I picked up two 5-pound bags of Gold Medal Unbleached AP flour and two 5-pound bags of Gold Medal Better for Bread flour at the local Wal-Mart today. Each was priced at 2 for $4.
If this is a chain-wide sale, you might want to go snag some.

I'm considering setting up a business that provides commericial and hard-to-find flours, e.g., first clear, white rye, high gluten, buckwheat, and other ingredients like malt, seeds and compressed yeast, in smaller quantities that make more sense for hobbyist bakers. In addition, I plan to include a line of low-cost, restaurant-quality equipment == and all at prices well below what King Arthur charges.
Any interest?
There is voluntary recall of Arrowhead Mills Organic Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour Because Of The Possible Presence Of An Undeclared Allergen.
While there does not seem to be immediate *Danger*, with all of the allergies out there, it's good for bakers to take note of this.
I thought I'd start a quick thread listing where to get supplies locally in southern Ontario. Please feel free to comment with your favorite places and I'll add them to this list.

Am looking for some assistance. I make a type of homemade spaetzle, handed down from my grandmother (the recipe lol). While we LOVE the "homemade noodles", they are not quite right for things like alfredo sauce. They seem to be more like mashed potatoes (on which you might put butter, gravy, etc) as opposed to pasta (where you would put red or cheese sauce). I could not even imagine how.....unsound it would taste to put alfredo sauce on these. I have a VERY simple alfredo type sauce that my spouse loves and would enjoy making hm pasta to put it on.
In various bread recipes, whole grain red wheat is called for. If I wanted to substitute white whole wheat, how do I calculate liquids to add. I assume hydration is different for different types of flour.
Before I email the company themselves, does King Arthur sell the non-organic or the organic bread flour in 25 pound bags? I see the all purpose on the website, but no mention of the bread flour.
