Our **Organic Rye Flour** is made from the celebrated Latvian rye variety **Kaupo** and traditionally milled using **stone mills**. This slow, gentle process preserves the rye kernel's valuable nutrients and its characteristic rich aroma, making it the perfect choice for those who value authentic rye flavour and local farming.

These quality flours are suitable for everyday sourdough bread, festive cakes, **sklandrauši** (traditional carrot and potato pies), and other traditional Latvian recipes. Since the grain is organically grown, the flour is free from synthetic pesticides and mineral fertilizers—only pure, natural rye flavour.

🌾 Why Choose Our Organic Rye Flour?

• **Latvian Kaupo Variety:** A local rye strain known for its pronounced flavour and excellent baking properties.
• **Stone Ground:** A delicate milling process that retains the grain's nutritional value and natural texture.

• **Made in Latvia:** Supporting a small local farm and the Latvian countryside.

🥖 How to Use Rye Flour in Baking?

Rye flour is highly versatile and can be used for both everyday and festive dishes:

• **Rye Bread:** Essential for sourdough bread; you can blend it with wheat flour for a lighter texture or bake 100% rye bread for a deeper flavour.
• **Sklandrauši and Flatbreads:** Rye flour works excellently for bases topped with carrot or cottage cheese fillings.
• **Pancakes and Fritters:** Add rye flour to your batter for a more filling and aromatic result.
• **Gingerbread and Cookies:** Substitute some of the wheat flour with rye flour for a more complex and interesting taste.

🧑‍🍳 Rye Baking Tips

• **Combine with Wheat Flour:** For a fluffier structure, start by using 30–50% rye flour and the rest as wheat flour.
• **Allow Resting Time:** Rye dough benefits from longer fermentation—the flavour becomes richer and the structure more stable.
• **Liquid Dough is Normal:** Rye bread dough is often softer and stickier than wheat dough; this is expected.
• **Flavour Accents:** Rye bread pairs wonderfully with caraway, coriander, honey, malt, or seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, flax).
