in terms of gluten development and quality of bread as a result. When I switched it was like night and day. I make ciabatta virtually every day, I've been trying to perfect it for close to 6 months now, I would have good days and bad days, I was using a stand mixer that was constantly on the fritz, but no two days were the same, sometimes the gluten would develop, sometimes it would not. For ciabatta, you need a high hydration, this gives you those nice big holes in the texture of the crumb. The problem was the flour I was using would not hold that level of water and still provide a decent structure, the air would escape, and I would be sad, most of the time. Sometimes I had fantastic results, then the next day it would collapse. Enter Marriage's Flour. I started using Marriage's after I was running out of the other stuff, and had a look on Amazon, I knew I would use it, so 5x1.5kg makes sense. Got a good deal, and I'm really loving the results. Immediately, like straight away, I knew things were different. After just mixing together the usual basic ingredients, I could tell it was stiffer and more rigid. There are two proteins that form the gluten network one allows it to stretch, the other to make it bounce back. I'm guessing this flour is much higher in the second one, because the effect is almost like a rubber ball, when you get a dough with less than 70% with this flour, it almost feels like you could bounce it sometimes. My first dough after its final proof in the bowl, I tipped it onto a baking sheet and as I did so, it formed a dome and a round circular shape, the tension in the dough kept it looking perfect.

The flour is very good, but the packaging was poor. The box and one bag of flour was broken.

Excellent Flour
