Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As an enthusiastic baker with nearly fifty years of experience, I was really eager to compare King Arthur Organic White Bread Flour, which has been my favorite (after beating out Guistos Organic years ago), with Great River Organic Lily Wite Bread Flour. I simultaneously made a baguette from each flour using the standard, simple recipe--2tsp.Red Star regular yeast, 2 cups water, 5 cups bread flour, 2tsp. salt. This made a very slack (moist) dough which looked and handled much the same with each brand of flour. The first photo is after the first rise of 1 1/2 hours (at 76 Fahrenheit), the second photo is after the second rise, the third photo is after shaping, the fourth photo is after the final rising and before slashing. The fifth and sixth photos are after baking. The dough handled much the same with both flours. After baking my family and I preferred the more complex flavor and more robust crumb of the King Arthur, which remains my gold standard. The King Arthur has a 12.7% protein content. The 5 lb bags of King Arthur are easier to manage and store, but they cost more per pound. P.s. Amazon printed only 2 of my photos, so I deleted those of the rising and shaped doughs because they were similar and reposted the final photos which show the different crust and crumb.
