How to use (best results) 👨🍳

• For bread: Rye flour absorbs water differently and can bake denser. For a lighter loaf, blend with wheat flour (try 20–40% rye to start).
• For sourdough: Add rye to deepen flavour and create a beautiful rustic crumb.
• For crackers: Rye makes naturally earthy, savoury crackers—great with seeds and salt.

Quick recipe ideas 🥖

1) Easy Rye Sourdough Blend
Use 70% bread flour + 30% rye flour in your usual sourdough recipe. Add a little extra water if needed (rye can be thirstier). The result: richer flavour and a more rustic loaf.

2) Crisp Rye Crackers (simple)
Mix 1 cup rye flour, ½ tsp salt, 1 tbsp olive oil, and ½ cup water (add slowly). Roll thin, score, sprinkle salt/seeds, bake at 180°C for 12–18 mins until crisp.

FAQs ❓

Is rye flour the same as wheat flour?
Not quite. Rye has a deeper, earthier taste and typically bakes denser—many bakers blend it with wheat flour for the best texture.

How much rye flour should I use in bread?
If you’re new to rye, start with 20–40% rye in a wheat flour recipe. Increase for a stronger rye character.

Is this flour gluten-free?
No. Rye contains gluten.

Does it work for crackers?
Yes—rye is excellent for crackers and crispbreads because of its flavour and rustic finish.

Storage & freshness tip 🫙

Store in a cool, dry place, sealed airtight after opening. For longer freshness, refrigeration or freezing (airtight) is recommended.
