    I love smelling this flour in the bag almost as much as I love eating the sourdough bread I bake with it! The aromas are unbeatable!

    Best sourdough bread flour!

    Use 00/WW to keep the starter alive 2x a day. Use a blend of 00/Rouge de Bordeaux and just a touch of rye for my bread. Love it!

    Great stuff

    First loaves with this were amazing. Used 100% 00, 80% hydration. Really nice flavor. Easy to work with. Get some.

    Tarragon?

    I used whole berries fresh milled and baked into whole wheat yeast loaves. I have been baking with different flours and grains. I love spelt bread and decided to try this boutique whole grain. It had a unique scent that I couldn't quite put my finger on, somewhat sweet. The structure of the bread was fantastic, soft and airy. I didn't even add vital wheat gluten or sunflower lecithin. After tasting it, I have decided I think it has a hint of tarragon flavor/scent. I see others saying cinnamon, but it seems a bit earthier to me. I will probably not use it again in bread as it was not my favorite flavor profile (I think I'm just too used to king Arthur! Hah!) I thought I would share my experience.

    Great flour

    A friend recommended this brand and this flour for bread making. I was doubtful that there would be a difference in taste but I was wrong! It tasted more like bread? If that makes sense. It made bread taste breadier.
