Great River Milling Organic 7 Grain Blend Bread Flour, 5 lb

Great healthy organic bread flour. If you are used to regular white flour this is much different in texture and behavior. It's less cohesive than regular white flour, and there is a texture to it. It also will not rise as much. What you will get in the end is a dense healthy loaf of bread. Taste is great! What you would expect. Having been to Europe and not having any issues with their bread, I think definitely getting unbromated flour is the key!! If you are looking for health benefits but something that acts more like regular white flour, you can mix this 50 /50 with your usual white flour.

I was super excited to get the chance to try this 7 grain flour, and it did not disappoint, the nutty earthy smell that hits you when you open the bag really comes through in your recipe. I wanted to try it in a recipe where I didn't add any other flour, so I made flat tortilla chips. This simple recipe gives me the purest taste, texture, and rise of a flour. Not all wheat flours are tasty in fact some are a bit bitter and leave a bad after taste. Some can also be very crumbly, or make very course and dry goods. My tortilla chip recipe only included the 7 grain flour, salt, fat (did a tallow, shortening, and olive oil mix), and hot water. I let the dough rest 1.5 hours covered, then I lightly oiled my hands, board, and divided it into 12 lightly oiled balls and covered them. I rolled out one ball at a time with a lightly oiled pin and board. Cooked them on medium low, then I lightly scored them with a pizza cutter. Once cooled a bit I broke them into pieces, and served them with a dip. This flour didn't rise much, but I was expecting that because I didn't add all purpose flour. When I tore a piece off it had a very good texture, crisp on the outside, and a bit soft on the inside. It didn't crumble nor did it have a cardboard course dry texture. Kudos to Great River because this combination has a very good flavor and the chips didn't break during dipping nor were they too hard to bite into. If I had to guess, I bet the sweet spot on the ratio would be about 1/3 of this 7 grain flour and 2/3 all-purpose flour for most bread recipes. I am try it in my pumpkin pancakes, pie crusts for chicken pot pie and fig bars. I would recommend that you keep this flour in the fridge to preserve that great taste.

Tried out a new recipe for multigrain bread- used the dough cycle to mix the dough and bread pans to rise and bake them. First let me say- the grain is beautiful, tender, and develops into a soft crumb- with a golden crust. The bread is resilient- you can squeeze and it reforms back- and the taste is so delicious- warm with butter- it's the best thing ever! This flour is wonderful- organic, paper bag (plastic free)- and super fresh. The texture of the flour is almost like graham wheat flour. Makes beautiful loaves of bread- and 25 lbs should last a few months!

Great River Milling Organic 7-Grain Bread Flour Blend, 25lb. bag The ingredients are all organic and non-GMO, which is very important to ensure good health! The actual grains are: whole wheat, rye, rice, corn, oats, millet and barley grains! What a nutritious combination!! I have an easy bread recipe I've been using for years. And this 7-Grain Blend makes the tastiest loaves ever. (Of course, fresh bread hot out of the oven is quite a treat, with real butter). I always give one warm loaf of bread to a neighbor. That's just the right thing to do, since I have the time and a good recipe! I did the math: 25lb bag yields approx 90 cups of flour, each baked loaf uses 3 cups flour = 30 loaves of bread! So, each homemade delicious and healthy loaf only costs 2.50!! I appreciate being able to buy this flour in bulk, so I can keep my pantry well-stocked. Thank you to Great River Milling and Walmart for caring about the health of their customers!!

It is wonderful, I am making my second loaf now lol Great River is my go to brans. I have always gotten quality products from them. The packaging, quality, flavor, and price are perfect for me. I currently have numerous products from them, including oats, quick oats, flax, and various millable berries.

I ordered this Great River Milling organic 7-grain bread flour because I wanted a high-quality multigrain blend for my baking. The 25-pound bulk bag is a fantastic value, and the mix of grains looks incredibly hearty and wholesome. It is great to find an organic option that is completely natural and unbleached. My plan is to keep a smaller portion out in the pantry for everyday use, and seal the rest away in Mylar bags. Storing it in Mylar bags will extend its lifespan a little longer, allowing me to safely pull it out whenever I need it over time. I am really looking forward to using this for my homemade breads and rolls.

I can't say enough about this company they make the highest quality flour and they are absolutely delicious and everything comes out with the highest standards I'm completely obsessed with there different flour blends and other bulk items you can't beat the quality definitely beyond five stars you will not be disappointed you will be a forever consumer and will accept anything other than this quality and taste the 25lb pound bag is a awesome value and last a while even as a avid baker so beyond pleased

this isn't the first Great River flour we've purchased, but it's the best. everything about it is outstanding, especially the complex taste but also the great texture. makes the best toast ever. it's basically just flawless and worth every penny.

Good organic flour that's packed with nutrients. Bread didn't rise much but that's expected with whole grain/multigrain flour. But I also didn't follow manufacturer's recipe which requires longer processing time, I simply made it like I normally make my bread. Taste and texture was great. Thank you!

Since this has multiple grains in it, it does not rise as much as all-purpose flour. Breads such as focaccia don't rise well since the flour is too heavy. Artisan bread, flatbread and bread loaves work fine. But do keep in mind, this is not good for anything that requires multiple days of fermentation.
