Another way flour makes a difference: When I was first making bread I had already switched to King Arthur flour. My brother shopped for me and brought home a different brand. It was a good brand. Our family had used it for decades. He said he figured I needed the flour. He was right and I figured it really wouldn't make any difference. How wrong I was. Their flour vs your flour (both were bread flours). Taste, texture, everything was way better with KAF. Since then I've always used KAF all purpose and bread flours and never have been disappointed. Love it. I'm 77 and have been making bread since I was 40, continuously for 27 years. Guess that's a pretty good test.
