    Great taste but fussy to work with

    I loved the complex, cinnamon-y, banana-bread-ish taste of this flour. However, my first few bakes my sourdough boule emerged from the oven with a soggy, undercooked bottom. This flour seems to require less hydration than other whole grain flours I have worked with. But the taste was superb!

    Rouge de Bordeaux is my go to for epic loaves and burger buns. Morning toast goes to a whole new level!

    I loved the earthy flavor and how his flour behaves as I mix with other flours in my sourdough bread. I am extremely particular to “good/real” bread taste and texture as I was born and raised in Greece and have also lived in Italy a number of years. I will be ordering again!
