Organic Stone-Ground Red Fife Flour
This Organic Stone-Ground Red Fife Flour from Janie's Mill is great to use for making hearty sourdough breads, yeast breads, pie crusts, flat breads, and pasta. Red Fife has deeper, more complex flavors than common hard red winter wheats, and breads that are made with it bake up moister, with a cohesive crumb. Red Fife has high gluten potential and hence it can be used by itself or mixed with low gluten flours such as rye. Red Fife set the baking and milling standards from the 1860s to the turn of the 20th century, and has been placed on the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity’s “Ark of Taste. It is thought to be a relative of Halychanka, a Ukrainian Heritage wheat, prized for its rich flavors and excellent baking qualities.
