Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour, 5 lb (Pack of 4)

I do a lot of baking and I really like this flour! I have recently started baking bread with a sourdough starter and have been using a lot of flour to keep the starter going and to try to perfect my bread :)

Hands down the best flour I've ever used for any and all breads and other baked goods. I've used it from the "purest" french bread (flour, tiny bit of salt, and yeast), to more complex multigrain breads. It rises well, handles well, is consistent in quality and taste across many years of use. You may also try Bob's Organic Unbleached Unbromated White Flour for the "purest of pure" flours. I'd also recommend mixing in some whole flour (not white) depending on your recipe. For a delicate white bread like french bread, coating the top and bottom of the bread (dusting the pan) with whole flour and dusting the top, does the trick nicely.

I buy both the Unbleached White and the Whole Wheat Flours in 20lb bundles like this. You can't beat the cost savings in bulk and Bob's Red Mill is a quality that you can count on. When I get my flours, I prep them into quart freezer bags with 1 1/2 cups of each kind. (I find that 3 cups is a lowest common number for bread recipes) I can get 10 loaf bags by opening one of each, so you can approximate 5 loaves per bag. When I determine what kind of breads and quantities of each I'm going to make out of the entire batch, I add dry ingredients to the freezer bags. If you add all the dry ingredients EXCEPT the yeast, you have pre-made bread mixes however you want them. Then I just add labels and stack in my freezer. It makes bread making so much easier and ensures my ingredients stay fresh.

Great to make cookies bread pastry using food processor

I have tons of Bob's Red Mill items in my home and this is just one of those many that is just perfect. Everything I get is so wonderful, healthy and just makes me want to make good things. Flour is amazing... I have lots of beans and oh my gosh do they ever make fabulous, hearty soups etc. especially for those of us living in FAR Northern Maine. Been a cold winter that has seen lots of enjoyable meals with Bob's Red Mill products.
