| The King Arthur Flour Baker's Store in Norwich, VT |
I am lucky enough to live in the same state as their bakery store. Sadly, two hours away, but... it's worth a day trip.
 |
| Last year's visit |
 |
| This year's visit - and my beloved pain de mie pan. |
I've visited them twice now (once last summer, once this summer), and each time I have been left with a sense of baking joy.
 |
| Flavoring oils and extracts... I dream of these... |
 |
| Oh my. |
 |
| Mixes galore. |
They have a great online store, which I have also ordered from a couple of times.
I love their flours, of course, and their specialty ingredients - the Vermont Cheese Powder! The Maple and Cinnamon Flav-r-Bites!
And don't get me started on their gadgets and bakeware... including my new favorite, the pain de mie breadpan...
On top of it all, they have incredible resources on their website which really set them apart from other companies. Need help with something? Try the Baker's Hotline! Want to peruse some truly awesome recipes? They have them in spades.
Why do I wax poetic? Well...
They are offering a $25 gift card to one of my readers.
All you have to do is go to their website and tell me what you would get with your gift card, should you win. One lucky reader, chosen at random, will win a $25 gift card to the King Arthur Flour Baker's Store. That's it.
As always, I need a way to contact you. Anonymous commenters, with no contact information, cannot win. If I can't contact you, I can't get your information to King Arthur Flour, and you can't get your prize. Simple as that.
One comment per person, please.
I will choose a winner, using Random.org, on Wednesday, September 15th, at 6 PM ish, EST.

ReplyDeleteI'd get $25 worth of Chocolate in its various forms!
ReplyDeleteI would get some of their gluten free mixws and some GF flour...maybe some vanilla extract. Yummy!

Either the pie crust lattice cutter, or a really good dough scraper, or some funky cookie cutters, or...

As a longtime KA online shopper and catalog devourer, I've actually had my eye on the pain de mie pan for some time...just trying to get my bread making skills up to par before I treat myself to one!
ReplyDeleteI would use it towards the pain de mie pan. I've been dying to make this cute panda face bread to come out right I need that pan! :D
ReplyDeleteI would seriously buy $25 worth of bread flour. We make our own bread and their flour is so much better than any other kind, but it's expensive!!
ReplyDeleteI would buy whole wheat pastry flour. It is so easy to sneak in all of my baked goods without anyone noticing. ;) mhelmer2@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would buy the pizza dough flavor and some of the cool cookie cutters. Or maybe a cookbook? I want everything, lol.

Great giveaway, Astrid!! :D
ReplyDeleteHmm. You've had me pining away for that pan de mie pan since you first posted it, but after looking at the online store the Covered Baker is now calling my name!
anotherlunch@gmail.com Thanks!!! :)
I love King Arthur Flour! If I won the gift certificate, I'd use it to buy some of their gluten-free mixes. I just tried the gluten-free pancakes last night and my family loved them!
ReplyDeletetmpalin@hotmail.com
Well, maybe one of everything.......
ReplyDeletetscmc2004@yahoo.com
I would get the large and mini silicone pans!
ReplyDeleteI love all things King Arthur Flour so I'm not even sure what I'd get. The flavor bits sound yummy and they definitely have a few pans I'm interested in. And I'd have to get some flour too!!

I would go for some cinnamon flavor bits for scones or oatmeal cookies! YUM!!

You've got me wanting a Pain de mie pan!
ReplyDeleteI feel like a kid with a toy catalog in one hand and my letter to Santa in the other!!! I have it down to Want, Need, Oh that too please!!:
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the dutch oven, and the timers, and thermometers ...awesome...need, need, mills and grinders, bake ware especially
cookie sheets, tart pans, fluted pie tins.. and then and then and then all the flavorings, the powered cheese and thousand little gadgets....sigh...my greed knows no bounds!!!!! make me win!!!!
Oh, my. I just spent an hour on that site and could easily spend another hour. I must have the swirl cupcake papers, both mini and regular sized, for the kiddos. And, the lava cake set...oh, the happiness that would bring the hubby. And for myself, the dutch oven. OK, I know I spent waaaay over $25, but making a wish list is just too much fun! Astrid, now I see why you talk about this place all the time! I didn't realize all the things I *need* until I looked at that site!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I can't decide. What would I get? I would definitely get some Vermont Cheese powder for my stove top popcorn. Then maybe stock up on some organic flours.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a cool trip! I have put a link to your Giveaway on Bento Box Blog
ReplyDeleteKAF is my FAVORITE store!!! And I live just 5 minutes away so I shop there often! On my list is a tart pan and scone mixes (soo yummy!). Always need flour too. And perhaps some bread mix-ins, like the 7-grain or something. Yum!

ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your Pain de mie, it looks so lovely, that texture seems to be just right for the perfect sandwich. I have never in my life tried Pain de mie,with that pan I would be sure to get some!! Love it!
I love KAF so much that I've debated making a weekend road trip (from CT).
ReplyDeleteI'd choose the couche - and with the leftovers I'd buy tulip papers!
I would buy their King Arthur 100% Organic White Whole Wheat Flour, so I could try their pain de mie recipe with your rainbow twist (it looks divine). I would love to purchase their Almond Flour (because I've never splurged for it on my own, but eyed it for quite some time). Also, their Organic Flax Flour would be on my list, because my husband has high cholesterol, and I sneak flax in whenever I can. Lastly, I would get their Unbleached Cake Flour Blend, because I'm a cake enthusiast. I've never tried King Arthur products, so this would be a great way to do so!! I just ordered their catalog because of your website.
ReplyDeleteI would put the gift certificate towards the Thermapen digital thermometer. I have been wanting one forever!
ReplyDeleteThanks,

I would have to order the Gluten Free Bread Mix and the Gluten Free Muffin Mix. I didn't know they offered either one! Thanks so much for the chance to enter!
ReplyDeletemommastaci33 at yahoo dot com
I would get some for the flavor bites, they sound fun in muffins and such! Maybe some cool cutters too.
ReplyDeleteNikki nikhad@verizon.net
I'd like some sourdough starter or cake enhancer or the block of caramel or a doughnut pan.....I love KAF and I really want one of everything.
ReplyDeletesusitravl(at)gmail(dot)com
I would buy their flav-r-bites and maybe some of their bake and give pans. We are always baking and giving to our neighbors.
ReplyDeleteThank You!

ooh! whole-grain bread improver, special dry milk, cinnamon bites, harvest grains blend... the list goes on and on!

I would use it for Vermont Cheese powder which I have been dying to try, the goldfish measuring spoons my daughter wants, cookie painting kits for my oldest three children, and some scone mixes. Of course I am sure as I browse I would find at least a dozen other things I would love to try!
ReplyDeletejust wanted to add you can contact me at mrsrader1986@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteOhhhh...who can decide? Sourdough starter, the wavy bakers for personal pies, goldfish spoons, mouse measuring cups.... so many choices.
ReplyDeletepandora665 at yahoo dot com
Why won't this system let me tell you that I want to try the Vermont cheese powder, and maybe some pumpernickel flour!?
ReplyDeleteElaine - elainermiller at gmail dot com
I would love to have the Party Cake Carrier and Double Sided Pie Topper. Although there's plenty of food goodies on there I'd like try too now that I know about their site!
ReplyDeleteMaybe more parchment paper sheets and chocolate. I love King Arthur!
ReplyDeleteI would buy vanilla extract and flour! I always do a lot of holiday baking for friends and family and love King Arthur products!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I love that site. There are so many things I want, like the cake enhancer and the pizza dough flavoring.
ReplyDeleteI would get... oh my, I can't decide! My family loves pizza, so I may get some pizza dough ingredients! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, where to begin? I would stock up on some items for my holiday baking... bake & give mini loaf pans, quick bread (pumpkin spice)& scone (cherry almond) mixes, chocolate chunks, and a new cookie sheet. I'd also get a bottle of garlic oil for dipping homemade breadsticks. Let the holidays begin!

Gluten Free Bread mix & pizza mix and the flour mix! I live with a Diabetic&Celiac Grandmother so we don't need cakes and cookies as much, even if she loves them. But her bread that we can find at the nearby stores taste like cardboard..I try making bread for her, but I'm still on a search for a lighter bread (*read* Grandma is low in the chewing department). I'd love to win so that I can continue to show her that being gluten free doesn't mean having the same tasteless boring things day in and out!
