My usual grocery had some whole wheat flour on deep discount because they're discontinuing the brand. I've heard that people freeze flour. What's the best way to do it? Do you just put the entire five pound bag in the freezer? Do you portion it into smaller ziplock bags? What works?

I buy 50 pound bags and toss the whole thing in there. The flour that is in my house (in a glass jar) I put a bay leaf in it.

I just chuck it all in the freezer lol seems to work so far!

My mom always just put the whole bag in, as was. (We don't have a big enough house to have a deep freezer or I would do the same thing!) It always seemed fine; we baked a LOT so we would have noticed problems with the flour.

Supposed to help keep bugs away! I guess it works, I've never had bugs in my flour!

I do this also....and also w/rice.

And I too just chuck the whole 5 lb bag in the freezer

You can freeze flour? how strange, I would have thought it was too dry to freeze. You live and learn!
