Great for Bread

I love using flour from Barton Springs, that flavor it imparts to the bread is incomparable. I'm eager to develop my own pizza flour blend using this flour.

Wonderful

We love this flour. So easy to make tortillas, and other baked goods. Also wonderful to mix with Eikorn, Rouge, and other flours to give them a lighter flavor and texture.
