Pro tip: I swapped my usual bread flour for a high-protein pizza flour in my sourdough starter for a month.

The loaves came out with a weird, almost rubbery crust that made my regulars ask if I'd changed ovens. Anyone have a better high-protein flour they've actually had luck with?

Ugh, that's every "upgrade" I try.

Was it the protein content that messed things up, or maybe the way the flour hydrates? @umac71's right about the chew toy thing but I wonder if you checked the ash content too because that can really change the crust.

Well that backfired... now your bread has a chew toy texture. Maybe try a different brand next time?
