NOTE: We are temporarily not allowed to call this product “certified organic”. Just prior to the COVID-19 crisis, Breadtopia moved to a new facility and now, due to health safety concerns, all organic certification inspections have been put on hold in our area. Our prior facility was certified organic and our new one will be as soon as inspections begin again. Until that time, know that we are still sourcing exactly the same certified organic grains from the same producers we always have, and we are packaging and milling with the same procedures we have always used. We just can’t call it “certified organic” until we can get our new facility inspected and certified.

This is the finest grind of stone milled flour we offer. It has the fine texture of commercial white bread flour commonly found on store shelves, but is off white in color since it retains a portion of the wheat germ from the wheat berry.

We feel our Breadtopia Select Bread Flour is the closest thing to the Holy Grail of bread flour. Use it in place of conventional white bread flour when you want a light, open crumb while retaining some of the nutrition found only in whole grain flour. Enjoy baguettes with a light open crumb and crispy crust along with a richer flavor profile and much higher nutritional value. Even croissants will be light and flaky in texture without being nutritionally flaky.

Our premium bread flour boasts a strong 14% protein level for excellent gluten development. We stone mill whole Hard Red Spring Wheat and then bolt it by passing it through a fine mesh cloth screen. Bolted flour (also know as high-extraction flour) removes much of the coarse bran while retaining some of the nutrient rich wheat germ.

About bolted flour: Bolted (or high-extraction) flour is whole grain flour with some percentage of the bran sifted out, which makes it a nice compromise between hearty 100% whole grain and all purpose white flour. It’s ideal for when you want a lighter loaf or dough yet wish to retain the high nutrition found in the germ of the wheat berry.

Course bran cuts the gluten strands in the dough which tends to result in a dense loaf. Our flour feels and performs like ordinary bread flour but is extraordinary in its performance, flavor and nutritional qualities.

Breadtopia Select Bread Flour is:

  • Unbleached
  • Unbromated
  • Unenriched (just naturally enriched!)
  • Stone Ground
  • Non-GMO
Note: If you need a pure white flour, our Organic Bread Flour is a better choice.

 

Also, since wheat germ is an oil, this flour will not keep for as long as typical commercially milled white flour. Do not purchase more than you expect to consume within a few months. We mill fresh within a couple days of shipping. We recommend keeping your flour in airtight packaging or container and storing in a cool place or preferably the refrigerator or freezer.

    First, I’ve been using the Breadtopia starter to make beautiful sourdough since Dec, but I’ve been disappointed with each of three flours I ordered together from this site, this one the most. I *was* baking lovely loaves using a different bread flour with a gorgeous color and crumb, but after switching to Breadtopia’s select, I’m struggling with color, crumb, taste, density, and texture. I will be switching back to the previous bread flour and this will likely sit until I have the heart to pitch it in the bin. Such a waste.

    This is easily the best flour I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. My wife got the three pound bag for me as a gift so I could try it out and now it’s the only flour I’ll use for my sourdough.

  3. AE –

    Produces results closer to a whole wheat flour than a white bread flour. Read the full product description to understand this flour’s characteristics so you know what you are going to get. It is definitely not an equivalent translation from the high protein bread flour, which we’ve been using, and produces a denser, heavier loaf. Note, requires distinctly more hydration than the high protein bread flour.

    My new favorite. I had been mixing store bought whole wheat 30% into my store bought bread flour and getting nice results. Then I tried this Select bread flour alone. Wow, what an awesome bread. So flavorsome. Such nice rise you know the starter had all the nutrition it needed to thrive. Very impressed.

    I’ve bought several 10# bags and it’s simply perfect.

Sourdough Technique Experiment: No Knead vs. The Works

Experimenting with different baking techniques can yield surprising results. In this case, Breadtopia Select Bolted Organic Bread Flour performed as well with the no knead technique as it did with more elaborate gluten developing steps.
