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!
Tried the Rouge for the first time and will never go back! I adore the subtle sweetness/caramel flavor it lends to my sourdough loaves. When mixed with a bold rye, it creates a complex flavor profile that the whole family has enjoyed. I've been able to maintain relatively high hydration (76 - 79%) with good results.

This organic flour is amazing! I’ve been making sourdough bread, pancakes, pizza dough….just everything! I wanted to buy some flour made from wheat grown near our hometown of Amarillo, TX.

Consistently Wonderful
Having sampled all of Barton Spring Mill's flours, I can say that Rouge de Bourdeaux is my hands-down favorite for bread-making. I use equal parts '00 and whole wheat in my Japanese Milk Bread, and the results are off the charts -- a sturdy loaf with a pillowy, tender crumb. No problem with the proofing, this stuff will RISE. Pairs well with a simple swath of butter and jam or marmalade. The taste is complex, and I detect notes of pecan and sorghum. Just wish that Rouge de Bordeaux were available for purchase at local markets. The shipping costs are killing me, ya'll!

Great Quality
I am diabetic and I have been working very hard to eat more natural and less processed food. I bought this flour so I could start making my own quality whole wheat bread. I cannot sit down and eat a whole loaf of bread, but if I eat a couple of slices or make a sandwich I do not see the huge spike in my glucose levels. I still have to be cautious but I don't feel like I am just eating wasted calories. This is not medical advice though. If you are diabetic you have to watch your own carb intake and how your body reacts.

Love. Love. Love. Great flavor!
This gorgeous flour was beautifully packaged. I baked a few batards already and it's so delicious.
