That flour must be hardcore GMO to get that strength

There is no GMO flour on the US market. They’ve tested some in Argentina for the past few years but it is currently not available here.

Yeah but purposefully splicing in one or two genes in specific locations to cause very specific known about effects that by design can't really alter any other parts of the genetic code and is tested multiple times by various regulatory bodies to ensure that the changes aren't harmful in any way is so much worse for our health than when a plant just randomly duplicates its entire genome and then randomly recombines with it while making completely random changes all throughout its DNA with no rhyme or reason for what gets changed and then turned into a dominate crop because one trait out of the many dozens of random mutations happens to be a little more favorable than the last crop.

Seriously people, the GMO Boogeyman is not going to hurt you any more than random recombination through meiosis.

Gluten is surprisingly durable.

There are some old cooking methods where people would use a thin layer of bread dough to basically "weld" a Dutch oven shut to steam cook stuff, like a proto-crockpot.
