About this product

Description

Stone ground wheat flour is a type of flour that is made by grinding whole grains of wheat using traditional stone mills. Unlike modern steel roller mills, which use high-speed machinery to grind the grain, stone mills grind the grain slowly and gently, preserving more of its natural flavour, texture, and nutrients. Alce Nero stone ground wholemeal soft wheat flour is made from soft wheat, which has a lower protein content than hard wheat varieties. Soft wheat flour is ideal for making bread and pizza doughs that are light and fluffy, with a tender crumb.
  • One of the key benefits of stone ground wheat flour is that it retains more of the wheat's bran and germ, which are the most nutrient-rich parts of the grain. Alce Nero stone ground wholemeal soft wheat flour is obtained by grinding the whole grain, without the addition of any bran, making it a natural source of fibre.
  • Stone grinding also results in flour with an irregular grain size, which can help create a more rustic, artisanal texture in baked goods. This irregular texture can also help the flour absorb more liquid, resulting in doughs that are easier to work with and have a more even rise.
  • Stone ground wholemeal soft wheat flour is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, nutrient-rich flour that is perfect for making bread and pizza doughs with a light, fluffy texture and rustic, artisanal flavour.
