This 19th century bread flour was the favorite of French bakers for generations. Breads from Rouge de Bordeaux have a rich, nutty flavor with aromas of cinnamon and baking spice. It can be used as bread flour in any recipe.
Flavor profile: Nutty and earthy with subtle notes of cinnamon and baking spice
We love it in:Artisan Hearth Breads, Brownies, Cookies, Crackers, Muffins, Pizza, Pretzels, Yeasted Rolls and Breads
Remember! You don’t need a special recipe… you can use stone-milled flours in any recipe. If you find the outcome a bit dry, don't be afraid to increase the liquid in your recipe. Our flours are thirsty!
This is by Far my favorite flour. I love to use it as my starter feeding before baking with a bit of Einkorn flour. This flour especially the double zero make 80-90% hydration a breeze to handle if you are used to handling higher hydration already. The flavor is just incredible aswell. Highly recommend with Sourdough as the dark nutty flavors pair incredible well. Awesome flour from an awesome company. Will be purchasing again.

The most delicious Whole wheat
I bought the Rouge Bordeaux flour and the Marquis flour. It made all the difference in the world to my country sourdough. No bittereness, beautiful smell and taste, FAR above anything else I’ve tried. Also, a lovely carmelized crust. Thanks for shipping Barton Springs, I LOVE your work! Will be ordering regularly ❤️🌷🌷

Delightful
Really enjoyed using this flour for my weekly sourdough bake (50/50 Rouge & regular organic white bread flour). Compared to the bread flour I normally use, this one has almost a pinkish hue. Post-bake, crust seems a bit rosier, and the bread itself seemed more aromatic once it cooled enough to cut. The taste is divine, naturally - once baked, my bread had a nose akin to the smell of fresh ground coffee. Also, I can confirm that this flour is thirstier than my old standby whole wheat. However, kneading with wet hands seemed to get the right amount of extra water in so my dough could behave properly. :-)

Five Stars to Barton Springs Mills!
I got Butler’s Gold 00 to use instead of another brand’s organic All-Purpose flour for making my sourdough bread and pancakes. This flour performs very well and tastes fantastic! I’ve also been incorporating the Rouge de Bordeaux and Spelt into my bread and pancakes. Absolutely delicious!
