Hard White Wheat Sandwhich Bread
Home-milled hard white wheat flour offers an extraordinary taste and many health benefits that elevate home baking to a new level. The fresh milling process preserves the natural oils and nutrients of the wheat kernel, resulting in flour that boasts a rich, nutty flavor and a delightfully wholesome texture. Unlike store-bought flour, home-milled hard white wheat retains all its bran and germ, providing a robust source of dietary fiber, essential vitamins, and minerals. This unadulterated flour not only enhances the taste and aroma of baked goods but also contributes to better digestion and overall health, making it a superior choice for health-conscious bakers and culinary enthusiasts.
