30 reviews for Eight Grain Bread Flour

  1. Kafil –

    This is a firm favourite in our house. The grains add a lovely nuttiness to the bread, whether making a regular loaf or sourdough. For a wholegrain flour it does produce a very open loaf that feels lighter than many others.
    We use this either by itself or in a blend of other flours as it lifts the flavour of any loaf it is added to.

  2. jamesdavidstevenson –

    I have been making “artisan” bread for several years a la Ken Forkish. This flour is 5-star easily. It bakes up well, and results in a delicious loaf. It does not produce a “light” bread being whole grain, but the taste and texture are as good as any I have ever produced. Tastes vary, but I love it.

  5. Alan Obrien –

    This one suprised me. I was looking forward to it and expected a flour full of grains but they are barely visible ie not many in the first bag i have tried. Hoping the other two will be better.

  7. Tony F –

    I’m new to breadmaking, and thought that this flour looked good and that I would give it a try. Hole in one! I used a very simple ‘no-knead’ recipe from the ‘Jenny can cook’ website, and I am bowled over by the result! I have made real bread and it’s delicious. In fact I enjoyed typing that last sentence so much I’m going to type it again: I have made real bread and it’s delicious. What more can I say?

    Great flour – it makes a nice solid but still fluffy loaf. I love the extra bite and colour. Best flour I’ve bought since moving to the UK.

    excellent product family really love it

  15. Sue –

    I am a fan of lots of the flour from Matthews. The Eight Grain is a favourite with my husband….I prefer more of a wholemeal loaf, so I often mix the two which gives great results that both of us love.
    I wouldn’t normally use bread flour in cakes, but due to lockdown availability I have been experimenting and have used a little of this with some finer cake flour to good effect, particularly in fruit cakes, where the extra seeds work well.

  16. magda –

    Love it !!

  17. Nigel Hope –

    I use the wonderful 8 grain flour as the basis of my family’s favourite bread. I use some VSW flour the night before to make a poolish and use olive oil rather than butter as this improves “keepability”, not that it lasts long. I make Pullman, buns or bloomers today was bloomers.

    Hi Pat ,

    Thank you for wonderful comment .
    We also love our Edith Grain .
    Enjoy baking !!

  19. Pat Guy –

    I ordered 5 bags of this flour during lockdown. Until now, I have stuck with whole meal but am very glad that I tried this flour and will definitely order again. I followed a Sandwhich recipe in my Panasonic bread maker and the resulting loaf stayed fresh for a couple of days. Each bite is delicious and there is often a little extra aftertaste when you’ve bitten into a grain. A wonderful flour and excellent service. I’ll be ordering from you often from now on.

  34. Jan Brown –

    Makes a lovely loaf. I have used it with a rye and spelt sourdough starter and it was great but it’s equally good with a yeast starter.

  35. sandie middleton –

    Absolutely delicious, my neighbour agrees too! Makes a great loaf. Will definitely be buying again.

  36. Helen Curtis –

    Love the eight grain flour – I have been making sourdough every week for over 4 years and this flour seems to make it more open and light – was using another brand of six grain until I couldn’t get it – will definitely stick with this one now

  40. Debbie Thompson –
