What is Granary Flour?

Granary flour is a distinctive type of flour made from malted wheat, which gives it a unique, nutty flavor and a coarser texture compared to regular wheat flour. It is often used in bread making to produce a hearty loaf with a rich, complex taste. This flour is named after the traditional storage buildings for grain, emphasizing its connection to wholesome and rustic baking traditions.
