It looks like flour, and you add a Tablespoon or two to your bread dough when you add the flour (maybe one TB per cup of flour?). You can probably get it at a health food bulk bin, or try azurestandard dotcom, or Bob's Red Mill (I don't know their web address).

I went to a wholesale place in Buffalo that someone told me about. It only cost me 17.30 for the bag. I see lots of bagels/pizza dough in my future. I prefer HG flour for bagels because I like chewy bagels. I just bought a 50lb bag of high gluten flour( 14% protein) for baking bagels.

One example where I will swap them out for different uses is in making cookies. I made my lady friend some Chewy Chocolate Chunk cookies using the Alton Brown's variation on the Toll House recipe and instead of the chocolate chips breaking up some Easter chocolate. I mostly use AP but I usually have bread flour around the house. I can't make pizza dough with AP. It's not pizza dough with AP; it's just well ... not stretchy enough.

I want to make one, even though there are no little ones in my home anymore...however, I think the 20 year old will get a real kick out of it. Thanks! That snake bread is too precious!
