I baked bread with generic flour. I used the store’s generic brand instead of Pillsbury’s—-I figured flour was flour, right? When I was low on flour, I sent my son to the store to get more. Imagine my surprise when there WAS a difference. My son had just grabbed the bag that was first as he walked up the aisle. It was Pillsbury’s. I made three loaves of bread, the last loaf, I had run out of the store brand, I used the Pillsbury’s. There IS a difference, Pillsbury’s must have used a different grade of flour, or something. The last loaf was higher,the crust was more brown, and it was definitely more white and softer on the inside. I now use Pillsbury’s flour exclusively.
