FAQs

Does Type 1 flour change the flavor of bread?

Yes. Because it contains more bran and germ, Type 1 flour produces bread with deeper flavor, a richer aroma, and a more rustic crust.

Does this flour contain additives or chemical treatments?

No. This flour is made from natural wheat and milled without chemical additives or bleaching agents.

What is Type 1 wheat flour?

Type 1 flour is a partially refined flour that retains more bran and germ than traditional white flour. This gives it a richer flavor, more nutrients, and a slightly rustic texture that is ideal for artisan baking.

What makes stone-ground flour different?

Stone-ground flour is milled slowly using traditional stones, which helps preserve more of the grain’s natural nutrients, aroma, and flavor compared with high-speed industrial milling.

Is this flour good for sourdough bread?

Yes. This Type 1 flour is well suited for sourdough baking and can support long fermentation, helping produce loaves with a flavorful crust and an open crumb structure.

What recipes work best with Type 1 flour?

This flour is ideal for:

Sourdough bread
Artisan country loaves
Focaccia
Rustic pizza dough
Italian-style bread

Its higher bran content adds flavor and character to baked goods.

Can I substitute this flour for all-purpose flour?

Yes. You can substitute it partially or fully depending on the recipe. Many bakers mix it with all-purpose or bread flour to balance flavor, texture, and dough strength.

Does this flour contain gluten?

Yes. Type 1 soft wheat flour contains gluten, making it suitable for breads and fermented doughs but not for gluten-free diets.

Why do bakers prefer Type 1 flour for artisan bread?

Type 1 flour contains more of the wheat kernel, including bran and germ, which contributes to deeper flavor, better fermentation, and a rustic crumb with a golden crust.

Where is this flour produced?

This flour is milled in Italy by Polselli, a historic milling company that has produced flour for professional and home bakers since 1932.

Is this flour unbromated?

Yes. This is unbromated flour, making it a great choice for pan pizza, focaccia, rustic breads, hearth loaves, long-fermentation doughs, and artisan bakery programs.

Is this flour unbleached?

Yes. This is unbleached flour, offering a traditional flour option with more wheat character for home bakers, pizzerias, bakeries, restaurants, and foodservice kitchens.
