Product information
"I make bread at least once a week, and have used a number of flours in my time, but this is the one I always come back to. It’s not a huge effort to make bread, but it’s nonetheless an investment of time and hope, so why risk disappointment? It’s such a lovely flour to work with, and gives a flavour and crumb that ensures every loaf to come out of your kitchen is sheer reward – which is just as it should be!"- Nigella Lawson

Recipes
Preparation Time
15 minutes plus proving time
Baking Time
Small loaves 20-25 minutes
Large loaf 30-35 minutes
Makes 2 small loaves or 1 large loaf
Ingredients
500g Organic Strong White flour
7g dried fast action yeast (or 14g fresh yeast)
10g fat or olive oil
7g sea salt
300ml lukewarm water
Method
Baking by Hand
1. Grease the bread tin(s). Place the flour, salt, yeast and fat into a large mixing bowl. Mix the fat through the flour and make a well in the centre of the flour mixture.
2. Add most of the water to the well, keeping a little in reserve, and mix to a soft dough. Add the remaining water if necessary.
3. Tip the dough onto a table and knead for 8-10 minutes.
4. Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with oiled cling film or a damp tea towel. Rest in a warm place until the dough doubles in size. This will take approximately 45 minutes.
5. Split the dough into two pieces if desired. Mould the dough round and fold to the shape of the tin(s). Place the dough piece into the tin, seam down, cover with oiled cling film or a damp tea towel. Put in a warm place and allow to rise about 1cm above the tin. This will take 45-60 minutes.
6. Uncover and bake in a preheated oven, 220°C fan/240°C/430°F/Gas 8. Bake small loaves for 20-25 minutes or a large loaf for 30-35 minutes.
7. Remove the loaf from the tin. Check it is baked by tapping the bottom of the loaf - it should sound hollow. Place on a wire rack to cool.
Using a Bread Machine
We recommend following the manufacturer's instructions, particularly the order in which to add ingredients and the water quantity.
Recipe Tip
For a cottage loaf, after the first prove split the dough into 1/3 and 2/3 pieces. Mould round. Put the large piece on a lined baking tray, the small piece on top. Press two fingers through the centre of the small piece, down to the tray base. Prove for 45-60 minutes then bake.

Great flour, good quality!
This flour is lovely and really good quality. I use it daily to make my own sourdough bread.
Recommend flour
I use this to make white loaves every week in my breadmaker and it is excellent for flavour and texture. Being a 1kg bag also means I do not have to weigh it out the second week (as each loaf if 500g).
Lovely bread flour
I'm a beginner at baking bread. Someone recommended this flour to me, and since I know very little about what to use, I went with their advice. It produces really tasty bread. So far, I've managed a basic loaf and Dutch oven bread. I think I'll give tiger bread a whirl next.
one kilogram bag
I note this is 1 kilogram instead of 1.5 as is typical for bags of flour. It is obviously dearer than non-organic flour. It performs well as a flour and if organic is what is wanted then this seems ok to me, at least I had no problems with it making bread and making shortcrust pastry (I don't use much flour so prefer to just get one bag).
Favourite bread flour
We use a bread maker regularly and this flour consistently gives the best results for milk bread and bog standard white bread - delicious!
A bit pricey but …..
Having read the reviews for cheaper brands glad I chose this for my first try at bread making was very pleased with taste and rise.
