How to Use
Blend Bob's Red Mill Organic Dark Rye Flour with bread flour or all-purpose flour, since rye develops less gluten than wheat and needs help for a good rise. It pairs especially well with an active sourdough starter for a tangy, dense crumb. Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place, and refrigerate after opening to extend freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bob's Red Mill Organic Dark Rye Flour contain allergens?
This rye flour contains gluten and is milled from rye grain only, with no dairy, soy, or tree nuts as formulated. It is not suitable for anyone with celiac disease or a wheat or gluten sensitivity. Always check the printed package label for the current allergen statement before baking, since facility notices can be updated.
How should I store dark rye flour after opening?
Keep Bob's Red Mill Organic Dark Rye Flour in a sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Once the bag is opened, moving it to the refrigerator helps the whole grain flour stay fresh longer, since the natural oils in rye can turn stale faster than in refined flours.
What can I make with dark rye flour?
Dark rye flour is the traditional choice for pumpernickel, sourdough rye, and dense Scandinavian-style loaves, and it also works in rye crackers and flatbreads. Because rye has less gluten-forming protein than wheat, most bakers blend it with bread flour so the dough still rises and holds its shape well.
Where is this organic rye flour made, and what sizes are available?
Bob's Red Mill stone-grinds this organic rye flour at its Milwaukie, Oregon facility from rye grown domestically to USDA organic standards. It comes in a 20 oz bag as a Single unit, with a Pack of 3 available for bakers who go through flour quickly.
