King Arthur Special Patent Flour: What It Is and Who It Is For

King Arthur Special Patent Flour is a 12.7% protein spring wheat bread flour sold in 50 lb bags, with a 5 lb bag for smaller kitchens. It is the everyday bread flour for bakeries, pizzerias, bagel shops and restaurants that want consistent rise and oven spring without going to a full high-gluten flour.

How Bakers Use It

Use it for hearth loaves, sandwich and pan breads, dinner rolls, burger buns, pretzels and yeasted breakfast pastries. The 0.50% ash short patent milling gives a clean, white crumb, and the malted, enriched formula ferments predictably in both straight doughs and preferments. It also works for New York style pizza when you want more chew than all-purpose flour gives.

Pairs Well With

Step up to King Arthur Sir Lancelot high-gluten flour for bagels and chewy crusts, or down to King Arthur Galahad artisan flour for Neapolitan pizza and ciabatta. Keep SAF Gold instant yeast on hand for enriched doughs. See every bag in our King Arthur flour collection and the full flour collection.

This is a JN Kidds warehouse item: it ships nationwide from our Brockton, MA warehouse, with free local delivery on qualifying orders across Eastern Massachusetts and New England. See all warehouse items.

King Arthur's Special Patent is the only flour I use for my sourdough loaves. It has high protein and tastes great.
