Milled at Redbournbury Watermill. A restored working watermill on the River Ver, just north of St Albans, producing organic stoneground flour in the traditional way.
Why you’ll like baking with it: Spelt has a sweet, nutty flavour and a distinctive feel in the dough. It can ferment quickly and benefits from gentle handling, making it brilliant for characterful loaves and everyday bakes.
- Best for: Sourdough.
- What to expect: Sweet, nutty flavour; softer dough feel; great for flavourful loaves.
- Handling: Keep mixing gentle and watch fermentation; adjust hydration gradually as spelt can feel softer than modern wheat.
- Milling note: Stoneground and organic — see stoneground flour in the glossary.
- Pack size: 1.5kg.
Quick tip: If you’re new to spelt, start with a 30–50% blend into a strong white flour for easier handling.
