Perfect for all your baking needs. It all began in 1866, when C.C. Washburn began operating his first flour mill, which produced far more barrels of flour than area bakers needed, and was nicknamed Washburn's Folly. Fourteen years later, Washburn entered his flour at the first Millers' International Exhibition in Cincinnati, where it took the Gold Medal grand prize, as well as the name of its esteemed award. Today, Gold Medal flour is America's best-selling flour, making Washburn's Folly a success. We still mill our own flour, just as we did over 125 years ago, blending the best premium hard and soft wheats from the heartland. Which makes for the Gold Medal difference and consistency that home bakers have counted on for generations.

Your Kitchen Rules: When to Use it: All purpose means just that - our most versatile flour for any recipe that simply calls for flour. Strong enough to take high-rising yeast breads to new heights. And mellow enough to make your family's favorite pie crust recipe to flaky perfection (even without sifting). Gold Medal All Purpose is made of the stuff you can trust. A blend of pure white hard and soft wheat so every bite looks and tastes its absolute best. Store it: Thousand of years ago, flour was stored in cool, dry caves, but any airtight container or tightly-sealable freezer bag in your kitchen (or fridge or freezer for long-term storage) will do just fine. Just bring to room temperature before using. Measure it: Spoon flour into a dry measuring cup and level off with a knife. No sifting necessary. Substitute it: All-purpose flour can be used in recipes calling for self-rising flour. For each cup of flour in the recipe, add 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cups Per Pound: There are 3-1/3 cups of flour per pound and about 33-1/3 cups per 10-lb bag. Cook before sneaking a taste. Flour is raw please cook fully before enjoying.

Safe Handling Instructions: To prevent illness from naturally occurring bacteria in wheat flour, do not eat or play with raw dough. Wash hands and surfaces after handling.
