King Arthur Baking Organic Medium Rye Flour - 3 lbs for Complex Flavorful Breads & Baked Goods - 100% US Grown & Milled - Non-GMO Project Verified - Robust Flavor for Rye Bread, Cookies & MoreUSDA Organic

For years, my baking life was pretty straightforward. All-purpose flour, maybe some whole wheat if I was feeling adventurous. My bread was... fine. It did the job. Then, I decided it was time to branch out. Time to embrace the dark side of baking. Time for rye flour. Specifically, King Arthur Organic Medium Rye Flour.When this bag of slightly mysterious, darker-than-usual flour arrived, I felt a sense of anticipation. And a little bit of trepidation. Rye has a reputation. It's got flavor. It's got... character. Unlike the mild-mannered all-purpose, rye is the flour that shows up to the party with a story to tell and maybe a slightly eccentric hat.Baking with it was a new experience. The dough felt different, smelled different. My kitchen started to smell less like a standard suburban home and more like a charming, slightly dusty bakery in a European village. I half-expected a wise, apron-wearing baker to appear and offer cryptic advice about fermentation.The first loaf of rye bread I pulled out of the oven was a triumph! It had a beautiful, deep color and a crust with serious personality. And the taste! It was complex, slightly tangy, and wonderfully robust. It wasn't just bread; it was a culinary journey. My sandwiches suddenly felt more sophisticated. My toast had a certain je ne sais quoi.I've also experimented with adding it to other baked goods. Rye chocolate chip cookies? Surprisingly delicious, adding a depth of flavor I didn't know I was missing. Rye banana bread? A revelation! This flour doesn't just sit there; it contributes. It makes things interesting.If you're ready to move beyond the basics and add some depth and character to your baking, give this organic medium rye flour a try. It's high quality, bakes beautifully, and will make your kitchen smell amazing. It's opened up a whole new world of baking possibilities for me. I'm thoroughly enjoying the flavorful journey.

Great rye flour for sourdough! Adds rich, robust flavor and works perfectly for bread and baked goods. High quality and non-GMO. Highly recommend!

Love King Arthur products and this is another one of their fine products works excellent for sourdough bread

Our only sourdough starter food and significant portions of sourdough bagel recipe. Good stuff. Cannot beat it for feeding your starter .

I like to feed my starter culture a variety of complex wheats with some of the bran and germ still in the flour. This flour works great for that and it really helped liven up my starter culture for sourdough. I usually add about 50g of this to my sourdough boules and it helps add a little more flavor to the bread.

For some reason we had the hardest time getting our sourdough starter up and going. We probably killed 5 before one stuck. The only thing we changed was switching to this rye flour and by golly it's incredible. I also love the depth of flavor it gives. In 4 years of sourdough tho, I've never had a starter this active and strong!

The King Arthur Medium Organic Rye Flour is fine. I like the rye bread I make in my bread machine, in which this rye flour is a key ingredient, of course. I also appreciate the fact that King Arthur packs the flour in a tough bag with a "ziploc" seal. That surely helps keep the flour fresh, especially important because the "best by" date on the package for my latest delivery is just nine months from the date I received the package. I keep the flour sealed in the refrigerator for months and have never had a problem with it.

That flour made my sourdough starter sooo healthy. It definitely will last me awhile. The rye color is good and the price is absolutely fair.
