We milled Founder's Blend to mark Charles Hayden's bicentennial, and we wanted one bag that carried the whole story. Hard Red Spring and Vitrea Wheat for structure, White Sonora and Blue Beard Durum for flavor, and a portion of Malted White Sonora that changes how the whole blend behaves.
That malted portion is worth understanding, because it is doing more work than its share of the bag suggests. The White Sonora wheat is carefully sprouted right here in Arizona, just long enough for the grain to wake up and turn its own starch into sugar, then dried before it goes any further. That sugar is what your starter has been waiting for. Fermentation moves with real gusto, the crust bronzes into a deep golden brown, and the loaf carries a warm, malty sweetness underneath the nuttiness.
Built for artisan sourdough, and just as good in yeast breads, dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, focaccia, pizza crust, waffles, and muffins.
