Heirloom Baguette Flour

Stone Mill: Wild Hive Farm (Clinton Corners, NY)

Ingredients: Heirloom Hard Red Wheat and Soft Winter Wheat (11.5% Protein)

Wild Hive Heirloom Baguette Flour is a signature Wild Hive blend crafted for balance, flavor, and everyday versatility. With 11.5% protein, it offers just the right amount of strength for crisp, open-crumb baguettes while remaining flexible enough to use as a true all-purpose flour.

This blend is designed to produce doughs that are easy to handle and responsive to fermentation. Expect good extensibility, reliable oven spring, and a tender crumb with a crisp crust. While it excels in classic baguettes, it performs just as well in a wide range of baking applications—from rustic loaves to pastries and everyday cooking.

Freshly milled and thoughtfully blended, this flour brings more character and aroma than conventional all-purpose flours, without requiring major recipe adjustments.

Best for:
• Baguettes and crusty French-style breads
• Hearth loaves and bâtards
• Sandwich bread and rolls
•Cookies, cakes and everyday baking

Baker’s tip:
If using this flour as an all-purpose substitute, start with standard hydration and adjust as needed. A short rest after mixing helps improve dough extensibility and flavor.

Freshly milled, never bleached or enriched, and foundational to the Wild Hive approach to baking, this flour delivers consistency, versatility, and exceptional flavor—batch after batch.

Wild Hive Farm operates a flour mill using traditional stone grinding methods. They have received considerable recognition for its flour, which is milled in small batches from organic grain purchased from local and regional farmers.
