This flour is all-purpose because it is suitable for all types of baking. It is a blend of select hard and soft wheat, which gives it an all-purpose quality. Bleaching agents are used in small amounts to whiten the flour.
For best results, use recipes developed for all-purpose flour. If necessary to use all-purpose flour in recipes calling for self-rising, add 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt for each cup of flour.
Gold Medal All-Purpose Bleached flour is sold in 2, 5, 10 and 25-pound bags.

Harvest King absorbs greater quantities of water and has a more elastic dough-handling quality than all-purpose flour. It contains a small amount of ascorbic acid to improve dough handling and produce better volume and crumb structure in bread. This flour is excellent for yeast bread baking and other yeast-raised baked goods such as pan breads, rolls, buns, pizza crust and hearth bread. Harvest King is ideal for automatic bread machines. It is also suitable for quick breads and cookies. It is least suitable for delicate baking, such as cakes and pastries.
