After reading that January 4 great testimonial to North Dakota Mills, I
went to the site and ordered 10 lbs of bread flour.
The texture, color, aroma are superb. When did you last read about a flour
that smelled good?!?! I decided to do a controlled test with my basic
challah 6 1/2 - 7 cup recipe mixed in my Kitchenaid.
Okay, purists, I know there is no such thing as "controlled" at home
because I have no control over kitchen heat or humidity or even the heat
and humidity of my hands.
It was wonderful to work with, almost alive! The oven spring made me glad I
opted for the larger pan. But the real test came when I took a half loaf to
a neighbor to "test". (She's my "lab animal.")
Four minutes later, she phoned to say, "You don't eat that bread WITH
anything. It has to be savored all by itself!"
The big surprise is the price. It is $2.00 for 10 lbs! Even with shipping
from ND to Ohio, the total bill was only $7.70. Service was fast. I ordered
1/05 and it was at my home 1/11.
Customer service is as good as the product. I called with a question and it
was answered quickly and pleasantly. By the way, they make other products,too.
My apologies for "going on and on" but it is nice to find something of
quality today.
And my thanks to William Waller for good advice!
