Gold Medal Premium Quality Bread Flour, 5 lb Bag

This is best bread flour I’ve ever used and I’ve tried them all. For whatever reason my bread comes out more round and robust w this flour. The loaves are even prettier when I use this flour versus the other really popular brand that many use. There is something in this flour that just makes the sourdough light and spongey and I recommend this very highly. Just try it once and you will see the difference as well.

I love this flour. I had to order it online because I wasn’t able to find it in my local stop and shop lately. It feeds my sourdough starter very well!

For the most part I bake the breads we eat at home instead of buying store-bought and have more flours in my freezer than I care to admit. I'll get one flour for one type of bread, another for a different bread, one for pizza, etc. So one day I couldn't find my favorite brand of bread flour and was ready to spend too much on an alternative when I stumbled on Gold Medal bread flour when shopping on Amazon and decided to give it a try. I am SO happy I did because for my bread-baking purposes this flour does as nice of a job as my regular brand at a nice little savings too. I like to consistently buy the same brands of flours because I get used to how those flours perform for me, giving me more consistent baking results, which is why I was kind of sad when I couldn't find my regular brand of bread flour anywhere and decided to try this one. I honestly didn't even know that Gold Medal made a bread flour, never saw it in any of my stores, and wasn't sure what to expect before trying it since I've bought flours before that looked like something I would love but I didn't get the results with them that I wanted. With this one I got the results I wanted and am a happy camper, or I guess happy baker, knowing I can get this alternate bread flour quickly when I need it and at a good price too. In fact, I've been using this Gold Medal flour more regularly recently than my "regular" brand, so maybe I have two regulars now. For the types of breads I make for myself and my family, this definitely will become a staple. I don't know how it will do in a sourdough because I haven't made a sourdough with it yet, but for sandwich loaves, rolls, and things like that I think it's definitely worth giving a try. I'm glad I did.

I liked this better than my local " store brand", it seemed to hold less moisture when fresh from the bag.

Use regularly for baking breads. Starter seems fine in feedings. Good value and results.

Use this to make my shokupan loafs. I would definitely recommend it. Always comes out great. And seems to build up protein well when kneading.

I have try to bake bread and make a pizza with all purpose flour and the taste is bitter. I tried bread flour and the taste was different and so much better. I baked a pizza dough and dinner rolls. So grateful as a mom on a budget. We won’t be ordering pizza. I made my son a bacon and pepperoni pizza with mozzarella cheese. He was so happy.

I can not make bread with out flour.

Love this flour!
