I have been using this flour now for over a year and I have tried MANY! I have to agree with everyone that says this is the best for sourdough and for pizza, I get consistent and excellent results with this flour. it truly does make the very best sourdough breads I've ever made and also the best pizza dough. Definitely give it a try and you will not be disappointed. I was paying much more for King Arthur brand and I do love that but the cost is half with this flour and the results are even better. I just really hope they NEVER stop selling it at my warehouse.

This is the lowest gluten/protein content bread flour that I have ever found. Literally every other bread flour even the cheapest great value at Walmart has at least 4 g of protein per 30 g serving. This translates to your sourdough loaves, spreading and puddling instead of rising tall as they should with high hydration recipes. This is not a high gluten flour, it in fact, has less gluten than many high-quality all-purpose flours. This is just all purpose flour at a higher price in a pretty bag. It is also disingenuous to market this as a bread flour and not indicate the actual percent protein anywhere on the packaging or the online description. This leads me to believe that it is on the lower end of its possible range perhaps less than 10%. Most bread needs around 12%.

I started using this bread flour as I was about to run out of King Arthur bread flour which has always been my go-to. I noticed when I was scooping it out of the bag and trying to level it that it did not want to level very easily in my measuring cup. I poured it in my sifter and noticed there were clumps. See the attached pictures. They sifted though and I proceeded to make my bread. To be honest I did not notice a difference in the rise or taste of my bread with the King Arthur or the Sam's brand. Just be sure to sift your flour.

I used the previous flour (25 lb red bag) for many years. This flour has a higher moisture content, and does not rise beyond a mediocre amount, no matter the time allowed. The bread also does not rise while it is baking. I have baked several loaves of bread a week for 40 years. There is a problem with this flour.

This is NOT high gluten flour. It is 10% protein which is more like AP flour.

Why did they have yo replace the dakota maid, UNBLEACHED, bread flour with this?!

Great price for making our bread and pizza dough

Big bag of flour for cookies

My second bag of this flour. If you are trying to make bread to be economical- you can’t miss. Along with the bulk active yeast from Sam’s, the cost to make homemade bread goes way down. I bought a small pet food canister to hold the 25 pounds of flour— humidity and bug free. I will continue to purchase these items to make bread. Highly recommend.
