Diamant rye flour type 1150 1000g

Diamant Roggenmehl Type 1150 is a medium-dark German rye flour, milled to the grade most German rye and mixed-grain breads are built on.

Type 1150 keeps more of the grain than a pale flour, which is what gives rye bread its darker crumb and its distinctive, slightly tangy, earthy taste. It is the usual choice for Roggenmischbrot, Bauernbrot and sourdough starters, and it is normally blended with wheat flour, since rye on its own gives a dense loaf.

Rye dough is stickier and less elastic than wheat dough — expect to work it with wet hands or a scraper rather than heavy kneading. Store the 1kg pack sealed, cool and dry.
