Organic White Flour 

Shipton Mill Organic White Flour No.4 is a strong white bread flour chosen for bread making when you want reliable dough strength and a clean, classic wheat flavour. It is milled from a blend of organic English and continental wheats, with crops selected for their naturally higher protein, which helps dough hold its shape, rise well and bake into a loaf with a good, satisfying chew. It works beautifully for everyday loaves, sourdough baking and weekend projects like pizza bases, giving you a flour that is easy to work with and versatile across many recipes.

What does the No.4 mean on Shipton Mill flour?

No.4 is Shipton Mill’s own product name and reference for this particular organic white flour, used to keep ordering consistent across different pack sizes and suppliers.

Why does strong white flour work so well for bread?

Strong white flour contains more of the wheat proteins that form gluten when mixed with water, which gives dough elasticity and structure. That structure helps trap gas during proving, supporting better volume and a pleasing chew in the finished loaf.

Do you need to change the water when switching flours?

Often, yes. Different flours absorb water differently depending on the wheat and the milling, so it is sensible to hold back a little of the water at first, then add gradually until the dough feels supple rather than tight or dry. This is especially helpful when you are comparing flours from different harvests or blends.
