Questions about Wheat and rye wholemeal flour
Is wheat and rye wholemeal flour good for bread?
Yes, especially for denser loaves with a hearty, slightly tangy flavour. Rye makes dough less stretchy than wheat-only dough, so use a recipe made for a wheat-and-rye blend rather than expecting a tall, airy loaf.
Can you use it instead of plain flour in cakes?
It can make cakes heavier and more robust in flavour. Start with a recipe written for wholemeal flour; for a lighter cake, plain flour is a better choice.
How should you store wheat and rye wholemeal flour?
Keep it in a sealed container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from strong-smelling foods. For longer storage, freeze it in an airtight bag and let it come back to room temperature before baking.
Can you taste dough made with this flour?
No. Raw flour can contain harmful bacteria, so don’t taste uncooked dough or batter; bake or cook it thoroughly before eating.
What does wheat and rye wholemeal flour go well with?
Its nutty, earthy flavour works well in savoury loaves, crispbreads and pancakes. Try it with soup, cheese or smoked fish.
Can you replace it with wholemeal wheat flour?
Yes, you can use wholemeal wheat flour in the same amount in bread or pancake recipes. The result will be milder and more wheat-forward, without the rye’s distinctive flavour.
Does wheat and rye wholemeal flour have more fibre than wholemeal rye flour?
No. It has 10 g of fibre per 100 g, compared with 19 g in wholemeal rye flour.
Is wheat and rye wholemeal flour high in fibre?
Yes. It has 10 g of fibre per 100 g.
