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!
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!
