I'm not a baker, not by a longshot. But, did some buying in
anticipation of learning to bake bread, last Winter. Before I could
get too serious, it began warming up and I lost interest, somewhat.
Now that it's cold again, I'm back to baking, but have been lured
astray by the prospect of lovely delicious pies.

Looking at my stash, I have:
bleached AP flour
unbleached AP flour
bread flour
Whole wheat flour
rye flour
gluten additive flour
high altitude AP flour


I want to get some White Lily, which is soft wheat flour. I think
I've got pretty much everything else, including instant tapioca which
I bought last week, along with some fresh baking powder. I plan on
doing some breads, but am still hot on the trail of a good pie. Jes
bought a qt of fresh blueberries. See my new thread.

I always buy unbleached AP flour.
And I usually have bread flour around
and self-rising flour for biscuits.
The self-rising I'm using these days is
Hudson Cream since the White Lily prices went
through the roof (I have to buy it mail-order
as no one stocks it here in Pgh.) I know the
Hudson Cream is not soft wheat flour but I like
it pretty well. My biscuits are about the same
as with the White Lily.

That's about it. I only buy whole wheat on rare
occasions for a special purpose. Hate rye. And
don't see the need for any of those special flours.
