| Hello.. My big question of the day! Just wondering if any of you have ever used this flour [Keynote 39 Unbleached Flour] for any home baking? I found it at Costco, comes in a 20 kg. bag and is of course next to the regular Robin Hood 10 kg. AP bleached flour.. I have contacted the maker (Robin Hood) to ask about regular baking with the Keynote flour as it was something unfamiliar to me... Their answer is that the flour is not for home bakers to use.. Its made for regular bakeries only.. Really no other explanation than that and I can't seem to find any info about it on line except that it is a 'strong' flour.. Costwise the keynote flour is $9.99 compared to the all purpose at 12.99 which is half the size.. Oviously the Keynote flour would be much better costwise and its driving me nuts that its supposed to be for bakeries only.. This is what's on the ingredient list of the Keynote flour.. [Keynote 39 unbleached flour] wheat flour, amylase, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, L-Cysteine (hydrochloride) Niacin, iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid. My everyday brand of unbleached flour ingredients.. [Rogers] unbleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid.. On my Rogers brand it recommends using 1 tablespoon natural lemon juice to every 4-5 cups flour which I sometimes do and sometimes don't add. Anyway, that would make up for the ascorbic acid in the keynote flour right? That leaves amylase, L-cysteine and azodicarbonamide as the only other difference in the two of them... But.... Amylase, L-cysteine, and azodicarbonamide are additives in Rogers All purpose 'Bleached' flour which I also have on hand.. So.. all in all, this is has gotten quite confusing and I'm hoping one of you might have some answers.. Thanks... |

| If Robin Hood say it's strong flour then that is for bread baking. It should still have ash etc content on the lower part of the bag/sack, usually just in from where the pleat. qahtan |

| This flour is just a bakery strong flour (bread flour- 13% gluten), i have used it and it performs superbly at making pizzas, baguettes, and french and italian style breads, and no i don't use this for my bakery, i use it at home, and it's such a bargain comparing it to the Robin Hood best for bread flour ($9.99 canadian per 10kg) and at my costco this is only $11.50 for 20 kg, i would recommend it if u like to make bread. |
