FAQs
Does Type 1 flour change the flavor of bread?
Yes. Because it contains more bran and germ, Type 1 flour produces bread with deeper flavor, a richer aroma, and a more rustic crust.
Does this flour contain additives or chemical treatments?
No. This flour is made from natural wheat and milled without chemical additives or bleaching agents.
What is Type 1 wheat flour?
Type 1 flour is a partially refined flour that retains more bran and germ than traditional white flour. This gives it a richer flavor, more nutrients, and a slightly rustic texture that is ideal for artisan baking.
What makes stone-ground flour different?
Stone-ground flour is milled slowly using traditional stones, which helps preserve more of the grain’s natural nutrients, aroma, and flavor compared with high-speed industrial milling.
Is this flour good for sourdough bread?

Can I substitute this flour for all-purpose flour?
Yes. You can substitute it partially or fully depending on the recipe. Many bakers mix it with all-purpose or bread flour to balance flavor, texture, and dough strength.
Does this flour contain gluten?
