44th bake. 04/26/2021. 100% stone ground WW durum.
First loaf-bread bake with Patel s house brand 100% WW stone ground durum. For a picture of the bag, see here: https://www.thefreshloaf.com/comment/469299#comment-469299
It was $7.99 for a 20-pound bag, $.40/pound. Ingredient list is just durum whole wheat. No enrichments.
I ve done tortillas, pizza crust (didn t let it autolyse/soak enough), and noodles, but this was the first loaf bread with this flour.
I learned from using the Sher Fiber Wala (from Brar Mills) 100% whole grain roller-milled flour, that WW durum takes a while to absorb the water and now even more so with the grittier stone ground flour.

If you can expand the photo, it says Durum wheat flour, durum wheat bran, and wheat flour blend. So it s obviously a reconstituted type of flour, having bran added back in.
The and wheat flour blend makes me think it is not 100% durum. (I forgot to take a photo of its official ingredient list. Last I looked it had vitamin and folate enrichments.)
Golden Temple has two types of flour. Here s what Alfanso bought (his pic):
The label looks the same. And he liked it.
I did try some Golden Temple many years ago as a partial ingredient in bread machine bread. It seemed okay, but that was before I was a bread snob.
