LOUR AND HUMIDITY:

Did you know that since flour picks up and loses moisture over
a period of time, humidity will affect the use of flour in
recipes? When making a recipe, you may need to use less or
more flour, but do not change the liquid measurement in the
recipe. Yeast bread recipes will often indicate a range of
flour (like 3 1/2 to 4 cups). Start with the lower measurement
and add more gradually as needed.

You should store all flours in airtight canisters in a cool,
dry place. All-purpose flours should be used within 15 months.
