This flour was so much more finely ground than our normal wholemeal bread flour from the supermarket. It felt like white flour in my hands, but still had a lovely, nutty, wholesome flavour. I've used it in a machine loaf, that rose beautifully. It was also a real improvement on our old flour for pitta and flatbread, where before I'd have to mix in a bit of white to get the best result. I see now that not all wholemeal flour is the same!
