After moving from Seattle area many years ago, I started using Kingarthur
because it was very reliable and did a good job for me in making breads.
Now that I've discovered Wheat Montana I am using it a lot. I don't think
it is as easy to find at King Arthur, though. Some BJ's sell King Arthur
all-purpose flour. I buy it in 10# bags for about 37 cents a lb.
