🍞 How to use it in your kitchen
Mix it with wheat flour for bread, cookies and biscuits, or knead it alone into thin rounds cooked on a hot pan. A spoonful in pancake batter or soup thickens it. For Talbina, whisk it into water or milk over gentle heat until thick, then sweeten with honey or top with nuts.
❓ FAQ
How do I make Talbina with this flour?
Whisk two tablespoons into a cup of water or milk and cook until thick.
Can I bake with it alone?
Thin flatbreads work with barley flour alone; for a risen loaf, blend it with wheat flour.
Does the dough need more liquid?
Often yes, because it absorbs more water than white flour.
What do I get from barley flour in my kitchen?
Its toasty, mildly sweet taste gives bread, flatbreads and Talbina a deeper flavour than white flour.
What is the difference between the 500 g and 250 g packs?
Both hold the same flour; 500 g covers several recipes, while 250 g suits a first try.
Is it gluten-free?
No, barley contains gluten.
📦 How to store it
