We buy flour, we make bread in a bread machine. Even hauled it to the beach last month.
We don’t ever keep more than one of those 4lbs bags. Cause the chit start getting beetles and moths eventually after a few months. We keep it in the freezer.
Im all the time flopping pork loin in it and skillet frying them.
Mother in law makes homemade biscuits every couple of days.
Guess we’re KOOKS. Do you use regular flour to make bread in that bread machine? Years ago the family got a bread maker for a gift but it called for special flour so it rarely got used. Was kind of a waste. The "special" flour is not that hard to find. It's usually labeled "bread flour". One can use the All Purpose type (we have) , but it works better if you add some gluten too it. Unfortunately, even the bread flour has been hard to find at times. "fugginChinese, fugginupeverything" I used to use bread flour. Now just use AP flour like for all other baking. It works fine. IIRC, bread flour is ground a little finer. Easy to sub. A few weeks ago, AP flour, whole wheat flour, corn meal, even cake flour! were out of stock. Closer to normal now. Damn rookie bakers! Geno - what came out of the Bundt pan? Also, remember “the people’s car”? Volks vagen! Don't remember. Something tasty the wife made. Since she's retired (over a year now) she's gotten the baking habit more than she used to. Has time to watch Cupcake Wars, the Great British Bakeoff, and all sorts of other things on TV to get ideas. Bread flour is higher in protein (gluten) than AP flour, which is higher than cake flour. AP is a compromise. Unless they've changed things since I worked in that industry (late 80's). Don't try making batches of hamburger buns (500 dozen at a time) with cake flour.............it don't fuggin work well. One place I worked at bought flour by they train car load. Piped from there into our silos. Then to the mixers. Someone along the line screwed up somehow, we got a traincar load of cake flour. I was new, like brand new, and new something was wrong. Foreman said try to run the dough through the machine. What a friggen mess. Eventually, after a whole shift of having the mixers try to add dough conditioners, other flour, etc they eventually decided they had to toss the whole load, empty the silos, and use the next car in line after testing it to make sure it was bread flour. It pains me to type this, but Travis was right. You are verbose. ‘Course he don’t use no fancy words! Just ask your boss what is in that picture!

Might even be one from last year. Sorry bout the story. I just got to thinking about the different flours and remembered what a pain in the azz it was for a newbie baker trying to deal with that screw up. Be like a new mechanic at the shop filling fuel tanks with gasoline because some Homer truck driver filled the tanks wrong. "Hey boss, what's wrong? I can't get any of these trucks to run right."

Ever wonder why there’s so much obesity in the world’s indigenous population? Call it frybread, Damper, etc... it’s all the same schit. Fried flour. Damper aint fried.

If you're going to comment, not once, but twice, but can't add anything to the thread, STFU !

Dr Jeff, maybe the workers in the flour making plants arent considered essential workers and they make more money staying at home?

Plenty of flour and sugar around here.For some reason yeast is like gold and about as hard to find. Check Wood-Mart for yeast if you need it.

Dems in the House want to extented the Fed $600/wk through to January. Imagine everyone on the dole for 9 months. You'd never get 80%+ off the dole.

Dad said that when he was growing up they rarely had all the flour they needed. I asked him where they got it.
He said they raised wheat, when it dried they laid bed sheets on the ground, cut the wheat & laid it on the sheets so as to not loose so many kernels. Then bundled the sheets & loaded them on to a horse drawn wagon.
Then they would haul the wheat to the largest farm in the area as that would be where the guy that owned a threshing machine would park it. The threshing charge would be a portion of the wheat.
Good gosh dad! where did ya get your flour? I'm gettin to that, he said. Then we took our wheat to the miller to be ground into flour. The milling charge would be a portion of our flour. A really good year would be when we had anything left over to bake with for a year.. A great year would be when we had enough flour left to trade for some sugar.
Like so many, after the war he moved to town & had no notions of going back to the farm. He always said he could go back if he had to & could make it. But would just as soon not have to.
I thought, no chit.
New, lard cans with good lids are a great way to store grains & such. The lids can be sealed if need be with wide tape. Or, check out Gamma lids for 5 gallon plastic buckets.

We do a lot of baking, bread, cinnamon rolls, cakes, peach cobblers, our own pankcakes, etc. So we have 3 20 lb sacks of flour on hand plus we have a few buckets of wheat that we can grind. I make sourdough quite often, haven some going right now. One of my hobbies is taking fresh bread or cinnamon rolls to the hospital, sheriff's office, bank, newspaper office, courthouse, grocery store clerks, neighbors, etc. Fun thing to do since they are working folks & I'm retired.

Sounds like a plan to get some govt inspired starvation going.  Maybe that dumbassed Texas drug store cowboy had a clue after all.  Of course, govt would step in to help the chosen ones out.

This is how they install “ minimum income” that has become a democrat talking point.
There will only be one way to pay for it.

Sorry Marge, but your reading comprehension, you know, the ability to read & understand the written word, is below grade school level.
