Neill's Coarse Wholemeal Flour 1.5kg | Wheaten Bread Flour

Neill's coarse wholemeal flour, 1.5kg. This is the flour for wheaten bread, which is the Northern Irish version of a wholemeal soda bread and is not quite like anything else.

The coarse grind is the point. A fine wholemeal gives you a denser, more uniform loaf; the coarse grind leaves flecks of bran that give wheaten its distinctive nutty texture and slightly open crumb.

Made with buttermilk and bicarbonate rather than yeast, so there is no proving. Handle it as little as possible, get it in a hot oven, and eat it the same day with butter.

Wheaten bread is difficult to buy outside Northern Ireland and easy to make, which is a good argument for keeping a bag of this in the cupboard.

Store it sealed and dry, and use it within a few months, since wholemeal flour goes off faster than white.
