  • Baking sourdough is such a fun pastime for me and using KA flour is a must. It gives the best results in texture and flavor and is high quality. Literally when the product is mostly flour you have to have the best. And KA delivers time and time again. Plus it’s employee owned!

  • We buy a lot of King Arthur Baking Products because they offer really good gluten free mixes. Their gluten free pancake mix is definitely a favorite. We make it with applesauce instead of eggs to keep it vegan and they’re fluffy and delicious.

  • Again, this is another gluten-free option I was pleased with. I found the quality of King Arthur All-Purpose Flour to be very impressive. I also greatly appreciate that they are an employee-owned company, which shows their priorities.

  • I was able to try this product for a low price through a rebate program. The directions are a bit overwhelming and require some work and preparation. It is definitely worth the effort as the bread is really good.

  • Democratizing better quality home baking. My kind of brand. I rely on their gluten free as well as bread flours but a big win was their sourdough starter which we’ve had alive for two years now, it produces excellent bread!

  • I love using King Authur bread flour when I make sourdough bread loaves, the high protein content gives it a great rise and I love that it is unbleached. I wish I could find it in more stores like Walmart but I make sure to stock up whenever I find it in Target.

  • I originally purchased the sourdough starter gift set with the special jar as a present, but it ended up being the gateway to discovering everything King Arthur Baking Company has to offer. Beyond the high-quality products, what really impressed me is the sheer amount of accessible, well-written content and resources they provide, without any paywalls. From recipes to troubleshooting guides and technique videos, it feels like they genuinely want people to succeed and enjoy baking. It’s a rare kind of generosity in the world of food brands, and it’s made me a loyal fan.

  • King Arthur is one of the best flour blends that can be easily found in grocery stores. I usually use the flour for making bread from scratch. Recently, I discovered the bread mixes at Target. The garlic bread mix is particularly good - simple to follow instructions and comes out well.

  • Best flour out there! Love baking with their flours and their whole wheat flours. I love that it’s natural and doesn’t have any crap in it. I also love that it doesn’t have GMOs. Very affordable for what you get

  • I love using King Arthur flours. They are my go-to company to purchase flour from, as their products are very high quality. I also like that they offer a wide range and variety of products. They are pretty affordable, considering the high product quality.

  • We love their gluten free mixes. Specifically their pancake mix is super fluffy. We make them dairy free with oat milk and they come out super tasty. Also tried their brownie mix, pizza and 1:1 flour mix for banana bread.

  • King Arthur Baking Company is a fantastic online resource for any kind of baking you want to do. Not only do they sell a variety of flours and baking condiments (e.g. cocoa, vanilla extract, cinnamon, etc.), as well as baking pans for a variety of tasks, they also have very good recipes and instruction for all kinds of breads, cakes, cookies, and more, in an easily searched online repository. The King Arthur Baking Company monthly catalog always contains a couple of recipes that are better than you find in most cookbooks, and we save them just as we do magazines.

  • The pretzel bite mix kit was a fun and straightforward baking experience. The kit includes most ingredients you need and the instructions are easy to follow. The bites baked up with a nice golden color and a chewy texture, reminiscent of soft pretzels. While they were tasty on their own, I found they paired exceptionally well with a beer cheese dip. It is a very convenient option for homemade snack or appetizer.

  • I always use King Arthur bread flour for my infamous yeast rolls. Always a hit at the holidays.

  • Can not express how superior this brand is when it comes to making flour for baking. My family used to use another flour but when my mom learned that the secret ingredient to her close friends pizza dough recipe was not the recipe itself but the flour she used, she switched brands and never looked back.

  • King Arthur Baking Co. is a game changer for home bakers! Their products are top-notch, with consistent quality and incredible results every time. From flour to mixes, everything is made with care and precision. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, their ingredients make baking a breeze. Highly recommend!

  • Really great variety of flours and mixes, very good quality flour and would be appreciated as a gift for anyone who likes baking!

  • I was able to try the pancake mix and the first thing I noticed is how easy and well laid out the instructions were to follow. I also loved that the product when made was very high quality. It is also something that my kids can easily help me make .

  • i am obsessed their flours and baking mixes are so good and always reliable
