America's Best Baking Flour™
Bakers love Artisan Unbleached Bread Flour, the perfect all-purpose flour for all of your bread recipes, from simple homemade bread to sourdough bread. This premium bread flour is milled from U.S.-grown wheat and mixed with malted barley flour, which helps yeast breads rise. The high protein content in bread flour is better than white flour for gluten development, which is especially desirable for chewy baguettes and pizza crusts. #ProTip: to enhance a great bread recipe, bake your bread or pizza on a preheated baking stone for maximum crunch! Use a pizza peel to remove it from oven.
Whether you're baking bread by hand or with a bread machine, this is the flour for you! While AP flour is good for many all-purpose recipes, the protein and gluten of our bread flour make it a strong flour to achieve those delicious, chewy crusts.

Honey Butter Milk Buns
Based on our version of Japanese Milk Bread, these individual buns are prepared using the tangzhong method. A very small mixture of flour, water and milk is pre-cooked into a thick paste and then added to the dough. This method cooks the starches in the flour, which allows for greater absorption of liquid, resulting in an ultra-tender bun. Top the warm buns with a thick glaze of honey butter and sprinkle on sesame seeds and flaky salt to garnish.
Ingredients
Flour Paste/Tangzhong
3 Tbsp Artisan Bread Flour (27 g)
2 Tbsp Water (30 g)
¼ cup Whole Milk (60 g)
Dough
½ cup Whole Milk at 100°F (120 g)
1 Tbsp Active Dry Yeast (10 g)
2 Tbsp Honey (40 g)
2 ¼ cups Artisan Bread Flour (325 g)
1 Egg (50 g)
1 Egg Yolk (20 g)
1 tsp Salt
4 Tbsp unsalted Butter, room temperature (56 g)
Sesame Honey Butter
2 Tbsp unsalted Butter, melted
1 Tbsp Honey
Sesame Seeds and Flaky Salt to garnish
Instructions
To make the tangzhong, combine flour, water, and milk in a small saucepan. Whisk for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until a thick paste forms. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk warm milk, yeast, and honey together and let bloom for 10 minutes while tangzhong cools.
To the bloomed yeast mixture, add the cooled tangzhong, flour, egg and egg yolk. Affix the dough hook attachment and mix on low for 2-3 minutes until very little dry flour is visible. Let the dough relax in the mixer for about 10 minutes.
With the mixer running on low, add salt and butter, one tablespoon at a time, waiting until the butter mostly disappears before adding in the next tablespoon. Increase speed to medium and knead for an additional 5 minutes.
Scrape dough out onto an un-floured surface and shape into a ball. Dough should be bouncy and slightly tacky.
Lightly oil the mixing bowl and return the dough to the bowl. Cover and proof for 1 hour in a warm place.
Prepare a 9 x 9-inch square baking pan with baking spray and parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into nine equal portions. The dough should be bouncy and smooth to the touch but not sticking to your hands.
Pinch the corners of the dough together to form a round shape. Cup your hand around the dough and roll the dough in circles on your work surface, seam side down, to form a moderately tight bun. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
Arrange the buns in the pan. Cover and letproof in a warm place for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F.
Once the buns are proofed, bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a deep, golden brown.
Whisk together the melted butter and honey, and generously brush it onto the warm buns. Garnish with sesame seeds and flaky salt. Let cool before serving.
