Father-in-law uses all trumps high gluten flour in his bakery. The gluten makes the dough much more workable for sub rolls, hard rolls, etc, breads you shape. They use it for all their breads.
He makes the best sour rye I've ever had, and a onion sour rye.
Don't know much about his starter other than he makes his own, only uses it in his rye.
That sound good. Mine had a donut shop good stuff there back in the day. Long hard hours in that shop.

The one thing that I miss about having grandparents, is that my grandfather was a baker. Growing up, my mother would have us make glue out of flour and water. She never told us after a few days that what we were looking at was sourdough. She always told us that the paste had gone bad, and to throw it away and make new. Now that I make sourdough, I have asked her why she didn't tell us. She said she just never thought of it.
How do you forget such a major part of your upbringing?
beer can mention it in a post higher up and I thought you were just agreeing.
