“I mix this flour with Cotswold white bread flour to make the most delicious loaves - the dough is so soft and spongy to work with and my customers love the end result. Cannot fault the product!”

“My wife came home with a bag of 8 grain and asked me to make some rolls with it. I substitute half of the water for milk. This makes the softest rolls. This is why she keeps me…. Other than that, I’d be out on my ear!”

“Ive found eight grain flour works best when mixed 50.50 with cotswold crunch. The eight grain gives a good structure, while the cotswold crunch enhances the flavour. I also sprinkle matthews dark rye over the loaf, with a splash of beer (use a mister or recycle an old spray bottle) to give a delicious dark malty crust.”

“Have used this for some time now to make baps. They are a nice middle of the road result that is neither hard, dark brown nor pale white. I use 500 for 10 small( 30 butter, 5 salt) and 625 for 10 larger(38 butter 6 salt) both for 18 mins at 200 fan, turning half way to even the bake. Delicious taste and great texture. Delivery interrupts”

“We make sourdough starter using this flour, it really matures well and leaves our kitchen with a lovely aroma. Bread is then made with the starter and the 8 grain, when it comes out of the oven it really has a great baking aroma, we cannot wait for it to cool, before tearing off chunks. If we need it to last a while we add some butter to the dough, once baked store it in the fridge, it lasts over a week.”

“This is some of the best bread flour we have ever used. We combine it with a small amount of your white bread flour to produce , not only an excellent looking loaf, but one that tastes exceptionally good.”

“This flour produces a really nice loaf. A very good texture, and flavour. It is well liked in the family, and makes any sandwich, just that little bit special.”

“First time I used this it made a beautifully textured loaf, the only problem I have with this (and indeed the comprehensive selection of flours here) is I shall end up looking like a Cottage Loaf with the amount of bread I shall eat, but its so tasty.”
