I live in the UK.....and I'd like to get hold of some Hight Gluten Flour. Where would be the best places for me to get this? Is it readily available? I live in South Wales. Thank you.

If you can get to a Waitrose (there's one in Abergavenny, not sure how near that is to you?) they do some "very strong canadian bread flour". This is the highest gluten content I've found at 15%.

Thank you &roid. It's a bit far from me but if desperate, I'll make my way there. :-)

Here it is on Ocado, not sure if they deliver to you but worth a try: http://www.ocado.com...g bre_SHELFVIEW

Sainsbury's own label strong bread flour isn't bad (varies between 13 - 14%)

Agreed about the Waitrose. Much stronger than the Sainsbury version.

Hope you aren't thinking about making bread with that stuff - there are other solutions!
