What to order from King Arthur Baking?

I received a nice KAB gift certificate, courtesy of my stepmother. If you’re a regular KAB shopper, what do you look to them for, specifically?

I’m all set for pre-cut parchment sheets and rounds and paper baking molds, and I don’t really have space or need for much more in the way baking pans. (Admittedly, I’ve long kind of wanted the Nordicware charlotte pan, but what I really wish is that they made a smaller one.)

At the moment, I’m contemplating buying more fiori di sicilia and Boyajian citrus oils, and some and boiled cider. And I’m intrigued by this silicone slice-and-bake cookie dough keeper, which sounds like it works well based on reviews.

I also buy their precut parchment.

Some of the things I regularly buy include SAF yeast and Triple Cocoa Powder.

One of the things I use regularly is their liquid measuring cup (the lines haven’t faded like my newer pyrex cup)

Me, personally – I’d love a 50 pound of whole wheat flour.

Neighbor #2 loved my homemade whole wheat bread, Sunshine asks for it from time to time.

But, yes – a 50 pound bag of whole wheat flour!!

I just looked at the website and saw a 50 pound bag of “00” Pizza flour – now I can’t decide which one I want more.

If you order larger amounts of KA flours we often use Webstaurant Store as they tend to be cheaper especially if they have sales. We often use their Special Patent for our breads

Parchment.

Everbake Pan Spray (best baking release spray ever).

Any pans made by USA pan or NordicWare (they carry both). They don’t always have the best price, but a) a gift certificate! and b), KAF is employee owned.

High protein flour.

Golden wheat flour (aka white whole wheat).

Thermapen. We keep the parchment on hand, several packages. Also regularly use Baker’s special dry milk and potato flour in several recipes. I love the stainless steel measuring cups, the kitchen scale, dough rising buckets, instant yeast.

I have some Carr’s Cider Syrup my Mom gave me years ago; love that stuff! So the boiled cider would be one item into my shopping cart.

What about any of their classes? Or a Thermapen One? (Can’t have too many Thermapens!)

Perhaps some herbs/spices you wouldn’t have normally purchased? (Better Cheddar cheese powder, malted milk powder, Ferla spice or Fleur spice, Cranberry-Orange sugar).

Dammit. I shouldn’t have looked. :laughing:

I get the hard copy catalog in the mail. It’s extremely enticing!

Adding their proprietary Harvest Grain seed and grain blend - great for adding into whole-wheat breads.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I ended up going for the Nordicware charlotte pan after all, as well as the slice-and-bake cookie molds, and rounded out my order with boiled cider, fiori di sicilia, Burlap and Barrell sun-dried tomato powder, and Everbake spray (looking forward to using this with my bundt pans). I may still want the Boyajian citrus oils, but I can easily buy those locally.

Here’s the BIG question - did you go over the total GC amount because “OMG, I just have to have this?” :wink:

13

Nope, I used some restraint! After tax and shipping, I owed about $8 over the GC total.

I didn’t know sun-dried tomato powder was a thing. Post back on what you think and how you are using it. I’m intrigued!

I can see it being used to add a deeper tomato flavor to dishes, like maybe in stews or sauces?

I would think more of a sprinkle - on top of some bread before going in the oven maybe. Or perhaps part of a compound butter. In a soup or stew I’m guessing it would get lost; might as well just use some tomato paste. Pure conjecture in any case!

Here’s what Burlap and Barrel says about it:

Our Sun-Dried Tomato Powder is made from a special tomato variety grown across Turkey’s Aegean Sea coastline. Sun-dried tomatoes are a natural source of umami, and this tomato powder adds a bump of rich, umami flavor to any dish. Sauté the powder with aromatics like onions or garlic, use as a garnish on roasted vegetables or add to rubs for grilled meats.

Burlap and Barrel has some online recipes using it. I’ve added it to rubs and spice blends and to soups. Eat Your Books has 29 online recipes that include it (I think non members may be able to see their online recipes).
