Heygates Strong White Bread Flour - 1X16Kg

Excellent quality bread flour and good value for money. Consistently great results for all types of bread from sourdough to focaccia. We buy regularly and honestly wouldn't waste money on any other brand.

Excellent bread flour as always . I bake bread every two days, bought a few different brands but this is by far the most superior one can buy. It is delicate and the bread is divine.

With the lockdown I returned to breadmaking after a break of maybe 30 years. I chose this flour because Heygates was well known to me - indeed I used to work there during my school holidays 60 years ago!! Green flour is ground from fresh wheat and has a less oxidised nature than flours made from older wheats. This is thought to produce better tasting bread. So far with this flour I have made white loaves and rolls, olive ciabatta, oat and seed bread, and sultana and raisin fruit loaves. All have been very successful and tasty. The flour is unbleached so you don't get dazzling white bread and I only use dried yeast so it is harder to make bread that rises miles and is soft and fluffy. There are no improvers or added gluten in this flour which would aid in producing commercial style breads but it makes traditional bread which tastes like bread tasted when I was a youngster. There are many flours available now to home bakers but I recommend this one to those who want to make traditional tasty bread.

Perfect for my sourdough

Arrived in good condition, update this flour is perfectfor bread making, don't know what rubbish is in shop bought bread but this flour makes excellent bread and tastes better than the shops.

The vitamin C (ascorbic acid) additive in this flour absolutely supercharges it! The rise and oven spring you get is incredible; even my sourdough starter was bubbling out of the jar making its bid for escape! For an amateur baker, it's a lovely flour to handle and work with but ultimately unsatisfying. The results are very much like commercially-bought bread. Granted, I have only made one loaf with it so far - 100% white - just to test it. From here on out, I shall be doctoring the flour with heavy quantities of wholewheat, buckwheat, rye and whatever else I can get my hands on. My main negative is that the paper sack broke in transit probably due to the fact that the box it is shipped in is too big, allowing lots of movement. In summary, fun to bake with - results pretty much guaranteed. My wife really likes the taste too, so it will definitely suit some people. I'm also grateful for the reasonable pricing and availability in these difficult times. Don't expect artisan loaf quality and flavour however.

Arrived quickly and very safely and securely packaged. I have used the flour to bake two loaves so far - I was previously using another flour supplied through Amazon but it has increased so much in price I changed to this one based on 5* reviews from other buyers - they aren't wrong! I, and the rest of the family, are very pleased with the taste of the bread that the flour produces. It is as good as the previous flour I used and about half the price. For information I use a very old bread making machine to make the dough and then leave it to stand for an hour before knocking it down and then putting it in the bread tin and leaving to stand for another hour before baking in a hot oven for 35 minutes. Each time it stands the dough doubles in size within an hour which is exactly what one is hoping for. Yeast used is Allinsons quick yeast. I thought that a 16Kg bag might be a bit big but with results like this it will get used pretty quickly I think.

Good quality fine flour, perfect for all kinds of bread. Delivery fast and product in tact everytime up to now. I have had no problems and have used this product again and again. For a regular Baker the 16kg size lasts and keeps well with a cable tie around the outer plastic bag...I have had no clumping or damp. Bread turns out soft and even every time. Good quality product.
