How many kinds of flour in your pantry?

I noticed this evening that I had a fair number of different types of flour on hand:

White wholewheat bread flour
White bread flour
All purpose white
Cake flour
Corn meal
Mochiko (rice flour)

Only 6. I'm guessing that the dedicated bakers here would stock many more varieties. (Hi-gluten, barley, spelt ...). How many do YOU have?

Mike, what is it about KA WWW

that you don't like?  Could it be lack of flavor?

Yeah

It's not that it's King Arthur's, it's that it's white whole wheat.  I prefer red wheat.  It works better, it handles better and to me it tastes better.

Flours lurking in my kitchen

At the moment (under control of elves):

Roasted Hazelnut

Walnut

Rye, fine 960

Potato

Spelt, whole, fine

Wheat, whole, bread 700, coarse white, golden semolina, white semolina

Millet, golden

Quinoa, whole

Oat, rolled, flour

10 grain flour

Rice, sticky fine, white fine

Buckwheat flour

Is that 17 or 18? Please know that I have maximum 2 kg of any of these on hand. (I had some barley and had hopps growing in the garden but somehow it disappears. I suspect something is brewing deep under the pine tree roots. My hedge hog has been seen milling around late at night, smiling at slugs and with hiccups.) It's a hot day! I am seriously thinking of a small oven to put outside for baking.

nice loaves!

LindyD,

Those look great!

I had great results with adding gluten to breads, especially to increase spring on spelt breads. Unfortunately, I appear to be allergic to it, or maybe just sensitive, the semantics of allergies elude me...

At any rate, I can't use the stuff, and now have most of a bag sitting in the freezer, mocking me!

Too many to list

I have a lot of the flours listed and plenty of grains for grinding. Imagine my surprise when I was invited to my nieces for a Mother's Day dinner for the family. I said I'd make biscuits when I got there. I had all the dry ingredients mixed and brought the buttermilk so all I needed from her was a little flour to sprinkle on the counter for rolling and cutting. When I asked she said "Flour? I don't have any flour." She's the sweetest most generous girl and I love her but how can she live without flour? I made drop biscuits.        weavershouse

finding flour in the bottom of the freezer

I have a little bit (and sometimes have too much) of many flours; whole wheat (mainly MT) and whites - either all purpose or bread, spelt, oat, rice, semolina, and I found when cleaning out my freezer -- some KA durum I had bought a year ago! So, I made up a half recipe of Hamelman's Semolina (Durum) Bread with a sponge as directed and it turned out wonderful. Rose great, the oven spring was so nice, and the light yellow color was so pretty. Tasted good and the crumb was soft. Anet
