CENTRAL MILLING Organic Artisan Bread Flour 25 lb - Old World, High-Gluten for Pizza & Bread

CENTRAL MILLING 100% Organic Artisan Bread Flour is a 25 lb, old-world style, high-performance flour formulated for artisan breads, pizza, and versatile baking without additives.

This organic bread flour is milled from wheat grown on family-run farms in high mountain valleys and then sifted to a lighter color to reflect traditional European flours. The result is a reliable, single-ingredient product certified Organic, Non-GMO, Kosher, and Vegan. Central Milling’s long history and employee-owned mill standards emphasize consistent quality and traceability for bakers who want a pure flour that performs across recipes.

What makes this flour suited for artisan bread and pizza?

The protein and milling method produce strong gluten development, an open crumb, and a chewy crust when used for long fermentation or high-heat bakes. It behaves predictably in both hand-shaped loaves and scaled production doughs, offering spring and structure without added improvers.

• 100% whole wheat milled and sifted to emulate European texture and coloration
• High gluten strength for oven spring and chew
• Consistent milling for uniform hydration and dough handling

How should I store a 25 lb bag to preserve freshness?

Proper storage extends shelf life significantly: keep the flour in a cool, dark place and seal it in an airtight container. For very long-term storage, add an oxygen absorber packet; under these conditions the flour can retain integrity for decades.

• Transfer to food-grade airtight container after opening
• Store in a cool (below 70°F), dark, dry area to limit rancidity
• Use oxygen absorber packets for multi-year preservation

Can I use this flour for other baking beyond bread?

Yes — while optimized for artisan breads and pizza, it performs well in cookies, pastries, and general-purpose recipes where a slightly stronger flour enhances texture. You may need to adjust hydration or mixing time depending on the application.

• Works for cookies, rustic pastries, and all-purpose uses
• Expect slightly higher water absorption than low-protein flours
• Adapt mixing and rest times for desired crumb and tenderness

What certifications and sourcing details should I know?

The wheat is organically cultivated on family-owned farms in mountain valleys and milled without additives. The product is certified Organic, GMO-Free, Kosher, and Vegan — aligning with strict ingredient transparency and dietary preferences.

• Certified Organic and GMO-Free for ingredient purity
• Kosher and Vegan compliant for broad dietary use
• Produced by Central Milling, an employee-owned mill with historical roots

Who this is for: Bakers, pizzerias, artisan bread makers, and commercial kitchens seeking a high-quality, additive-free flour that delivers old-world performance. Choose this 25 lb bag if you want a dependable, traceable organic flour that scales from home craft baking to professional production while maintaining European-style texture and flavor.
