What is your best chapati flour?

Written by Shipton Mill

Question

Can you please help me choose the right flour for making chapatis or naan bread, I've tried 701 and 704 but they are too fine and I also tried 706 and 703 and it's too coarse. I need something in between. We did try to mix them but they don't come out right, so can you help me with this one please?

Answer

We do a product called Swiss Dark and this is close to the medium chapati flour and then for the dark there would be the Organic Stoneground Canadian wholemeal.

**UPDATE - we now produce 'Medium Atta' for making Indian style breads**

Hope this will help you

Thanks

Centuries of milling

A mill was first recorded on this site in the Domesday book of 1086. We follow in the footsteps of generations of Millers. There is a sense of place and continuity at the heart of what we do.

Traditional Grains

We select our grains by their excellence, not the average. It is up to us to then capture and distil these flavours from the grain into flour through our precise and expert milling processes.

Protecting the environment

Shipton Mill has been guided from day one by the mission to leave the earth in a better place than we inherit it. Being a champion for regenerative organic agriculture is one strand of this.
