Odlums Wholemeal Coarse

Takes me right back to Ireland!

This was just the flour I'd been looking for. I made some homemade graham crackers and they turned out fantastic. I can't wait to make bread. Thank you so much!

'Why can't a US maker provide flour of this consistency instead of smooth, finely ground whole wheat. This flour is so good, but shipping costs have become prohibitive for me. If you don't mind the shipping, this s the best!

Has a sweet flavor..unlike American whole wheat flour. I really love this flour for making Soda Bread. I'm trying not to eat yeast breads because of my mold allergy, so I discovered Soda Bread and Odlums flour. It is expensive but worth it. I don't eat bread daily for health reasons so I savor this bread when I do make it. I rave about it to all my friends. Odlum's, Honey & Oat bread recipe, which is listed on their web site, is great, and the recipe I am using.For a long time the price was $19 but now the price keeps going up. I am already looking for alternatives because of that.

My wife and I went to Ireland( you must visit) in 2019.. we fell in love with the Irish soda Bread. ate it at every breakfast. Its grainy , hearty and delicious. Bobs redmill made a premix but stopped selling it. I was heartbroken....I tried a few other mixes and they were not it at all.. more like a cake. i decided to find a recipe and make it from scratch. I did some homework and this is the stuff. Ive made numerous loaves and this is it.. thick, grainy, chewey and lovely.. recipe for anyone who cares.. this is what I did and it turns out great. 3 cups of Odlums course, 1 cup unbleached organic white flour, 1/2 cup of organic rolled oats, 1.5 Tsp of salt( I use grinded sea salt) , 1 tsp of baking soda.....mix all thoroughly together......then pour in 1&3/4 cups of Buttermilk( I use trader joes low fat cultured buttermilk)....OH FORGOT to preheat over to 450.... mix all together- it will be pretty dry. I form into an oval. cut the top in criss cross and put in the oven for 35 minutes......its the bomb every time! good luck

The order arrived early, so was able to bake a loaf of brown bread a day early!This flour has the coarse/fine mix you need to get that slightly crunchy, perfect texture of the bread.

I wasn't sure if I needed to get this to make Irish Brown Bread, which is essentially whole wheat soda bread. The bran and the germ are not ground fine as in American style whole wheat flour. You might get the same effect if you added wheat bran and wheat germ to your regular flour. Turns out that the coarse grind really is the thing that makes Brown Bread what it is. One can find many variations on the recipe, but this whole meal flour, buttermilk, soda, and salt are the crucial ingredients.

I love this flour but the bag arrived with a couple of small tears. 4 instead of 5 stars.
