Organic wholemeal flour, specifically rollermilled, is a type of flour that is made from whole grains of wheat that are organically grown and processed using a roller milling method
The flour is made from the entire wheat grain, including the bran, germ, and endosperm
Rollermilled: This refers to the process by which the wheat is ground. In roller milling, the wheat grains pass through a series of steel rollers that progressively crush and grind the grain into flour. This method is efficient and can produce a fine, consistent texture.
This organic wholemeal flour has had no chemical bleaching, no alcohol treatment, no additives, no anti-bacterial agents, no anti-fungal agents and no bromate added
Uses
Bread: Organic wholemeal flour is ideal for making whole grain bread, which is dense and flavorful. It can be used alone or mixed with other flours for a lighter texture.
Pastries: While wholemeal flour makes pastries denser than those made with white flour, it adds a rich, nutty flavor and is often used in recipes for more robust baked goods like scones, muffins, and certain types of cakes.
Pasta: Homemade pasta made with wholemeal flour has a hearty taste and texture.
Pizza Dough: Using wholemeal flour in pizza dough results in a crust that is chewy and has a complex flavor profile.
Storage
Cool, Dry Place: Wholemeal flour should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent it from going rancid, as the oils in the germ can spoil more quickly than refined flours.
Refrigeration: For extended shelf life, it can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
