Great Value All-Purpose Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour, 25 lb Bag

I use this flour for focaccia, loaf‑pan bread, artisan bread, and other baked goods, and it works well for anything that's baked in the oven. However, if you're making flatbreads or anything cooked directly on a pan, I would avoid it. The flavor comes out very dry and dull. I usually let this flour ferment with yeast overnight. Anywhere from 6 hours to 2–3 days, and without that long fermentation, the taste is very plain. For flatbreads, I prefer King Arthur, which gives a much better flavor and texture. In my experience, this Great Value flour just isn't great for stovetop cooking, but it's fine for standard baked breads.

As a hobbyist baker who spends an inordinate amount of money on ingredients each month, this has become one of my easiest choices to make. This is a great workhorse flour at a fantastic price, and after buying many hundreds of lbs of this flour, I can truly attest to consistency across the product insofar as quality. My only small qualm is the thickness of the packaging, given that it tends to split on moving, and this leads to unnecessary waste, cleanup and frustration. Given that this flour is offered in a 25lb bag size, maybe some additional consideration should be given to its packaging.

Flour is very versatile you can use for cakes, gravy's, sauces, thickeners, bread, tortillas, pastries just about anything that you can think of. I like everything about flour.

Great Value flour seems to do the job just as well as the name brands. I haven't noticed any difference in my baking using this brand, compared any other flour brand. .Buying the 25 lb bag is mainly a convenience thing so I don't have to keep running back to the store. The price is definitely lower when you buy it in bulk, which is nice for the wallet.

WE use this for our Homemade bread, gravy, cinnamon buns, shoo fly pie and soon at Christmas it will be for gingerbread cookies. I buy the largest bag and store it in a 5 gallon food grade pail. It serves us well as we live in the Country and do not want to be out of basics.

I like the value I get when I buy in bulk. My one tiny issue would be since this is clearly not a single serving sized product, maybe consider offering this product with a resealable opening. Drawstrings, Velcro, Ziplock style. I don't really care which, but being able to reseal it so that it retains it's freshness would be useful.

This is all purpose sifted flour. You can use it for most all your baking. At this present price and 25 pound bags, the cost is $0.33 cents per pound. I'm not sure if you could find it at any lower cost than this unless you go out and thrash it yourself. I use it for most all my baking. I make yeast rolls, biscuits, breads, pizza crusts, pie crusts, cakes, cookies, and more, all using this flour. I store it in huge jars with good seals. I don't put it in the fridge nor the freezer. As stated, I store it in huge glass jars and I have never seen any bugs or critters in this flour. It's not like it will last you years. If you're frequently baking something, it will probably last you three or six months. If you rarely use flour, then I wouldn't suggest buying this size bag. You can easily do the math. On average for all purpose flour, 4 cups = 1 pound. The expiration date on the recent bag I purchased, is approximately one year from my date of purchase. Therefore, you can do your math on how many cups of flour you generally use per week and how long it would take you to use up 25 pounds of flour.

Cooks great breads, focaccia, rolls, cakes, cookies and brownies. Can't beat the price - even at BJs Love having bulk flour delivered to my little apartment in Manhattan with free delivery for purchases over $45. Thank you Walmart. Saves me lugging it up 5 floors and on the subway without a car. Love it! BTW, what doesn't fit in the current canister, goes into ziplock bags in the freezer - no infestations and doesn't affect the taste.

I am avid walmart shopper I decided to buy this item online because I am unable to get to a store in person but it was shipped with other items and improperly packed and the entire package and its contents were punctured and fell apart by the time it was delivered. Very poor and disappointing packing for shipment but otherwise a good product for the value.

The flour itself is fine. However, I absolutely do not recommend purchasing this for delivery. The 25lb. bag of flour arrived in the original brown sack. As a result, the flour was exposed to whatever because the rolled top of the bag is ripped from the remaining bag. The bag suffered holes because of the ripped top. A plastic bag would be sufficient.
