Better Basics Milling Company

Most people notice a difference in the first bake. Here is why.

Better Bread Flour is made from certified organic hard red spring wheat, stone milled slowly on our Austrian Osttiroler mill, and lightly sifted to remove only the larger bran particles. Nothing added. Nothing enriched. Nothing fortified. This is the flour your sourdough has been waiting for.

What makes it different

Lightly sifted means we remove only the larger bran particles, keeping the germ and most of the bran intact. The natural protein, fibre, B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, and iron are all still there because nothing was stripped in the first place. Many people who have avoided wheat for years find they can eat it again with Better Bread Flour. No bleach. No preservatives. No additives. Just organic Canadian Prairie grain, slowly milled, and nothing else.

No synthetic folic acid. No added iron. Ever.

Our flour is never enriched. The natural folate in the wheat germ is intact exactly where it always was. For people paying attention to synthetic folic acid in their food, whether due to MTHFR gene variants or simply a preference for food that has not been chemically altered, our flour contains none. We think that is worth knowing.

Storage

Store in the fridge or freezer to preserve freshness. Freshly milled flour absorbs more water than conventional flour so you may need slightly more hydration in your recipes. Learn how to store your freshly milled flour.
