Gold Medal Harvest King Flour

[sheetz]

I just bought a sack of the new Gold Medal Harvest King bread flour and was wondering if anyone could tell me how this compares to other bread flours like King Arthur.

While we are at it....anybody ever make pasta with it?

The Gold Medal is 11.9% protein and King Arthur Unbleached All Purpose is 11.7%, so I'd expect them to perform about the same.

I've used King Arthur products for many years, but, to tell the truth, as far as I'm concerned all AP flours are about the same.

For thin crust pizza or pasta I'd use part duram/semolina or something like that.

Hi,

The high protein content (and name) is specifically designed to compete with King Arthur.

Not the best for pastry.
