Matthews Rye Flour – Perfect for cookies, biscuits & pancakes

Organic, light and dark, malted, spelt & rye blends

Matthews Rye Flour comes in multiple varieties, guaranteed to create a wonderful-tasting bake. Our rye flour is lovingly crafted in the Cotswolds through our partnership with farmers near Stow-on-the-Wold.

Rye flour offers opportunities to create light or dark bakes by using the different types of rye flour. Light rye flour has a lighter grey colour than wholegrain rye due to the stone ground milling process removing some of the bran. The stone ground milling does not remove all of the bran as some minerals and vitamins will remain from the bran and germ. Removing the bran makes the dough less dense and easier to work.

Our dark rye flour is milled from 100% rye berry, preserving the bran and germ within the flour, creating that lovely rich dark colour and nutty taste.

Our malted rye flour contains rye flakes. Malted rye flour is a rich and dark flour that smells amazing when baked due to the malted rye flakes. You can create denser loaves or mix this with other flour to craft a lighter but equally tasty bake.

Finally, our spelt and rye flour is a perfectly blended flour of wholegrain Cotswold rye and Cotswolds light spelt flour. Together they produce a lighter wholemeal blend full of texture, nutrition and flavour.

You can purchase Matthews Rye flour in individual 1.5kg bags, boxes of 5 (7.5kg total) and 16kg sacks for busy bakers.

Matthews Sourdough Flour – Award-winning taste for superior bakes

Choose from our perfectly matched selection of flours for an amazing sourdough bakes.

Sourdough bread uses a starter instead of commercial yeast. This starter is a mixture of fermented flour and water and contains wild yeast and so-called good bacteria. This causes the bread to rise and helps create that unique taste and texture people love with sourdough. Sourdough is a good choice for sensitive stomachs, as the natural bacteria is more in tune with your body and can be less likely to cause digestive issues. 

At Matthews, we know how important and loved your sourdough starter is. Each one has a name and produces its own unique taste and texture. This is why we only recommend the very best flour for your sourdough bakes.

You can choose from a range of strong whites, great Canadian whites, Churchill bread flour, our special white flour and dark rye flour. These flours come in bags or large sacks. Their all-purpose nature makes them the perfect blend to create stunning sourdough bread.

Spelt Flour – Healthy Flour with incredible benefits

Our Spelt Flour range comprises organic, wholegrain and white varieties.

Spelt flour is an ancient grain that has been cultivated by people for thousands of years. Its value has not diminished over time, just perhaps people’s knowledge of it. At Matthews Cotswolds Flour, we appreciate its history and have developed Spelt Flour for the modern baker.

Benefits of using Spelt Flour in baking

• Spelt flour can be recognised for its sweet and nutty flavour. This flavour adds an extra depth to baking and is perfect for making cookies, waffles, bread and muffins.
  
  
• Spelt flour is full of nutrition and is an excellent source of fibre, carbs and protein. It also contains vitamins B1, B6 and E.
   
• Helping reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers is also a wholegrain benefit associated with Spelt Flour.
   
• Spelt Flour is a multi-purpose flour. It can be used for a multitude of different bakes and recipes and is a flour every serious baker owns. Also, adding 20% spelt flour with your Pizza or Tipo 00 flour into your pizza dough will work wonders. 

The history of Spelt Flour

Spelt Flour is known to have been cultivated between 6000 to 9000 years ago. This is why it is often referred to as an ancient grain. Other ancient grains include Einkorn and Emmer. Although not as old as either Einkorn or Emmer, Spelt has arguably been more consistently used throughout time.

Why chose Matthews Spelt Flour

Working with spelt farmers locally and across the UK allows us to share a de-hulling plant at one farm. We then use 100-year-old pine bins to condition the collected spelt to perfection. Once conditioned, we mill the spelt into the different types of spelt flour we offer.

Matthews Spelt Flour is a local and UK product created using techniques which stay true to the ancient taste and benefits offered by Spelt Flour.

*Spelt Flour has lots of health benefits. It has high levels of gluten, so should not be used by those with an intolerance to gluten or irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Bread flour falls into the strong flour category. We have a lovely selection box of the ultimate bread flours and a box featuring a selection of stoneground Cotswold flours.

Our specialist range of strong flour offers varying levels of protein content, so you can choose the best flour for the product and structure you desire. You can also use strong flour to mix and strengthen other weaker flours to create your perfect blend.

Matthews Wholegrain Flour – Award-winning taste created through traditional methods

Choose from our carefully crafted range of wholemeal flours

Matthews wholegrain flour is created using 100% of the whole-grain berry. Using traditional methods of stone and roller milling in our one-of-a-kind ancient mill, we create superior quality whole grain flour.

Some roller mills will extract the germ and bran from the grain and then only add a small percent back into the mix. At Matthews, we make sure we retain 100% of these most nutritious parts of the grain in our flour. This makes our wholegrain flour range one of the best to cook with for flavour whilst remaining one of the healthiest for you too.

Our wholegrain flour is high in protein and gluten, which helps create lovely unique rustic stone ground flavours in your bakes.

It is also easy to add to wholegrain flour. Our 100% wholegrain flour does absorb more water, so needs more kneading, adding other whole grains to the mix can develop a perfect rise and unique taste profile and elevate your recipes to a new dimension.

 Plain flour milled from soft wheat with a protein level of 9.5%
