I use Odlums Wholemeal flour from Ireland for making Irish brown soda bread - does anyone know who this would compare? Apparently KA makes one too...

Since Great River Organic Pastry Flour is ALL I use for baking, I have to say it is great. I made 2 loaves of Irish soda bread last month using this flour and it was great. The texture of the outer crust was a bit chewier than white flour, but other than that, it turned out great.

Sorry, I am not well versed on flours as I am just learning myself! Using different flours, mixing etc to try for cookies and breads.

Great question, R. Babcock. The company that markets this produce is called "Sassafras". Their website can be found here: http://sassafrasstore.com/shop/homewares/SAS00071-rectangular-superstone-baking-stone I couldn't find a mention of where their products come from. I will try to come up with an answer for you. In the meantime, the cloche has been great to use. If you come across a bread-baking product similar to this made in the US, please pass along that info. Thanks for your question.

I have used this flour in my sponge bread recipe and it turns out very good. A bit heavy but love the taste and texture. You could substitute part white bread flour to make it a bit lighter. I really like this flour.

Buy new flour. Buy the kind recommended, my older Sunbeam calls for bread flour. Honestly you will not believe the difference. I use instant yeast that I get at a warehouse store . Store in a glass jar in refrigerator.

I think bread flour makes it rise better than regular flour. Never used Machine flour. Might be the same as bread flour. You never know until you experiment. The machine works beautifully though. You'll like it.

I have not had much luck with making whole wheat/whole grain breads. I have tried using the recipes in the book that came with it & followed recipe exactly, no luck. I have made homemade breads of all types by hand for years so I am not a novice bread baker. I would try a different machine.

I only use baking powder in my biscuits, not soda. I do need to tell you that Namaste is a far better tasting all-purpose flour. Even better is Pamela's biscuit mix. I am not fond of Bob's Red Mill All Purpose, but it does not have rice flour in it so I can use it for my son.

Yes. This product is imported from Ireland. It's my favorite oatmeal ever. I eat it with a little brown sugar on top; my husband puts a little molasses on his. A friend of mine adds raisins. Eat it how you enjoy it! :-)

The closest I can think of is "rzhanoi" :-). I've made it several times in my bread machine, it always turns out great. Husband approves! :-)

I've had my Nesco breadmaker since Christmas 2013, so that's the age of the manual I have. It has a recipe for Honey Whole Wheat Bread that calls for 3 1/4 cups plus 3TBS whole wheat flour and 3 TBS gluten flour. It does not mention all purpose flour. I'm not a baker so I don't know if the gluten flour is what would be considered all-purpose? I use my machine for mixes such as beer bread, Hawaiian sweet bread, Italian herb, etc. and it makes them to perfection. I did make the Wonderful White Bread from scratch and it was delicious. There are very few recipes in the manual but there is a section on adapting other recipes for the bread machine.

I believe it is the same product. It is a good quality whole wheat flour. I have been using it to bake bread and I have also used it for pancakes. Hope this helps.

I was looking for a sandwich-bread alternative and came to this recipe. The writer recommended this specific brand of coconut flour. http://empoweredsustenance.com/paleo-sandwich-rounds/

I have a WonderMill grain mill and fresh mill Kamut brand wheat as well as a Hard White Spring wheat called "Prairie Gold" Both are marvelous grains for whole wheat flour. I make 100% all the time and works great. PERIOD!! I add 1 Tbs of vital wheat gluten just to make sure, as well as 1/8 tsp of Ascorbic acid (a yeast conditioner). I also use ingredients for Large loafs but set the setting for sandwich and works fine.

I'm not sure about it, this is probably a question that should be asked to Great River directly. In the package there is no mention about the flour being milled to order, nor in the description of the product on amazon, nor in the website of the company, so I really think it is not the case. BUT I've been buying this flour for over a year, it has always arrived in perfect condition, and the bread that I bake weekly with it smells wonderfully and it is always delicious. In my opinion the freshness of this product shouldn't really be a concern, it is expensive but a very good flour!

I bought my bread machine to make ALL my own bread. I could not find a gluten free bread I liked for less than $6 a loaf. I consider it to be a wise choice and a money saver!
