Great River Milling Organic Lily White All Purpose Flour, 25 lb

The flour is amazing. I bake bread in a bread machine and it has never let me down. BUT what’s really important is that the flour is pure. How do I know? I bake for my granddaughter who has severe reactions to all additives and preservatives. Her system is better at detecting additives like bromide than a FDA lab. So we buy this flour by the 25 pound bag. And we’re glad it’s available!

I am a beginner sourdough baker seeking for clean and healthy foods for my family, and this flour is ideal because it tastes nice, price is high but I understand that everything is getting expensive that’s why. Only I am hoping that they will stay true to to what they are selling .

Best flour I have used. It's organic and doesn't have the junk in it that most brands do. The texture is soft and fluffy. I've made cakes and lots of baked goods with it and they have come out fantastic.

I love this flour for everyday use. We go through this in aonth or faster depending on how much baking is done. It keeps better in a container or in the freezer. The flour is white so when you bake a regular loaf of bread it will be white instead of. The only thing I noticed is it takes longer for the gluten structure form.

I’ve been subscribed to this flour for about a year and have been very happy with the quality. The flour has a fine, consistent texture and works well for a variety of everyday baking and cooking needs, including cookies, muffins, biscuits, breads, pizza dough, and pie crusts. I also appreciate that it is organic, which is an important factor for me when choosing ingredients for my family. Having it delivered regularly through a subscription is convenient and saves me from having to remember to reorder a large 25-pound bag. Overall, I’ve had a consistently positive experience with the quality, versatility, and convenience of this flour. It has become a staple in my kitchen, and I plan to continue using it.

Delicious!

Ok, so I did more experimenting and figured out what the problem is. The flour is very dry. I had to increase the amount of water by 25-30% in order for the dough to form properly. Once I did this the flour made fantastic bread. Adjusted my star rating from 1 to 4 because of this. I bought this based on the reviews but I'm so disappointed in this flour. I've tried everything from adjusting the amount of yeast to adding gluten, but nothing changes. The dough doesn't rise very much, the texture is dry and crumbly, the loaves are dense and nearly inedible. The same recipes using King Arthur bread flour are the exact opposite. In fact, with that flour, in many of my recipes I have to reduce the amount of yeast otherwise the dough expands out of my bread machine. The bag says bread flour but I'm wondering if it was packaged incorrectly? I don't get it. I'm stuck with 25 lbs of flour fit for egg wash. An expensive mistake I won't make again. I cannot recommend this flour to anyone, not for bread at least.

When I bought this I thought my this is expensive! But after making our first loaves for dinner tonight, I'm not going back to another flour. The bread is spongy, soft, and oh my it's so good!
