At our company, we embody the roles of the Farmer, the Miller, and the Baker working in harmony. Our foundation is rooted in over 150 years of experience dating back to a time when flour was a daily essential, and organic practices were the standard for cultivation.

Product Overview

Specifically crafted for artisan bread production, this blend of Hard Red Wheat is tailored by Artisan Bread Bakers. Our Type 80 flour shines in a variety of applications, including sourdough, rustic European breads, and traditional American loaves, regardless of their shape or size. It also performs excellently in bread machines and is suitable for diverse recipes, including laminated doughs like croissants, quick breads such as banana bread, brownies, and particularly excels in making chewy cookies.

The designation "Type 80" indicates the ash content, a measurement of the mineral residues left in the flour after the milling process. A higher mineral content enhances the flour's nutritional profile without sacrificing its performance during baking. While it resembles All-Purpose flour in appearance, it falls between white flour and whole wheat flour.

Understanding Bread Flour

Bread flour represents a unique blend of whole wheat and white flours, crafted to achieve the ultimate balance of taste and health in bread.

Is Your Flour Bromated?

Absolutely not! We proudly affirm that none of Central Milling’s products are bromated.

Is Your Organic or Commercial Flour Non-GMO?

Every wheat flour produced by Central Milling is guaranteed Non-GMO. Notably, there are currently no genetically modified wheat varieties approved for sale in the U.S.

What is 'ash,' and why is it essential?

You may have noticed tiny specks in your flour—these are fragments of bran and germ intentionally retained to enrich both the flavor and nutritional value of the flour. A higher ash content typically suggests a closer resemblance to whole grain. The numerical label, such as Type 70 or Type 80, directly correlates to the flour’s ash content, a naming convention inspired by traditional practices in France.
