I've been making the BSM buttermilk biscuits and this time I used 70g Red Fife whole wheat and 170g Rouge de Bordeaux 00 - fantastic combo and very tasty biscuits.

Red Fife Flour
Used the flour in a 45% Red Fife sourdough recipe and it was wonderful. Great rise, chewy crust with a light open crumb. Very flavorful and a nice alternative to regular hard red whole wheat flour.
