King Arthur Baking Company Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

Best quality flour

This is the best flour to bake with for your baking needs. I use it for pies and cookies and yeast breads when I run out of King Arthur Bread flour. The bread comes out just fine with all purpose flour. Every thing I bake with this product comes out perfectly. Whatever I aim for is achieved whether it be crisp and crunchy, light and airy or soft and tender. This is the flour that does it all with flare. If you bake this is the flour to buy.

king arthur flours have been my go-to for more than two decades now. wasn't at all surprised to read a few years ago that chefs worldwide say it's what they use when in america. it's gmo-free, no bromates, and the company is employee owned! although I do bake the occasional pastry and it's great for cakes, pies, cobblers, what have you, I mostly make bread.the all-purpose flour is my favorite for flatbread (which I eat almost daily) and pizza. the bread flour (in the blue bag) is better for naan. the whole wheat and the white whole wheat and the self-rising are also fantastic (and always on hand). when it's on sale I buy at least a hundred pounds and keep it in the freezer. most of my meals are "fast food." hummus, babaganoush, zaatar, etc., and all of them are scooped with bread. I keep a running bowl of dough in the fridge, made with king arthur flour, flax, chia, and pink salt. this bread is also great as the bun for my garbanzo-oat-veg burgers. bowls of rice, beans, salsa, and avocado are delicious eaten with corn/flour tortillas made with this flour and organic masa. this flour really is all-purpose!knock on wood, I've never seen a recall for king arthur flours. the "purity" of these flours seems standard, but the most important thing when it comes to breads is taste and texture. other flours simply do not compare. I've tried several "artisan" and organic brands but always come back to king arthur...usually mixing those flours with king arthur after trying them on their own and finding them lacking (I'd never throw them away, and they were far more palatable as the 1 in a 4:1 ratio with the king arthur).if you love to bake or want to eat more healthily and cheaply (it takes fewer than five minutes to make a bowl of dough that will last several days, fewer than five minutes to grab a ball from the bowl and roll out one piece, then five minutes to bake in a toaster oven), I cannot recommend this flour highly enough. and though I've always known the company is employee owned, these many years later it still thrills me no end. their products are superlative! long may they prosper...

This is my "go-to" flour for making Challah bread, which I make several times a month. The quality is very consistent, and so is the grind. The size fits perfectly in my storage container, and the product is always fresh. For the quality, you won't get any better value. The protein content accounts for the baking ability as an all-purpose flour.

like the non-gmo and organic nature.

Good flour for baking.

We absolutely loooove King Arthur's All Purpose flour. It's funny we might think flour is just flour...but Oh no! Not every flour brand delivers on quality, taste, texture, etc. Over the years my husband tried many different brands of flour for his, Authentic Deep Fried Jamaican Fried Chicken. Just yummy and delicious! He has given King Arthur's All Purpose Flour a A++. The texture is not too sticky, when used to make dumplins it is firm, and delicious. It also doesn't leave any heavy excess fired dough batter when used to batter any fried delight. My husband also uses it for baking all of his many different types of cakes from, Red Velvet, Carrot Cake, Lemon Cake, Jamaican Rum Cake, etc. Lol...yes the man is also an excellent baker. No, I'm not the baker, but I'm the chef! He always choses, and gives lavish reviews on how moist, and fluffy, King Auther's All Purpose Flour makes his cakes. Which explains why they never last! Please see images!If you care about the quality and taste of what you serve, or just want to a bang for your buck, this is the one. I purchased the 10lbs bag, came as described, bag was also placed in a clear plastic bag. I didn't get too much loose dust, thank God. Look no further very highly recommended as a must have in any pantry/kitchen! Enjoy! Hope that helps!

I gave myself a short research course on all-purpose and other flours because I had no idea why I preferred King Arthur unbleached all-purpose and Gold Medal. I also didn't know why one would buy bleached flours. I learned that "all-purpose" designates a mix of different flours/hardnesses to create a flour between the hardness of bread flour and the softness of pastry flour, hence the "all-purpose" label. Unbleached flour is a little harder than bleached because of the resultant grain texture. I also discovered that King Arthur has a higher protein content (11.7%) than Gold Medal which gives it a stronger (more gluten.) Technically, these two flours should perform differently for me, although I haven't noticed -- yet.I like King Arthur for its fine and even texture, and the way it performs in everyday recipes. I can use it in place of bread flour for a softer but still structured crumb in yeast baked goods. The flavor is always fresh. I would recommend a softer flour like White Lily for tender baked goods like biscuits or pie crusts, although I've still used this blend for those items with good results. This is a basic flour blended to be used in a wide variety of recipes.-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann
