Right now it is on sale at my local grocery store for $2.98 for a 5
pound bag. Usual price is $4.58. Found a coupon for $1.00 off one
bag this morning. I am stocking up since there is a good date on the
bags and I keep mine in a refrigerator until time to use it.

Wow, I think I paid about that for the regular store stuff. I
don't really have room in my refrigerator to store flour.

Have you ever been to the KAF store in Vermont?

I've already started stocking up on that stuff as I'm determined to
make my cookie dough soon after TDay and freeze it. Not that it's
a huge chore anymore since I have my lovely Kitchenaid.

I am fortunate to have an extra refrigerator that I can keep some
things in. Looks like I may have about a year's worth of flour now.

No I have not been to KAF. I am not sure it was there or open to the
public when I lived in Mass. (early 60's). But I was not making bread
then.

I don't think I would do much cooking and especially baking if I did
not have my Kitchenaid. I have a number of attachments that I use
frequently.

I have a 5 quart that I have had for years. It is a Hobart. I was
not happy with the 6 quart Whirlpool I bought so I gave it to my son
and went back to my 5 quart. He is still using it I think.

It is, indeed!
My daughter now has the Hobart my mother-in-law gave me, a few years
before my daughter was born.

Sometimes I really wish I had an extra refrigerator, but usually
the one is enough for us.

It's a nice place, we stopped on the way home from the White Mountains
once.

It's a real treat. I don't know why I didn't get it years ago.

I don't really see what the big deal is with it. I have bought it but I
don't find it superior or anything.

You snagged a good bargain and even more so with the
coupon! I'm fortunate that I live in an area where
I can walk into any grocery store and buy Martha White
flour. M.W.has been discussed in the past whenever
King Arthur comes up.

My wife sears by it. She gets a lighter bread and better rise. I do
very little baking so I don't really have a co mparison.

It works better in a bread machine (though Better for Bread is it's
equal there and cheaper here). Bread machines require a consistant
ingredient because of how they operate. Hand made, you can adjust
gluten development. Not so much with atomated rising and mixing times.

For me it's taste. I don't add any salt to my breads, (or any of my food
for that mater) and I think the KA flour has a better taste than the
other super market brands.

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert
Walker Bush (GHWB), the current but ailing patriarch of the Bush Family
Dynasty – I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly
not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather
who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death.
This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.

In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.

Bread needs a little salt to taste good.

Sea salt sprinkled lightly over a baguette is great.

I am neither a native of, nor have I ever been to Tuscany, so I have
absolutely zero interest on how Tuscans like their bread.

Excellent article.

My former neighbor and her sisterboth made the
exact same recipe for sourdough bread. Sister didn't
put salt, or barely any, in her doughand you could
certainly tell it. Very ho-hum bread.

You're sadly mistaken if you think that's news to me.

My understanding had always been that salt regulates the yeast ... simple! I
did know that if I ever forgot the yeast the bread was a failure ... by my
preferences and standards. I do know that saltless breads are preferred by
some too, but not here)

That piece was fascinating. Thanks for posting it.

I confirmed that salt has an effect on gluten development when i made
coccodrillo. The dough (glop) had come together but after a while being
mixed with the K-beater, it started to weaken - you could tell in the
way that the dough threw out "fingers". I then added the salt and it
immediately sprang back.

It's fun to watch that cause and effect stuff happen with bread
dough!

Ahhh but dough is a different 'kettle o' fish'!! Wonderful stuff when
alive I messed up this week. I made some of D's favourite cheese roll.
I didn't knock back the first rise properly and the crumb is too light.
That'll serve me right for being rushed

You should take up cricket then. Pretty much akin to the same thing,
pace wise at least.

I've really taken to stretch and fold during fermentation. I do it 3 times
at 30 minute intervals and it makes a huge difference to the dough.

I have my grandmother's Hobart. I have no idea how old it is but she's
been gone since around 2000 and I'm sure she had it for a long time
before that.
