I need to know if anyone has the best brand flour and what do you use it for. For example, do you only use KA bread flour for bread or is there another brand you like better for bread. AP flour-which brand do you like? Do you prefer bleached or unbleached? How about whole wheat? Do you buy in 5 lb. bags or do you have a source for larger quantities? Recently, my breads have been very, very coarse instead of soft and fluffy. I am on empty in my flour bins so I'm trying to figure out what to replenish them with. Interestingly, I did make one batch of bread with sourdough starter, cracked wheat, molasses, and it was the fluffiest bread I've made in a while. To make sure it was a good recipe, I immediately made another batch and same thing--yummy fluffy bread. I doubt it is my flour that made the previous coarse bread but I really can't figure this one out.
