We've checked Loblaws at Queens Quay and the No Frills at Sherbourne, but no luck at either. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help! Thu Mar 09 15:41:29 -0800 2006 0 Juniper 1 571207 Since the flour in King Arthur Flour probably comes from the superior Canadian wheat, try it with Canadian bread flour. Personally, I don't believe there is much difference in flours, but my mother, a real baker, always used five roses--I don't know if they make bread flour. It seems to me, we get pretty good bread in this town, so bake with canadian flour and see how it comes out. If you still want King Arthur, try their web site or take a drive down the QEW to Niagara Falls. I'm pretty sure they don't have a distributor in Ontario. Their email address is bakers@kingarthurflour.com Thu Mar 09 16:22:14 -0800 2006 571203 0 fai jay (fai jackson) 2 571251 Ah, King Arthur Flour...a reminder of days in the states. Sadly, KAF is not available in Ontario...I've spent a long time looking. Employee owned, meant for artisan baking, and unwavering in quality, KAF is unmatched...sadly...by anything I've ever been able to purchase in Canada. It is something to purchase just before crossing the border. I opened this thread in hopes (faint) that somebody had found this amazing product in TO.

They are located just north of London, but will deliver to southern Ontario. I don't know how it compares to KAF since I've never used it. Definitely doesn't taste like Red Roses or Robin Hood flour. My other suggestion is that if you like a particular bakery, they might sell you their bread flour since they buy in such big bags and in bulk.

Often for better texture, I sift more than once....Bon Chance and hello from across the pond!!!! Sun Mar 12 09:30:42 -0800 2006 571207 0 Susan 3 571330 Well how you doing sis? Of course, with your superior baking skills I defer to your experience. See you soon.

So if you have a US recipe that calls for "hard flour" or "bread flour" you can just go ahead and use regular all purpose flour from the grocery store. There is some possibility they might sell King Arthur at Whole Foods, you will not find it at a regular grocery store but there's really no need to seek it out. On the other hand if you are making something that specifically needs "soft" flour, southern style bisquits, for example then you need to go south of the border to get that. Regular USAian all purpose flour is soft enough but if you really want to do it up right seek out the Dixie Lily brand. "soft" and "hard" in terms of flour refer to the gluten content of the flour.

May want to phone to verify that they still carry it. Fri Mar 10 16:34:01 -0800 2006 571203 0 M. Beaux-Eaux 1 571591 King arthur Flour and Pillsbury flour are not sold in Canada. you can occasionally find both labels imported by Indian grocery stores.
