What is the best way to store this flour after opening?
Store the bag sealed in a cool, dry pantry, or transfer to an airtight container for longer freshness between bakes.

How long does an opened bag stay fresh?
When stored sealed in a cool, dry place, an opened bag typically stays fresh for several months, which is plenty of time to bake multiple loaves and smaller treats.
What is the difference between bread flour and all-purpose gluten-free flour?
Bread flour is specifically formulated with higher protein and structure builders like xanthan gum to support yeasted recipes that need to rise and hold shape, while all-purpose gluten-free flour is better suited for cookies, cakes, and quick breads that do not require yeast.
