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.

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.

Khorasan is an ancient wheat — a large amber grain closely related to durum. It is the exact same grain that is also marketed under the brand name “Kamut®”. Khorasan wheat is appreciated for its smooth, buttery, nutty flavor, and its high protein and nutritional content.

Khorasan wheat contains a high mineral concentration especially in selenium, zinc, and magnesium, and it has 20-40% more protein compared to modern-day wheat. It also has a higher lipid-to-carbohydrate ratio, which means the grain produces greater energy and has a natural sweetness to counterbalance the occasional bitterness present in traditional wheat.

Khorasan grain is naturally resistant to pests and can be more easily grown organically than most other types of wheat. This grain is “untouched” by modern plant breeding programs and is not dependent upon large amounts of synthetic agricultural inputs.

Even though this wheat variety contains gluten, some people with sensitivities report it is easier to digest than modern wheat. It is not considered suitable for people with celiac disease.

Khorasan’s flavor and nutritional attributes make it an excellent flour in tighter-crumb breads that bake up with a beautifully gold colored crumb. The flour is also wonderful to use in pasta, cookies, crackers, pastries, waffles and pancakes. The wheat berries also can be flaked for cereals or used whole in salads or pilaf after being soaked and boiled.

Khorasan is also available as freshly stone-ground whole grain Khorasan flour and in wheat berry form.

Note: Since this flour contains wheat germ and 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 recommend keeping your flour in air tight packaging or container and storing in a cool place or preferably the refrigerator or freezer.

Twisted Spinach Bread

Pull apart this twisted spinach bread and dip it in tangy marinara sauce as a striking and delicious appetizer for a dozen or a main course for four. The presentation is lovely and the bread is full of flavor and texture: chewy bread, cheesy spinach, and tangy sauce.

Tomato Pizza (and Pitas) with Khorasan Flour

This tomato pizza is a celebration of sauce and bread. Without mozzarella and other toppings, the focus is on the delicious, chewy-crispy Tipo 00 and khorasan wheat crust and the tangy herb-filled tomato sauce. A light grating of pecorino romano cheese adds some umami and salt to the pizza, and in the sauce, you have the option to boost that savoriness with an anchovy, along with red pepper flakes for heat.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Donuts

The spice blend in these pumpkin donuts is quite entrancing and they're so easy to make. Try the cinnamon-sugar topping for a classic, not-too-sweet fall donut; or dip the donuts in the coffee icing to experience a "pumpkin spice latte" donut.

Fugazzeta (Stuffed Pizza)

Fugazzeta is a scrumptious cheese-stuffed pizza topped with caramelized onions from Argentina. This recipe features a sourdough crust with two types of flour and some filling variations, including spinach and nigella seeds.

Naturally Leavened Khorasan Sandwich Bread

This soft sandwich bread has a beautiful golden color and a buttery and very slightly sweet flavor. It's perfect for sandwiches and toast. The dough uses ancient khorasan wheat high extraction flour, which means it is stone ground and sifted to be midway between "white" and whole wheat.

Khorasan Wheat Sourdough Bread

Khorasan (AKA Kamut®) wheat has a smooth and rich, buttery flavor, and the high extraction flour used in this bread is midway between whole wheat and white flour. This dough is wonderfully manageable, and the final bread has a beautiful golden color, soft texture, and delicious flavor.
