Bread flour and yeast

[fluffiphlox]

Not seen any for weeks in shops. Online it’s old sold out Looking specifically for spelt. Anyone seen any?

Really struggled! Eventually had to get a massive 1kg bag of yeast on ebay.

My bread maker only uses the fast yeast, can't get it anywhere

Got bread flour in Lidl this week!

Me too Statement, loads of bread flour

I got sachets of yeast from Ocado this morning. Had to book the slot 3 weeks ago mind you.

Haven't looked for Spelt.

I've got 8 sachets of fast yeast. But no bread flour. I've got one small bag of bread mix though. And 2 full loaves of bread. And wraps.

I ended up ordering a sack of flour from Shipton Mill online. Came a few days later. Very pleased with it and a great price, cheaper than the supermarket and much better quality.

Haven’t seen any flour or yeast for weeks in any of the shops round here.

Shipton Mill isn’t doing much online currently neither is Bakery Bits. No spelt in Tesco or
Waitrose.

I have flour and some yeast, im only making wholemeal bread as it uses less.

What is spelt?

Spelt is a type of wheat. Older than modern wheat. It’s what we make our bread out of.

Yeast is apple mould from the skin

You can harvest it by dunking the apples in water

Look it up online

Apparently there is plenty of flour it's a packaging problem. The Mills are used to packing in bulk for caterers and can't cope with the extra demand for domestic sized packs. People are baking more stuck at home but if you want to buy a sack you should be fine. I don't know if I can link yo the article on my phone.

You can grow your own yeast from raisins and other dried fruit. It’s quite a fun project!

It might be worth trying Holland and Barrett and/or other health shops for spelt flour.

Ahhh fuck yeast dammit 🙄🙄

Yes, make your own yeast. It’s quite easy as pps said but not sure you’ll be able to mill your own flour!
