I’ve been baking for, um, let’s say a long time and leave it at that, shall we? And in all this time, I have never found a particular brand of flour that I raved about. Until I tried out Wheat Montana Bronze Chief and vowed to never, ever buy inferior flour again. (Sorry, King Arthur whole wheat. You are servicable but you never sent me to carb heaven.)
Why I love this flour; first of all, it comes in big bags. I don’t know why most stores don’t carry whole wheat flour in anything bigger than a five pound bag, but if you bake for a family, you go through that fast and it’s inconvenient. This comes in 10 and 50 lb bags along with the typical 5 lb size.
Second, the texture. It’s fine and dense and you can see and feel the difference in the grinding process. Anything I bake with this flour is lighter than you would believe a whole wheat flour could produce. Fluffy waffles and muffins, perfect cookies, great pizza crust. This flour performs.
Third, the flavor is wonderful. Chemical free, GMO free, and you can taste the difference.
So if you’re looking for a whole-grain, organic flour you can rave about, give this a try. But be warned, it will ruin you for anything less, and you might swoon over your next loaf of bread.
Sounds like a great product. Wish you lived closer so you could teach me to make bread…or I could at least come to your place to sample some. 🙂
NJ, you must visit! Bread is truly easy. The key is to have a warm spot for it to rise, and use fresh yeast. And it makes a huge difference to use a flour like this.
Fortunately, the effort to make it offsets the calories from sampling. *g*
I’ve actually been thinking about making cooking how-to’s a regular blog feature. Right now is a good time for people to learn; you can save so much money cooking at home, and improve your health at the same time.
Ooh, Can I come too? *g* I’ve got some killer recipes for chocolate cakes, brownies, cookies…
We could share recipes. 🙂
Absolutely. First food feature will post in the a.m.
