Hodgson Mill Unbleached & Unenriched Cake Flour, 16 Ounce (Pack of 6) Wholesome Baking and Cooking Ingredients for Home Cooks and Healthy Recipes

This is a great value through Amazon's Subscribe & Save service and the quality of the flour is excellent. Even though it is not organic, it IS guaranteed to be GMO-free and it does not contain bromide/bromate/bromine--a huge plus for the health-conscious consumer. Bromide is usually added to processed flours today & it's rather difficult to find flours without it. This is one of the very few I've found & I'm glad to have it. Bromide is a halogen that can negatively affect your thyroid function (i.e. your metabolism and general health--it competes with iodine for uptake by the thyroid--check Google), so it's important to avoid it where you can.This flour contains some extra gluten, which gives bread its unique structure; this is an excellent flour and makes terrific Bread Machine Bread, right out of the package. I do add an extra tablespoon of gluten to my recipe, simply because my hubby prefers a bread with body & the extra gluten seems to make it stay fresher just a little longer, but it isn't necessary. This bread flour performs great on its own. A+!P.S. This does come in small, 2 pound packages, which is convenient. I get a little more than two (1.5 pound loaves) of bread from each package. I store the unopened packages in the freezer, just to keep the flour fresher longer.

Second time around for ordering this. Purpose, Buckwheat Pancakes. Love them. I have looked in a lot of places, so for this is the best price. The product is excellent.Buckwheat Pancakes.....2 lbs Buckwheat [1 bag, 7 1/2 cups]2 cups unbleached white [Can use wheat if you wish]1 cup Oat flour8 teaspoon Baking powder4 teaspoon Baking soda2 teaspoon salt [optional]Mix the ingredients well---------------------------------1 cup of mix = 4-5 large pancakesTo that add3 Tablespoons Buttermilk power2 eggswater to your desired consistencyafter mixing let sit for 10 or so minutes before cookingTruly a taste treat.

I don't mind this flour. I was *much* happier when the Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached White was my Subscribe and Save bread flour. I looked at the cost of both, and with my 15% S&S discount versus the cost of buying Bob's without the S&S discount (since it was removed from the program) and the price was within $.01 per pound. So now I buy both. I'm not a fan of bread machines. I use a Bosch Kitchen Machine for mixing dough. The quality of the resulting product is outstanding.

Buyer beware, these are SMALL bags of bread flour.NOT the bags you buy in the market.Typical bag of bread flour is 5 lb. these are 2 lb. picture is deceiving.

I thought I was buying one bag and I get this box full. and I thought I was buying flour to make bread in a bread machine not by hand

Been using this flour with Hodgson's whole wheat flour for bread machine for a couple years, the bread has been good; I'd give it 4 stars. The most recent batch of 6-pack I re-ordered last month was infested with black, tiny insects inside though. To the merchant's credit they sent me replacement in one week, they also refunded my friend right after her request. The replacement flour I received was in similar packaging design but changed to white color rather than brownish yellow color. The most important thing is the newly replaced flour smells fresher than my last couple 6-pack batches, the breads made by my machine look and taste normal. Five stars for flour and merchant service, 0 star for seeing many black insects crawling inside and out of flour packaging, averages to 3 stars.

I found this item while checking out Amazon as an alternate source for items I couldn't find at our local market. I'm already a big fan of products from Hodgon Mill and Bob's Red Mill. I bake all our bread using a bread machine. Armed with "The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook" by Beth Hensperger (Amazon) and a quality bread machine, I'm able to produce what my growing family needs without consuming all my time in the kitchen (like my mother did). I bought a case of this bread flour and have used four packages. Every loaf has come out perfect! Not being a professional baker, it's hard to review and compare this flour to other brands. Suffice to say we like the texture and consistency of bread made from this flour more than from "leading brand" flours.

I had not used Buckwheat flour for a long time and I am glad that I tried it again. This product is very fine and produces really great hot cakes and biscuits. I will be trying it as an additive to my multi grain bread recipe and I am sure that it will improve the texture of my bread. I can only vaguely remember using this type of product but my recall says that it was course and had a strong flavor. This product how ever is very smooth and has a delicious nutty flavor. I will buy this product again.
