Meet the Flours

King Arthur Bread Flour
Our higher-gluten bread flour delivers consistent, dependable results. Your choice of flour makes a very big difference in bread baking — flours with a higher protein content create loftier yeasted breads. King Arthur Bread Flour has 12.7% protein — a whole point higher than other national brands. It strengthens the rise, so your breads are lofty and perfectly textured every time. Use it for all your yeast baking, from artisan bread (including bread machine loaves) to rolls to pizza. Combine it with whole wheat flour to add extra height to dense whole grain baked goods that need a little lift.

King Arthur All-Purpose Flour
Our unbleached all-purpose flour is an essential ingredient for every baker and works in any recipe calling for "flour" or "all-purpose flour," yielding exceptional results. Unbleached and unbromated, this flour is milled to be versatile: strong enough for bread and gentle enough for tender, delicate scones and cakes. Use it in any recipe calling for just plain flour or all-purpose flour – it's a basic pantry ingredient that we've perfected and tested with the strictest specifications in the industry so that you can rely on it for all of your cooking and baking needs. Milled from the finest American wheat, King Arthur flour is prized by chefs, bakeries, and culinary schools around the country for its consistency and performance.

King Arthur Italian-Style
There are many types of Italian flours, so knowing which is the best for your recipe is key. Our Italian-Style Flour makes baked goods that are light, airy, and have a crisp crust — ideal for focaccia, flatbreads, and crackers. While American flour is all about gluten: ready for action and headed for the highest rise, our fine-textured Italian-Style Flour is a little more laid back. It yields the friendliest, gentlest dough to work with: supple, smooth, and easy to shape.

King Arthur 00'
With its crisp and chewy crust, Neapolitan pizza, or pizza Napoletana, is as classic as it gets. Our ‘00’ Pizza Flour makes it possible to bake this authentic Italian delicacy from your own home oven with the perfect blend of 100% American-grown wheat, milled to exacting ‘00’ standards. This means incredibly finely milled, perfect for achieving those quintessential leopard spots (trademark of a good Neapolitan pizza) with your own home oven. Crust is thinner in the middle, with a rim that balloons slightly to give it that all-important crunch. Top with tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, and olive oil for a traditional taste so good you’ll think you’re in Italy!

Janie's Mill Red Fife
Red Fife has deeper, more complex flavors than common hard red winter wheats, and breads made with it bake up moister, with a cohesive crumb. Because Red Fife has high gluten potential, it can be used by itself or mixed with low gluten flours such as rye.
Red Fife wheat’s origin is unknown, but it is believed that Mennonite farmers in Poland grew the wheat that was shipped to David Fife, a Scottish immigrant in Canada, in the mid-1800s. Fife then grew the wheat and shared it with other farmers, calling it Red Fife because of its distinctive color. Red Fife set the baking and milling standards from the 1860s to the turn of the 20th century, and has been placed on the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity’s “Ark of Taste. It is thought to be a relative of Halychanka, a Ukrainian Heritage wheat, prized for its rich flavors and excellent baking qualities.

Janie's Mill All Purpose
We sift our stone-ground, organic All-Purpose Flour, resulting in a uniform, creamy texture, and delectable baked goods. Janie's Mill All-Purpose Flour is perfect for cookies, muffins, pancakes, biscuits, scones, banana bread and other quick breads . . . pretty much anything, as the name suggests! The only thing you may NOT want to use it for is yeasted or sourdough bread — for those, try our bread flours!

Janie's Mill Italian Style
We worked closely with pizza makers (professional and home) to develop this special blend of flavorful organic Turkey Red Wheat and high-protein Hard Red Spring Wheat. Our testers found that this finely-sifted flour (70% extraction, which is as close to 00 as you can get with stone-milling) is perfect for either airy Italian style pizza (with a longer rise time) or crisp New York style pizza (short rise time). And it has the gluten strength needed to support all your favorite toppings!

Janie's Mill High-Protein
Our certified organic High-Protein Bread Flour gives you high-rising breads with open crumb structure, and crisp, crackling crusts. Bakers report good extensibility, and tell us that dough made with Janie's Mill High-Protein Bread Flour holds up well during long fermentations. We stone-mill this flour from organic, Hard Red Spring Wheat, whose bright, clean flavors enhance your rolls, sourdough, yeast, and enriched breads.
