King Arthur Flour Company

I LOVE KING ARTHUR SO MUCH, that they sent me a big box with their brand new cookbook, "King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking", and a 5 pound bag of their new White Whole Wheat Flour, just to try it out and review it for them!

King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking Cookbook

This book is HUGE! It must weigh 5 pounds without the flour! It's full of so many amazing recipes, that I will never run out of ideas of "what to make for bread or dessert!" It has more than 600 pages of step-by-step directions and a spread of full color photos! King Arthur says of their book, "King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking" is a winner! At last! Bake delicious whole grain treats, from tender cookies to flaky piecrusts, high-rising cakes to soft sandwich breads. King Arthur shows you how in this ground-breaking new book."  The book retails for $34.95, a small price to pay for such a professional cookbook!

Just in time for St.Patrick's Day! Check out this recipe for my Healthy Irish Soda Bread. It's made with King Arthur's Unbleached White Whole Wheat Flour. Then, you can come back here and read all about the King Arthur Giveaway!

I've been using King Arthur Flour ever since we opened a bakery, and that was a very long time ago. Back then we'd get huge shipments of 50 pound bags sent from the food distributor. After we sold the bakery a few years ago, I had to learn how to use a 5 pound bag all over again. It just looked so teeny compared to a pallet full of 50 pound bags! We pretty much used the King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour for all our pie crusts, desserts and anything else that called for all-purpose flour.

King Arthur 's Unbleached Bread Flour was used for...you guesed it! Bread! It was awesome too. If you're a bread baker and fight with flat bread, inconsistent results, and well, just plain old bread that you're not happy with, then you HAVE to try their Bread Flour! It makes such a huge difference in your bread. Let's face it, you put so much time into making artisan bread, or even a daily bread. Why settle for bread that doesn't knock your socks off? Try their Bread Flour, you'll see!

We also used their Whole Wheat Flour for a lot of the healthier baked goods. However, I always found myself wishing for a lighter, more recipe-friendly flour. So, you can imagine how happy I am with their Unbleached White Whole Wheat Flour!  I love this stuff! Everything I bake comes out the way it's supposed to, and it makes me feel good about what I'm eating. I bake so much, that a healthier flour that actually works in the desserts, helps immensly.
