unbleached flour

Experiment to try different types of flour

Forums:

Hi folks, I wanted to share with you a blog post I just wrote up about a little experiment I did few days ago. I wanted to see how the different types of flour influence bread making, so I made tiny loaves out of rye, whole wheat, unbleached all purpose, bleached all purpose, and Wondra flours. You can see the results at http://www.slovakcooking.com/2011/blog/flour-difference/

Thanks!

unbleached all purpose or high gluten - which should I get?

Ingredients

A friend of mine owns a small donut shop and she told me she can get me the unbleached flour which I can't normally find around here in the larger bags. It's around $18 for 50 lbs. I can't afford to buy both the all purpose and the high gluten right now. Mostly what I can find here is bleached. The unbleached is available at a store around 30 miles from here and runs around $3 for 5 lbs. and I don't know how fresh it is.
