Hi there I'm looking for high gluten flour, around 13-15% protein content. I was hoping to find something like King Arthur High Gluten which is at 14% I think, but haven't seen it around in stores.

I have not seen it around, but you can buy gluten at Bulk Barn or at supermarkets (with the Bob's Red Mill products). It is about 75% protein, so you can do some math and add it to all purpose or bread flour to get your target percentage. Or just add about a TB per loaf to bread flour if you are math averse. Works fine.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the advice. What brand/sort of bread flour to you use and where do buy it from? Doesn't necessarily need to be King Arthur, just need to find some bread flour and I can check the protein % from there. Then if it's too low I can always use your suggestion and add some more gluten to it.

Robin Hood bread flour has 4 grams of protein per 1/4 cup or 16 grams per cup. I use it all the time for my bread making.

Buy Vital Wheat Gluten and add it to any AP flour.

For making Ramen noodles I've had great success with 300g AP, 20g VWG, 1.5tsp Kansui ~ 1/2 cup warm water. Very stiff dough but makes for some amazing noodles.
