    An excellent flour for sourdough

    Recently I began working with Rougevde Bordeaux “00” as the main flour in my sourdough bread. As are other BSM flours, it is a dream to work with, and it adds a classic French bread taste to the loaf that will be immediately familiar.

    Delicious Riff on Brioche

    Made brioche with approx half Rouge de Bordeaux and half unbleached bread flour. Great flavor and darker color. Needs higher hydration than all bread flour, but otherwise no recipe adjustment.

    Really nice base flour for breads

    Making a bread dough with just this Rouge de Bordeaux flour (00), I was pretty amazed with how quickly things came together. After just the initial mix and one set of stretch & folds, I had a strong, elastic dough. I suspect you'd get remarkable results following a no-knead recipe with this flour. The flavor and aroma are subtle and low on sweetness, which really allowed the sourdough flavors to shine through.
