Low-Gluten Flour

Shepherd's Grain low gluten flour is a unique premium flour produced from red winter wheat. More of an all-purpose flour, it works well in sheeted and formed dough products. Being that it is low gluten, there won't be as much elasticity to the dough nor will the dough rise as much as dough made with higher gluten flour. This provides for less moisture and more flakiness in the end product.

Shepherd's Grain specializes in working with over 60 growers and farmers in the Pacific Northwest, Southern Alberta and Southern California who believe in using "sustainable agriculture" to preserve and nourish the land that they farm. Two sustainable agriculture methods in particular that Shepherd's Grain farmers use is that of no-till and direct seed. Both of these methods conserve the soil, reduce erosion and increase tilth and fertility of the soil.
