Rye Flour – Distinctive Flour for Rustic Bread & Sourdough

Rye Flour is milled from rye grain and is valued for its distinctive, earthy flavour and its role in traditional European baking. Compared with wheat flour, rye flour typically produces a denser texture and a characteristic flavour that works especially well in rustic loaves, sourdough breads and crispbreads.

Popular in German, Scandinavian and Eastern European cuisines, rye flour is used in a variety of breads, including dark rye loaves and traditional pumpernickel-style bread. It can also be used in crackers, pancakes and selected baked goods. Rye flour is often combined with wheat flour for bread-making, as rye dough behaves differently from conventional wheat dough.
