Your Guide to Navigating the New Kialla Organic Flour Range

Flour is one of the most important ingredients in baking, but not all flours behave the same way. The grain type, milling process and protein content all influence the flavour, texture and structure of your final bake. 

From everyday baking staples like plain flour and self raising flour, to speciality bread flour, wholegrain varieties and ancient grains like spelt and rye, understanding the differences can help you choose the perfect flour for your kitchen. 

Kialla Organic’s range brings together traditional milling methods and Australian-grown organic grains to create flours suited for everything from cakes and biscuits to sourdough, pizza and rustic breads.

2. Stoneground Flours: Wholegrain Goodness

What are stoneground flours? 
Stoneground flour is made by milling the entire grain using traditional stone milling methods. Unlike refined flours, stoneground wholegrain flours keep the bran, germ and endosperm together, creating a flour with more texture, depth and natural grain flavour. 

The bran contributes texture, the germ provides natural oils and flavour, while the endosperm provides the structure needed for baking. 

Wholegrain stoneground flour is often used to create wholesome wholegrain bread, rustic loaves and baked goods with a richer wheat flavour.

What are bread flours? 
Bread flour is designed with stronger gluten-forming ability, allowing dough to stretch, hold shape and develop structure. 

These flours are particularly suited to yeast-based baking where elasticity and strength are important, helping create breads with a better rise, texture and crust.
