king arthur flour must-haves... I got my latest issue of the King Arthur Flour catalogue this weekend. It is always a great read filled with quality products and tempting recipes. There is something about the impending arrival of autumn that always turns my thoughts to baking. Maybe it's because baking warms that early fall chill that seeps into the house.
I immediately fell in love with the Bakery Boxes (above, $10/set of 4). These would be so handy to use for packaging up biscotti as a hostess gift, or sending a box full of cookies to the teacher. Just add a colorful hangtag and you have a wonderful, classic presentation with little effort.
A must buy with each of my catalogue orders is the Easy-Roll Dough Improver ($9/12oz) and the Italian-Style Flour ($7/3lb). I use the dough improver in each of my pizza dough recipes. It makes the dough so pliable and easy to work with. I also use it in any bread recipe where I need to manipulate the dough a bit, like french bread and hot dog rolls. The Italian flour is also a great addition to your pizza dough recipe. The semolina adds the perfect crisp to the crust. You can also use this flour to toss up a batch of fresh pasta in no time.
With the holiday season fast approaching, these Wooden Loaf Bakers ($16/set of 6) and the Laser Cut Cupcake Papers ($7/set of 12) are going to be perfect partners for the seasonal celebration. I'm definitely ordering the loaf bakers for holiday breads for friends and family.

Happened on your lovely blog while checking out Blogher. Love the look of it! I too, always think of baking in the fall. Living in the South, baking is limited in the summer months because of the heat. Lovely items that you listed here. The wooden bakers are very interesting! I'll be back.
hi there! thanks so kindly for dropping by. up here, in fall comes a lot of baking... it's our way of warming the house without resorting to turning on the heater just yet :)
I try and avoid the KA catalogue, as Dan and I have been dieting. If I could resist I'd bake up a storm to give me a chance to catch up, since he's lost 2x as much as I have in the same amount of time :-(
I'm glad you visited Henbogle, I've been enjoying your blog. I surely wish I had your eye for photos! Lovely....
