| Baking Comments: |
Carotop rye has a delicious full nutty flavour with some truly sweet hints, almost caramel! Try it for yourself.. Rye flours are challenging to work with. Expect the dough to be sticky to work with and, as with other stoneground flours, be ready to reduce the amount of water specified in your recipe as the starch in the flour is less chopped up than in a roller milled process |
