    Great flavor and performance in sourdough

    I mill my RdB berries and mix 30-50% with high extraction bread flour in my artisan sourdough breads, starter maintenance rotation, and sprouting. RdB contributes complex flavors and great crumb structure. Most of my flours and berries are sourced from BSM.

    Great for feeding sourdough starter

    My sourdough starter loves this flour, it is quickly bubbling away shortly after being fed Rouge de Bordeaux. This flour also gets the bread dough bubbling quickly when I use it as the flour added to the starter.

    Good service and good flours

    Have ordered few different types of flour and testing the Spelt which is a fantastic flour. Love the taste. I do recommend the Barton springs mill.

    Not a success for me.

    I tried it in the (King Arthur’s) white whole wheat recipe I’ve made regularly for 2-3 years. It was LESS thirsty, water separated from the dough at the bottom of the mixing pan, and it came out with raw areas in the middle. The flavor was good but I don’t like it enough to take the time and effort to experiment to get a better result.
