If you’ve ever stood in front of a shelf of flours and thought, “Where do I even start?", you’re not alone.When you’re baking from scratch, the type of flour you choose can make or break your bake. But it doesn’t have to be confusing. 

This guide is here to help you match your baking dreams with the right kind of stoneground flour. Let’s keep it simple, soulful, and delicious.

 

🌾 Why Stoneground Flour?

Unlike mass-produced flours that are roller-milled at high speeds, stoneground flour is milled slowly and gently. This traditional method keeps the bran, germ, and endosperm intact, which means more flavour, more nutrition, and a texture that actually feels alive.

It’s not just flour. It’s the foundation of deeply nourishing food.
