Peak Performer
Bay Area bakery staple. Strong enough for an open country loaf without jumping to hi-gluten.

Green is the working loaf. Gold is the last mix that still has a gluten net. Red past the ceiling is a sticky puddle.

How it handles
Elastic with enough extensibility for a baguette if you do not overmix. 30 min autolyse, then folds. 73% is the country loaf. 80% is an open-crumb mix that still has a skin if developed. A reliable daily flour for bakers who want more than AP and less than bagel flour.
