Thankyou Ma'am. My wife passed just about a year ago and I was promotted to head cook and wana be baker for two children. While my bisquet pucks are getting better I'm still learning about the rest. I am now a subscriber, you and the kind readers have been a great help. God bless.

I have made my own bread flour for years. You save even more if you purchase organic flour. I can find 5 lbs of organic flour for about $6. I also use Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten Flour, which is less expensive and I purchase it at Natural Grocers. You can also make your own cake flour by adding 2 Tablespoons of corn starch to 1 cup all purpose flour. (APF)

My biggest problem is the QUALITY of the commercially available flour. I’m really glad you added the part at the end about the Costco organic unbleached flour. The cheap commercial Sams club/Kroger regular all purpose flour is GMO over processed crap. I did recently buy a grain mill and sourced single mill organic ancient grain hard red wheat, I’ll add the vital gluten to what I mill.

So funny that you sound just like me! I'm tired of buying all these things with a ton of ingrediance and no taste all the while over paying for them. I'm too old for that 🤬I just found this video after finding the best recipe for sandwich bread and using bread flour. And I just bought more bread flour, so it peeked my interest when I saw that I could make it. Thank you 🥰😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘( I'm turning 60, I can do that and be weird! LOL)

I have used this recipe a couple of times now and I will never go back. Thank you so much for sharing this. My sourdough is so much better since doing this. Honestly I will never go back.

I have always added the Gluten to my AP Flour while I'm assembling my bread ingredients. That way I don't have a special "Bread Flour" container. Just AP Flour and Gluten containers. Also I make my own baking powered - 1 part Bicarbonate of Soda and 2 parts Cream of Tartar mixed as I need it. (No Self Rising Flour Containers either)

Just came across your channel; you remind me of my niece I don’t get to see often. You keep it real and that’s how she is. I bake bread and Kolaches a lot. My grandmother was Bohemian and made a lot of Czech pastries, so I have her 150 year old family recipe for bread and I keep it going in my family. Oh well, I enjoy the show.

I’m a make it myself gal. I’ve been like this since childhood. It strengthened when I got older and realized that I want what I want but can’t always find it. I make it myself. Food items, decor, etc. I don’t eat out. I find the recipes for what I/we like and make them myself and they taste better and I can control what I’m ingesting.😁 My health is not good so making things myself has been beneficial. Great video. I appreciate you too. Can’t wait for the next one. Tfs. Have a wonderful day.🤗

Thank you. I bake two loaves a week. I recently switched to King Arthur because it makes better quality bread than Walmart. (It's probably the gluten).
These types of tutorials are great. I also recently watched a video about how to make heavy cream which I'm going to try because half and half is a must for coffee.

[Cynthiav]

Agreed! I buy large amounts of AP flour and bags of WWG for bread making, the only way to go!

I bought a nice bread machine not realizing I need to use bread flour with it. Regular flour never works out for me in the machine, & I hate that. This video was really useful for me. Thanks

The ingredients in bread flour are hard (vs soft) wheat flour, and Malted barley flour. I don’t know how to “malt” the barley flour, but that’s what gives the higher protein & therefore rising power.
I don’t have the space to store all the kinds of flour, so I do use vital gluten flour to assist my whole wheat breads in their rising. The instructions on Bobs Red Mill gluten flour suggest 1 T gluten flour per C of whole wheat flour. So I just add that as I make each batch of bread instead of having it premixed in the flour

I love self rising flour to make pancakes - makes great pancakes.  Pancake recipe so easy:
1 1/4 cups self-rising flour
* 2 tablespoons white sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 1/4 cups water or milk to your desired consistency (I use rice milk)
Add vanilla for best pancakes
Use coconut oil in pan for cooking

OMG. I'm so happy that I found this tutorial. I have a lot of AP flour but this weekend I ran out of Bread flour and was not able to bake because all my recipes ask for bread flour. I have a bag of Vital Wheat Glutten that I got to bake a German Dark Rye Sourdough bread and have no idea how to use the rest. Thanks to you I plan to convert my AP to bread flour. I will be telling you at the end of the week how my bread turned out. Looking forward to make some of your recipes. Thank you so much. Happy Baking!

Thank you! I have my grandmother's whole wheat bread recipe which I've kind of adapted to the bread machine... Grandma just added twice the yeast of a "normal" bread recipe; hers uses an entire 5 lb bag! Sometimes it works, sometimes it comes out like a lead balloon. ha. Besides halving the amounts so it will fit in my bread maker, I use a white whole wheat flour (the tannins in red wheat dislike me a lot-- I get the white whole wheat from a Kroger affiliate out here, but grinding your own works). I will try adding the gluten to the whole wheat and see how that goes. I've never seen whole wheat bread flour in any store I've been to.

Excellent video! We all need to save on groceries these days. Just found your channel- looking forward to binging your content.

[sneaky_hannah]

The cheapest flour at my Walmart is $2.38 for 5lbs I couldn’t find any vital wheat gluten sadly but I just made my own bread today for the first time and it came out It looked and tasted sooo much better than store bread I’m never buying store bread again lol (I might cuz I’m lazy 😅) but it’s so good i made a loaf of bread and I made buns for my cheeseburgers I had for dinner!! But now I need a nap lol that was hard work haha ❤❤❤

I am a new subscriber and I love to bake a lot and learn new recipes. I home can and recently got a vacuum sealer for dried goods. I am presently learning all I can to make things from scratch to save on money and learn how to use fresh grown herbs as well as garden grown veggies to make meals go further and again save money.

I was so jazzed to come across this video today. I was at Sam’s today with my hubby, and had to promise him I would figure a way to make bread flour. I was trying to buy bread flour, but to my dismay they didn’t sell it. They only had the a p flour in bulk. He didn’t want to spend the money on a large quantity of flour. ( he can be very short sighted when it comes to buying in bulk, but when we get down to brass tacks and start figuring out the per oz cost, he will eventually give in. He said I probably wouldn’t find a way to create the bread flour, to which I reminded him that if it’s possible, it’s on the internet. Anyway, back to the beginning. I am sooo glad to have just happened across your channel. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us. See you next time. Kathy in Dallas😓🥴🤑

Great idea. I’ve been using gluten flour in my bread since the 1970’s. I add to single recipes but your idea is great for people who make a lot.
