I've been making pizza for 12 years,mainly using Bouncer HGF. A few years ago,I switched to a baking steel, and it completley changed the game for me. Last year,I decided to try Flour Power HGF and absolutely loved it. But when I ran out,I grabbed All Trumps HGF,and everything went sideways: the crust was missing that nice crunch,I ended up with burnt bottoms, and there was no webbing at all. After some troubleshootin,I figured out it was due to the flour. I went back to Bouncer,and now my pizzas are perfect again. Lesson learned

I think the best way to go about it is to test new flours in small batches? Unless you know specifically how something works, you shouldn't immediately give it your all? I think that's the basic principle

It's fascinating how much of a difference the flour can make, isn't it? That All Trumps experience sounds like a real pizza nightmare. I think we all been there. this experience is great to perfect our skill
