I am currently concentrading on baking rye breads: lots of recipes call for medium rye flour (Hammelman) . I only get whole rye from Hogson mill, dark rye from Red Bob Mills or white reye flour ( which looks like cement). Honeyville sells a 50 lb bag medium rye flour for $57.00. shippment 4.99
50lb is just too much for me since I will b ake much less in winter. Are there any TFLers in the Asheville area which would be interested in sharing . I am in Brevard, NC . Have to be in Asheville once in a while so could deliver.
You can buy Medium Rye flour in a 5 lb bag which is affordable from King Arthur Flour on-line. That is where I buy most of my flour from. The pricing is reasonable and the product is excellent.
It's 3 lb for $3/lb (which is exactly wholesale price times five) + shipping. That bag of flour will cost like a couple of decent steaks.
You must have misscalculated: 50lb for $57.00 , makes 1lb $1.14, which is about your wholesale price.
You don't understand, their price redistributes cost of flour and cost of shipping to make shipping appear less expensive. If you ask for a quote for a 50 lb of rye flour from a bakery supply house it's going to be $27-30.
I just ordered a bag of medium rye from Stan at www.nybakers.com. So that's another source.
Thanks Heidi. I am selling my bread at the farmers market and have several requests for rye bread. I cannot afford to order a couple of bags retail price. But i will check with NYB
thanks isand66. Cannot afford KA retail prices. they only sell 5lb bags :(.I am selling my bread at the farmers market.
