I have been lurking for months. It's a great group. But now I have a
question.
I recently bought a KA5ss (325 watts, 5 qt bowl) especially to make bread
(the bread machine didn't handle the rye bread recipes I was anxious to try).
When I mentioned the KA to some friends, someone asked if I would stop using
bread flour. The thought was that bread flour is for bread machines and I
should use regular all-purpose flour in the KA. It doesn't help that the KA
book that came with the machine has bread recipes with all-purpose flour.
But the new KA book recipes are almost word for word the same as recipes in
a much older book I have for an old KA 4c (1977).
In the recent past I made bread in the cuisinart and (infrequently) by hand
and always used bread flour.
Any thoughts about bread flour vs all-purpose flour?
