    Great flavor

    I ordered this for the second time and was confirmed in my impression the first time that the flavor is unique and rich. I made sourdough breads with it and am very happy with the results.

    Good for pasta too

    This mills fine on a Mockmill KitchenAid attachment. I sifted out the bran and re-milled the bran before making pasta dough. I normally use 200g AP or 00 flour to 105g eggs. With 200g of this flour, I recommend increasing the liquid portion to at least 110g or 115g of eggs. Definitely let the pasta dough rest for at least 20-30 minutes before rolling it out; it needs that time to fully absorb the moisture. The flavor is richer and nuttier than store-bought whole wheat pasta. Worth it and I can't wait to test the others.
