Well now, let me tell ya somethin’ about this here “unbleached all purpose flour bulk,” ya know, the kind they sell in them big ol’ bags. I ain’t no fancy baker or nothin’, but I’ve been usin’ flour for a good long while, makin’ biscuits and pies and such for my family.
First off, what is this “unbleached” stuff anyway? Well, it’s just flour that ain’t been messed with, see? They ain’t put no chemicals in it to make it all white and pretty. It’s kinda like them apples, you know? The ones with the spots and bruises are usually sweeter than them shiny perfect ones. This unbleached flour, it’s got more of its natural stuff in it, makes your bread a bit heavier, ya know, gives it some body.
Now, why would you wanna buy it in bulk? Well, that’s easy. It’s cheaper! If you’re bakin’ a lot, like I do for all my grandkids and neighbors, it just makes sense. Why pay more for them little bags when you can get a big one for less? It’s like buyin’ potatoes, ain’t it? You buy a whole sack ‘cause it’s cheaper than buyin’ ‘em one at a time.
- It lasts a good long while, if you keep it right.
- You don’t have to run to the store so often.
- And like I said, it saves you a bit of money.
But what do you do with all that flour? Well, you can make just about anything! Breads, of course. The unbleached kind makes a real hearty loaf, somethin’ that sticks to your ribs. You can make cakes too, though they might be a little bit darker, not so bright white like you see in them magazines. But they taste just as good, maybe even better. I make all sorts of things: biscuits, pancakes, even fried dough sometimes, when I’m feelin’ fancy.
Now some folks say this unbleached flour is better for ya. I don’t know about all that. I just know it tastes good and it works for me. I figure if somethin’ ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? And this flour, it ain’t broke. It makes good food, and that’s all that matters.
But listen here, if you’re gonna buy in bulk, make sure you got a place to put it. You don’t want it gettin’ damp or, even worse, them little critters gettin’ to it. I keep mine in a big metal can with a tight lid. Keeps it fresh and keeps the bugs out. You can use them big plastic containers too, if that’s what you got. Just make sure it’s airtight.
Some folks say that unbleached flour makes your baked goods a little different. They say it’s a bit denser, makes things a little heavier. Well, I guess that’s true. But I like it that way. I like a bread that’s got some heft to it, somethin’ you can sink your teeth into. And like I said before, it makes for some real good biscuits. The kind that you can sop up all the gravy with.
And speakin’ of biscuits, let me tell you a little secret. The secret to good biscuits ain’t just the flour. It’s also in how you handle it. You gotta be gentle, see? Don’t overwork the dough. Just mix it till it comes together, then pat it out and cut out your biscuits. And make sure your oven is hot, real hot, so they rise up nice and fluffy.
So there you have it, just a little bit of what I know about this unbleached all purpose flour bulk. It’s good stuff, it’s cheap, and it makes some real fine eatin’. Now go on and bake somethin’ tasty.
