King Arthur Flour, that is. Goodness, I love that company. I don't even remember when I discovered it for myself. It was years and years ago; I know that. I was looking for unbleached flour, and the only kind Kroger sold was King Arthur. I used it for sugar cookies, I think, and I never looked back. I grew up on Gold Medal, but I've been a King Arthur supporter for most of my adult life. In fact, I should start keeping track of time that way -- B.K.A. for "before King Arthur" and A.K.A. for "after."
Why am I talking about this now? Because I needed to look something up on the King Arthur site and realized that it is an extremely usable site, and I love it. Here are my favorite sections:
- Bake with what's in your pantry
Enter your list of ingredients and voila! Recipe options on your screen! - Recipes
Now, this page is just pretty. Fortunately, it's useful, too! - Flour bag recipes
One of the best bread recipes I've ever tried was on the back of a King Arthur Flour bag. I emptied the bag, tore off the recipe, and a few months later, lost it. For the next several months, I looked for the recipe on the back of a bag; it wasn't printed anywhere! Not to worry -- King Arthur Flour posted the recipe in this section of the site!
Happy baking, folks!
