The wheat is stone-milled on the family farm, then sifted to produce a white flour with an extraction rate of 84%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtraction describes the proportion of the original grain retained as finished flour after milling and sifting. During sifting, some of the bran and other grain material is separated from the flour. At 84% extraction, the finished flour retains a greater proportion of the original wheat than a typical refined white flour, but less than a 100% extraction wholemeal flour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaboratory testing of this flour has shown relatively high water absorption and good mixing stability. The dough took time to develop under controlled mixing conditions and maintained its consistency well once developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese results provide useful information about the flour's mixing characteristics, although they don't directly predict how it will behave in every recipe. Bakers may need to adjust hydration, mixing and fermentation according to their method and the dough's response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Grower and Miller\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Olm family has been farming at Brigalow in Queensland's Western Downs since 1908.
