I put my first order last year and can’t and won’t use any other flour any more. It brings my sourdough bread to a very higher level.
This is the best flour! We don’t have a mill where we live. It’s so worth having it shipped. It being certified organic sealed the deal. Thank you for all the hard work! Your mill is so greatly appreciated!
The Rouge de Bordeaux flour is one of the unique flours I've ever had. The rising time is so fast, it's almost like you turn around the kitchen and the dough is up :-) I love it and will try another flour as soon as I use all 48lb of Bordeaux. Thank you!
The class was a great. Set up was perfect, and the instructor gave careful attention to each attendee to ensure success. I learned a lot about making the perfect biscuit!
I haven’t used yet. still finishing up the flours that I was using. Honestly, tho I love spelt and already use it in my recipe. The nutty flavor it adds is so delicious and not overpowering.
super fun and very educational. Thanks to a great Barton Springs Mill team!
I dont believe that any of thesegrains sold here have the original smell and taste od the wheat that we used to eat as children. Yes the grain is heirloom but its still grown with modern technics which sidelines the taste and prefers good looks.
The grain was beautiful and the flavor delicately different from my usual stardust, which is what I was going for, but it behaved more like an ancient grain and I wasn’t prepared for that. I didn’t buy enough to really work out the kinks in multiple recipes, but blending it with the stardust produced a lovely loaf with a more robust flavor than my usual khorasian/stardust blend. You should try it!
Adding your spelt to my artisan sourdough loaves boosts flavor & nutrition. Recommend it 100%
Love it! Easy to use and the bread comes out perfect:-)
I've purchased wheat berries from Barton Springs Mill for years and recently decided to store in bulk. The berries are great and I've never had an issue with pests etc. Recommend!
Loved the explanations and hands-on class. Got to take home amazing biscuits!
Class was very informative and I learned a lot. I have been making bread off and on for years and just couldn't get it right. Amazed at how many things I was doing wrong! Now baking bread weekly and loaves turn out beautifully. Shop was clean and bright, class was fun, friendly staff. Signed up for more bread classes!
I have placed several orders with Barton Springs Mill, and have always received top notch grains that are very clean. I really like the heirloom grains, and BSM has some of my favorites. I have recommended Barton Springs Mill to friends and family, but I think if the gift cards were better explained, more people would be willing to order from a mill that doesn’t advertise free shipping. From my very first order, BSM has in effect offset my some of the shipping cost with gift cards toward my next order. I think that’s just awesome as a surprise, but to encourage new customers it might be good to explain that on the website. Keep up the good work. Looks like we’re headed into hard times for farmers.
Until this class, I thought baguettes were unapproachable. I mean who bakes baguettes, right? Well now my husband and I do!
My husband has made bread once in his life - and that was at another BSM class! With guidance from Tyler, we BOTH were able to make amazing baguettes.
Tyler is a skilled instructor - his passion for all things bread is evident, and he is very patient and knowledgeable. His relaxed and un-intimidating approach to bread baking gave us the confidence to believe we could tackle the intimidating baguette. He made the class fun but kept us on task so that at the end, we all had two gorgeous loaves of whole wheat baguettes (which he even managed to keep organized in the giant oven so we all actually got our own back!) There wasn't a question he couldn't answer, and he made the process fun.
There was even a beautiful spread of meats, cheeses, and jams along with breads from the Abby Jane Bake Shop next door to munch on while our baguettes were baking.
We left with the recipe and with the confidence (thanks Tyler!) to be able to re-create the baguettes at home.
I only wish they would video these classes so I could replay them at home!
what an amazing hands on class with Joshua Ruiz and his strong starter "Feliza". We not only made 6 english muffins but made another recipe to make 6 and take home with us and bake for later. The Barton Springs Mill Flours are amazing with so many to choose from. you will not be disappointed! What a wonderful way to eat healthy, learn to feed your family healthy breads and spend the day with so many great people.
