🌾 Notes on Flour Quality
These rolls are made using stoneground rye and white wheat flours, both organic and unbleached. If your white bread is bright white, ask yourself: what are they bleaching it with? Bleaching agents are banned in some countries for a reason.
We use Wholegrain Milling Co. flour from Gunnedah, NSW. Their roller-milled, fine mesh flour retains the germ and endosperm but removes the bran—similar to an Australian 00 flour. It's strong, clean, and honest.
And as for the rye—well, nothing beats the deep, earthy aroma of real, whole rye. This flour sings of old-world comfort.
