Managed to get a couple of bags of Canadian Extra strong flour. I get a weird chemical taste/smell off the bread. My husband doesn't notice it. I must be one of those super tasters😕 Will use it as there's nothing else. Just enough wholemeal left for a half and half soda bread😞
Apparently the problem about flour is not that there's a shortage of flour but that they can't package it quickly enough. They supposedly have plenty of large bags/sacks which they normally supply to the baking trade but which they can't sell in the supermarket. I would be quite happy to buy a sack of bread flour, we haven't run out yet but only have wholegrain, Rye and spelt left. Still, we've only been to the supermarket once in the last month so maybe the situation will have changed by the next time we go. Fingers crossed.
@Obelixx. No I haven’t been out for 3 weeks, could be more lost track, I never go shopping, I’ve had a weekly order from Tesco but the never have any flower, even corn flour’s gone now as well. Never mind, try again next week,🙂
I cant complain , I’ve never been let down with an order or the goods I’ve ordered. spoke to my cousin in Norfolk yesterday, her Tesco’s have put all their older staff off on full pay.

There was plenty of gram flour in the Asian section of Sainsbury's but apart from bahjees, I wouldn't know what to do with it. I don't think you can use it for bread.
We use gram flour to make sort of fritters , mainly courgette as it is a good way to preserve them in the freezer but it works well with sweet corn kernels or even leek. It is also a good way for us to get vegetables into fussy granddaughters as its not so obvious that their green!
Just looked in online tesco, no flour, no sugar, no mixed fruit, everyone’s turned to cake making now.
My daughter made me laugh, her 11 year old doesn’t like to sit and read a book but does like cooking so she made him read through the recipe books to find something he wants to make, so reading, weighing and cooking, a science lesson all thrown in. She is loving this lockdown with her kids.
