Great River Milling Organic 7-Grain Bread Flour, 5 lb — Ready-to-Use Multigrain Blend for Rustic Loaves

Great River Milling Organic 7 Grain Bread Flour is a ready-to-use multigrain bread flour blend that brings seven whole grains together for flavorful, rustic loaves and rolls.

This 5 lb bag combines organic wheat with rye, oats, corn, barley, millet and flaxseed in a single, shelf-friendly blend designed specifically for breadmaking. It’s milled without bleaching or bromating, certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO, and Kosher, so you get dependable baking performance and the complex taste of mixed grains without sourcing multiple ingredients. Use it straight from the bag for hearty multigrain breads or blend with other flours to fine-tune texture and rise.

What makes this 7-grain blend different from single-grain bread flours?

The combination of grains delivers layered flavor, a nuttier aroma, and more varied texture than plain wheat flour. Rye and barley add depth, oats and millet contribute tender chew, corn adds a light sweetness, and flaxseed brings a subtle crunch and binding quality.

• Seven complementary grains for complex taste and mouthfeel
• Unbleached, unbromated flour for natural color and flavor
• Includes whole-grain ingredients that boost fiber and texture
• Formulated specifically for bread and roll recipes

How should I use this flour to get the best rise and crumb?

Because multigrain blends contain grains with different gluten strengths, many bakers mix this flour with high-gluten bread flour for stronger structure. Adjust hydration slightly upward—grains like oats and flaxseed absorb more water—allowing enough time for autolyse and longer fermentation to develop flavor and gas retention.

• Try a 50:50 blend with bread flour for sandwich loaves
• Increase water by 5–10% when substituting fully
• Use longer bulk fermentation or an overnight cold rise to enhance flavor
• Add steam during baking to maximize oven spring

What kinds of recipes can I make with this 5 lb bag?

This flour is built for yeast breads and enriched rolls but is flexible enough for buns, hearth loaves, and even some quick-bread applications when combined with other flours. It produces a rustic, slightly dense crumb and a pronounced grainy flavor that pairs well with savory and sweet toppings alike.

• Rustic country loaves and bâtards with crisp crusts
• Sandwich bread when blended with higher-gluten flour
• Dinner rolls, burger buns, and seeded loaves
• Artisan-style loaves with whole-grain texture

Who is this for? Home bakers, small-batch artisan bakers, and family kitchens looking to add whole-grain character to everyday baking will appreciate this convenient 5 lb size. It’s ideal for people who want organic, multi-grain taste without the hassle of measuring out several separate grains. Bakers who prefer to customize dough strength can easily combine this blend with bread or all-purpose flour to control rise, chew, and crumb structure.
