Gordon Choice Unbleached Keynote 45 Bread Flour 20KG: For Artisan Baking
It's a high-protein, unbleached bread flour in a 20KG bag, made from hard red spring wheat. You'll want it for laminated doughs like croissants and Danish, plus chewy artisan breads and brioche. Built for the volume that pastry chefs, artisan bakeries, and hotel pastry departments in Canada put through it. ChickenPieces.
This 20KG unit is a solid workhorse for pastry chefs, bakers, and hotel pastry departments across Canada. It's made from hard red spring wheat, so the gluten structure holds up under high-volume production. We're talking hundreds of croissants a week, or bagels with the right chew.

"I've seen our customers, especially those with high-volume production in Calgary, stick with this flour for their laminated doughs. The consistent protein makes a difference when you're proofing hundreds of croissants daily. It handles long fermentation well, which is key for a developed flavor in artisan loaves. We often recommend having at least two cases on hand for busy weeks, especially during holiday prep."

Quality & Specifications
Milled fine and powdery, with a neutral wheat flavour that won't fight your other ingredients. The hard red spring wheat gives you the protein content for strong gluten development. The 20KG bag is a bulk format, so you've got enough on hand for full production runs without reordering mid-week.
Pastry & Baking Applications
This flour is made for the tough stuff. Flaky croissants, rich brioche, sourdough with an open crumb. It also does well with Montreal-style bagels, European-style breads, and laminated pastries that need the dough to hold its integrity through multiple folds.
Storage & Handling
Keep it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and away from humidity. Reseal the bag tight after each use. That keeps moisture out and pests away, which matters in a busy kitchen. Rotate your stock so you're always working with the freshest flour.
Canadian Sourcing
The wheat is North American, mostly hard red spring, which is a staple of Canadian agriculture. That means consistent milling and baking performance. ChickenPieces.com distributes it from our Calgary hub, so you get reliable coast-to-coast delivery to bakeries and pastry departments across all 10 provinces and 3 territories.
