Description
Characteristics of Bread Flour:
Protein Content: Bread flour has a higher protein content than standard flour. It contains around 12% to 14% protein.
Gluten Development: The higher protein content in bread flour results in stronger gluten formation when mixed with water. Gluten gives bread its form and elasticity.
Texture and Rise: Bread made with bread flour tends to have a chewier texture and a higher rise due to the strong gluten network.
Ideal for: Bread flour is made for yeast or sourdough-based bread recipes that require a strong structure and good volume. It is also suitable for making pizza dough and other baked goods that benefit from a chewier texture.
Why choose organic bread flour?
- No Chemical Residues: Organic flour is made from wheat that has been grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This means there is a lower risk of chemicals ending up in the flour, thus reducing potential exposure to harmful agents.
- Environmental Sustainability: Organic farming practices promote soil health and biodiversity. Organic farmers avoid using synthetic fertilisers and pesticides, which can lead to water pollution and harm insects and wildlife. By choosing organic flour, you support sustainable agricultural practices that aid environmental conservation.
- Nutritional Content: Some studies suggest that organic crops may have higher levels of certain nutrients, such as antioxidants, compared to conventionally grown crops. While the differences may be small and vary depending on the specific crop and conditions, choosing organic flour may provide numerous nutritional advantages.
- Flavour and Quality: Organic farming practices prioritise soil health and biodiversity and can contribute to improved and fuller flavour profiles.

Julia Chatterley –
This bread flour makes my sourdough blow up like a balloon!
Here’s a pic of my 74% hydrated sourdough bread (I fermented the dough for a day and half). It’s rather good if I do say so myself.
