White and Wholemeal Wheat Flours
In the UK, white flour is fortified by law, which means that UK millers must add iron, calcium, niacin, and thiamine to it. This legislation goes back to the Second World War, and you can see why they’ve kept it up – it’s good for you. The Baker’s Cousin offers white and wholemeal wheat flours sourced from UK flour millers who are mainly local. They’re able to select specific wheat varieties from local growers, which can have a positive influence on bread flavour. The Baker’s Cousin‘s flours are milled using the stone milling process, which produces flour in one action and usually includes 100% of the original grain.
Rye Flours
Rye flour has a tradition in bread making, particularly with sourdough. On its own, rye can be used to make bread, but it results in a densely textured loaf compared to bread made from wheat. However, combined with wheat flour, rye flour can add a further flavour dimension whilst still retaining some of its ‘soft eating’ qualities. The Baker’s Cousin offers rye flours in refined and wholemeal forms, which are milled on-site in their milling department using rye seed sourced from local farmers.
Barley Malt Flours and Flakes
Malt is a commonly used ingredient in most European breads. The malting process includes grain steeping, germinating, and kilning. The result is a sweet and nutty flavour that’s perfect for bread making. The Baker’s Cousin offers barley malt flours and flakes, which are great for adding flavour and texture to your baked goods.
