Hi VS, we're so sorry to hear you had difficulties with this recipe when using the Organic Bread Flour! Supply of the highest protein flour has been extremely limited due to shortage of organic farms combined with harsh growing seasons (severe weather). In order to keep producing our Organic Bread Flour, we temporarily reduced the protein level until conditions improve. The current protein percentage for this flour is 12.3%. For most bread recipes that call for bread flour this protein level would be more than adequate, but I can see that this particular recipe might well be more challenging with the organic version of our bread flour. If you'd like to try this recipe again, I'd recommend using our regular Bread Flour, which has a protein percentage of 12.7%.
