Bacheldre Organic Stoneground 100% Wholemeal 4 x 1.5kg

This wholemeal flour makes a beautiful, nutty-flavoured loaf that tastes like bread really should - and is so nourishing and satisfying. How wonderful to eat bread that is from "pre-preservative" days! Friends always take a hunk home with them after tasting it, and are impressed that I make it by hand. This is not difficult; in fact, I use very little effort, for I let the yeast do the work. Here's how: Tip the whole bag of flour in a very large bowl, add yeast & water (usually needs more water than recipe says). Add everything else, then squeeze and knead with both hands for about a minute. Cover & leave in warm place for an hour. Knock back the dough & leave to rise again. Repeat a third time if you wish. These rising sessions let the yeast stretch the dough as it gives off carbon dioxide gas, leaving me to write my books. Finally, put the dough into bread tins (I tip it into a 4lb loaf tin if don't have time to shape the dough). Finally, leave to rise (proving) for about 30-40 mins. then bake in a hot oven. This method is fine if you work from home - it makes sure you take screen breaks! One word of concern to Bacheldre: why have you removed the bread recipe from the bag and put it on your website? This is not very convenient!

OK so my first few loaves with this flour could have been used as door stops but that was due to my own lack of knowledge. After substituting a small amount for white flour (50g), adding some vitamin C and using 350ml of water I'm creating some amazing loaves.I've found that after the initial rest to not flour the work surface but to use 1 tbsp of Olive Oil bit by bit on the works surface and on my hands. That way I can get away with the extra water without the dough sticking to everything while incorporating the oil into the dough. The end result is a well risen, soft loaf with that unmistakable flavour.Perhaps using some white is a cop out but as I learn more about bread making I'll push for a complete wholemeal loaf.

I’m not keen on buying this again, I like the flavour but find the bread doughy and heavy and find we have to mix it with white flour which is defeating the object of having a good wholemeal loaf

I recently bought this flour from the supermarket to have a go at making bread. Turned out great, but next time I went to the shop, they had sold out, so I ordered more online and it arrived really quickly (about three days). Even though I didn't knead the dough very much, the texture of the bread I made was good, and it had a good, wholesome taste.

I got this delivered yesterday and made a loaf this morning as one of the bags split. I am still chomping away and find myself pleasantly surprised at the lovely taste. I added lots of nuts and seeds to it. I used to buy from Tesco and found that I really could not eat two loaves on a trot as the loaves had a very heavy-going texture and a strong taste which really put me off. I searched the internet and brought this one. I am glad that I made the plunge. My son agreed with me that it did not taste so 'heavy' and we can eat home-made loaves more frequently. It did not have the after-taste the Tesco one had. I would recommend it if you find Tesco's one off-putting.

This is the best flour we had and highly disappointed that its out of stock. Why Amazon why????

I have tried all the brands that Amazon sell but with this one i rest my case! The time of study is over. This is the right flour for me and my family. Not too sour, not too sweet, just the perfect taste for me and my family. Plus, I am taking very seriously the fact that it is organic (hence the excellent taste). I am advising everybody to give a try to this one. Absolutely recommended!

Just made a loaf in my bread maker with this wholemeal flour and omg it's made the nicest loaf ever, texture is fantastic and it tastes amazing, will definitely order again
