Thanks for wasting my time. It is much more polite to be up front about what you are talking about. In this case: http://www.livescience.com/36206-truth-potassium-bromate-food-additive.html

I quit using bleached flour in the 70s and mostly use Pillsbury Best all purpose Unbleached Flour or King Arthur all purpose Unbleached Flour.
Why bleach flour and then have to add nutrients back in?

Hardly anyone uses it for pizza- too low protein content. We use (in order of preference) Caputo Tipo Fino 00 Blue, Wheat Montana Unbleached, and King Arthur AP Unbleached. With all due modesty, our pizza rocks.
Sy,
There's a fair amount of noise in the system concerning your pizza. What's your secret (other than the named flours)?

Heat, lots of heat. Pizza stones. Hours of preheating. And we get the best results when the dough ages in the refrigerator for a few days.
DOP San Marzano tomatoes when our home-grown aren't in season. Simple ingredients (sauce is crushed tomato, salt, garlic, and a little olive oil).
Fresh tomatoes are only good for a few weeks per year.
I figure that the Neapolitans know what they're doing. 😀

Yes, we've experimented with it. We've ended up using a lot of ideas from Peter Reinhart. Since we have a commercial mixer, kneading is easy for us, so we adjust methods depending on what we want a particular pizza or bread to feel and taste like.
You'll love the Tipo Fino.
SY, are you into sourdough at all? Seeing how sophisticated you are in the culinary arts, somehow I expect you are into sourdough. I got some starter from the Oregon trail enthusiasts ( Carl Griffith 1847 Oregon Trail Sourdough Page ) and have been using it for bread. Far from know what I'm doing... just experimenting.
My wife has a culture she uses when she makes it. I've not done it myself (too many years spent near Acme in Berkeley).
I've got a sourdough starter I started from rye flour some eight or nine years ago.
If I leave it for 6 months it takes near a week to get it going, but it has never failed me.
I gave my daughter some before Christmas and she never used it. I went to see her three weeks ago and made sourdough Sun Dried tomato with Asiago cheese bread. It only took 24hrs to wake up the starter.
The bread was great.

I never had any Nan for more than 4 times in my life, and must be a year ago last. India is a BIG country and my staple food is rice, wheat and fresh vegetables. Though, I am not a vegetarian, we(me & wife) have found that eat any fresh fish, it creates B movement issues bringing ill health. I don't remember when I last ate butter, but ghee/oil is used in very small quantity.

Use more turmeric and you'll be ok. ;-)
It has been shown to have anti-carcinogenic properties and dramatically reduces the growth of blood vessels of all kind of tumours. It also has antiseptic properties and promotes healing resulting in reduced scarring if applied correctly to wounds.

Turmeric is being promoted as the new "superfood" and demand is causing prices to triple in some areas. Funny how food fashions go... It rather reminds me of how people used to talk about Vitamin E and Fish oil.
I used to take fish oil as a supliment.
A little over three years ago I was having sporatic chest pain that was high up and to the left. My doctor told me to go to the Emergency Room at the hospital next time.
Weeks later after lunch I was having the pain so I went to the ER. EKG was normal, enzime did not indicate cardiac event. Cardiologist recommended I get a stress test as I was 59 at the time.
Stress test had a "shadow" on the back of my heart so Cardologist recommended catheterization. I ended up with a stint in my LAD and was told I dodged the big one.
A year later my Cardiologist moved so I had to find another one. He wanted to run another (nuclear) stress test but Insurance wouldn't cover it. After 6 months of arguing they finally let me get it. Test showed no indication I had had a heart attack.
6 months later I'm still having sportic chest pain and my new doctor is reviewing my meds and notices I had listed my supliments including fish oil. He told me to stop taking the fish oil and was of the opinion that most chest pain was indigestion and not heart related.
After I stopped taking the fish oil my chest pain went away (except when I eat greasy food).
I'll stick to a reasonable diet and skip the supliments.
