Like all flour though, it spends 3 days in the deep freezer as soon as it gets home.

Similar to Gold Medal, less than King Arthur (12.7%), or relative to Bob's Red Mill (12-13%).
I've used the Amazon Bread flour to make bread and multiple batches of bagels and it performed well. It's hard to beat at this price.

Kills weevil eggs: Freezing for 2-7 days kills microscopic insect eggs that may be in the flour, preventing them from hatching later.
Extends shelf life: Freezing prevents the natural oils in flour from becoming rancid, significantly extending its shelf life.
Prevents moisture absorption: In humid climates, freezing helps keep flour dry and prevents it from absorbing moisture from the air.
How to freeze and store flour
Initial freeze: Immediately after buying flour, place the bag in the freezer for at least 48 hours to kill any eggs.
Transfer to an airtight container: After the initial freeze, transfer the flour from the original bag to a truly airtight container, such as a sealed plastic container or glass jar. The original paper bags are not airtight and can allow pests to get in.
Long-term storage: For long-term storage, you can keep flour in the freezer indefinitely in an airtight container. You can also store it in a cool, dark pantry for shorter periods (up to about 6-8 months for all-purpose flour).
Whole grain flours: Whole grain and oily flours should always be stored in the freezer or refrigerator to prevent the fats from going rancid.
