Specialmjöl

Specialmjöl is a Swedish term that translates to "special flour." It is not a single, standardized type of flour but rather a category of flours designed for specific baking purposes or with unique properties. The term can encompass a variety of flours that deviate from standard wheat flour.

These flours might be milled from different grains, such as rye, barley, or spelt, each contributing distinct flavors and textures to baked goods. Specialmjöl can also refer to flours that have been processed in a particular way, for example, finely milled or coarsely ground, or those with a higher protein content suitable for artisan bread making.

Additionally, specialmjöl can include flours that are gluten-free, such as almond flour, coconut flour, or blends of various gluten-free grains and starches, catering to dietary restrictions. The specific composition and intended use of specialmjöl will vary depending on the brand and product. Bakers often use specialmjöl to achieve particular results in taste, texture, or dietary suitability that standard all-purpose flour might not provide.
