Â* The vendor I was getting my flour from has changed their business
model , and they don't want to bother stocking bulk supplies like the
former owners did . They don't even want to order it for me any more ,
so screw 'em . UPS just delivered a 50 lb bag of my favorite , Seal of
Minnesota unbleached baking flour . Cost me over a buck a pound , but
worth it - it's about 50% more expensive than I was paying at the vendor
, but if the product is unfit - or barely fit- to eat it doesn't matter
how much I saved at Walmart buying AP flour . I did figger out it is the
protein/gluten percentage that made the difference . At any rate , I'm
back to using the flour that made the best bread I ever baked .
According to what I've been reading , the other stuff might be OK for
pie crusts , pizza , etc , stuff that doesn't need to rise much . We
shall see , cuz I ain't tossin' it if I can use it . If nothing else ,
it'll thicken gravy ...
