Wheat Flour

Wheat bran is a wonderful ingredient if you’re looking to increase your fibre consumption as it contains over 40g of fibre in 100g of bran. It works beautifully in cakes, especially in combination with wet ingredients like sweet potato and apple, because it absorbs a lot of water, making the final bake just the right level of moist. The mouthfeel of this tea loaf is not dissimilar to corn bread.

This rustic galette recipe from India Mathews is a celebration of simple, honest ingredients and using the whole of the grain. Made with wholemeal flour, the pastry has a beautiful depth of flavour: nutty, buttery and subtly sweet. Beyond the taste, baking with wholemeal flour reduces food waste in the milling process.
