Baking with Organic FlourI had been reading on several sites how great it was to use organic flour for baking bread. They kept suggesting King Arthur flour. I hadn't ever seen this "amazing" flour or heard of it. But apparently I've been living under a rock as it has been around for 200 years or something. So I looked at my local grocery store, but apparently King Arthur isn't sold at the place I frequent. They didn't carry organic flour, but had a natural flour that would have to do. One day I did see some King Arthur flour at a different store, but it was like a 1 pound bag for some ridiculous price...no way was I going to pay that price for so little flour!My husband and I were in a different part of the metro and we went into one of the local coops we hadn't been in before. We were like 2 kids in a candy store. There were all these things we had been looking for, but couldn't find and there they were staring us in the face! Yippee! We were giddy with excitement and our kids looked at us like we were crazy! Seriously, we probably looked crazy getting excited over bags of organic flour, organic bulk popcorn, hulled barley and natural Thai peanut sauce!  I did find King Arthur Organic flour, but then I saw something I hadn't seen before. It was 5 lb. bags of Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached White Flour on sale! Well, I decided I must try it out! So we brought it home and I was inspired to make my ever so dangerous pot pie! Okay, so the recipe comes out of a Betty Crocker Cookbook, but I made it with my own two hands! Not only was it my best pie crust experience, but it was also the best tasting crust I had ever made! It was flaky and yummy and WOW! I am a believer in Organic flour! I had some leftover dough, so I had to make a little dessert too with some frozen berries.  It was incredibly tasty! I did later on use some King Arthur flour when I went to Kansas to visit my parents and it did great too! If you haven't tried out organic flour, I challenge you to try some! Happy Baking! 03:23 - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - comments {0} - post comment |
