Semi-coarse Wheat Flour BIO • white flour • baking and thickening sauces and soups • 1 kg
Semi-coarse wheat flour is medium-ground bio white flour from wheat (Triticum aestivum) for poured and beaten doughs. It is suitable for bundt cakes, gingerbread, fruit cakes, poppy seed cakes, and yeast buns.
You can also use it in pies and for homemade pastries when you want a fluffy, slightly coarser crumb. In the kitchen, it is also practical for thickening sauces and soups, preparing roux, and crispy batters; it is pure flour without added substances.
PROBIO – Semi-coarse Wheat Flour – Pour and Beaten Doughs, Universal for the Kitchen
Semi-coarse Wheat Flour is a medium-ground organic white flour from wheat (Triticum aestivum) for everyday and festive baking. It offers a pure taste and reliable dough handling.
It excels in pour and beaten doughs – for bundt cakes, gingerbread, fruit cakes, poppy seed cakes, and yeast buns. Equally suitable for pies and homemade pastries with an airy, slightly coarser crumb.
Wheat offers advantages that other flours typically lack: gluten elasticity for volume and fluffiness, exceptional dough predictability, and a neutral taste that doesn't overpower spices. Its balanced composition supports a nice golden color and crispy crust.
Semi-coarse grinding provides support to the dough and promotes even baking. Pastries then hold their shape, are fluffy, and retain the delicate texture favored in traditional recipes.
Besides sweet baking, it's also great for the kitchen: for thickening sauces and soups, preparing roux, and stable batters. PROBIO emphasizes gentle processing and grain quality for consistent results.
Did You Know?
- Gluten in wheat flour creates a flexible network when mixed, which holds CO₂ from leavening. This gives baked goods better volume, shape, and fluffiness.
- Ash content (minerals) determines the “type” of flour: the lower it is, the whiter the flour (more endosperm, less bran and germ). Higher types tend to have more flavor and fiber but a denser crumb.
- A short dough rest after mixing (autolysis 10–20 min) allows the flour to better absorb water and develop gluten. The dough then processes more easily and baked goods have a more uniform structure.

Main Benefits of Semi-coarse Wheat Flour from PROBIO
- “Medium granularity” for a fluffy crumb – semi-coarse wheat easily integrates and provides a clean cut without stickiness.
- Reliable performance in pour and beaten doughs – dough holds shape, bakes to a golden brown, and has even leavening for bundt cakes, buns, or pies.
- Light, neutral taste – does not interfere with the profile of desserts or savoury dishes; enhanced by Maillard browning for a nice crust.
- Gluten elasticity for volume – natural gluten creates a flexible network; baked goods are fluffy and maintain structure.
- Versatile use in the kitchen – ideal for bundt cakes, gingerbread, poppy seed cakes, fruit cakes, and yeast buns; also great for thickening sauces and batters.
- Organic origin and gentle milling – sourced from organic farming, freshly milled at PROBIO for consistent and repeatable results.
Coarse wheat flour combines medium granularity, neutral taste, and reliable dough handling – a certainty for sweet and savoury recipes.
For delicate cakes, creams, and sponge bases, choose fine wheat flour; if aiming for loaves, rolls, or yeast dough with a firmer structure, opt for Wheat Bread Flour.
How does wheat differ from other grains?
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) contains natural gluten, which creates an elastic gluten network. This traps CO₂ and gives baked goods volume, shape, and fluffiness – achieving this with gluten-free grains is more difficult without blends. Thanks to this elasticity, wheat is a "bread" crop for a wide range of doughs.
Technologically, it excels in milling versatility and processing behaviour. It offers a range of types (fine/coarse/very coarse), allowing precise tuning of hydration, kneading, rising, and baking. Doughs are well predictable and maintain structure, while with rye or oats, the crumb is more fragile and requires different methods.
In terms of taste, wheat is rather neutral, allowing spices and cocoa to stand out; it also tends to Maillard browning for a golden crust. Nutritionally, it provides complex carbohydrates and plant proteins; whole grain also adds fibre from bran.
Types of flours we offer
- Plain Wheat Flour – versatile for delicate doughs, cakes, and thickening; smooth texture and reliable rising.
- Finely Grounded Whole Rye Flour – ideal for sourdough and yeast bread; higher fibre content, rustic aroma, and elastic crumb.
- Raw Coconut Flour from Ceylon – naturally gluten-free; rich in fibre, suitable for desserts, pancakes, and gluten-free baking.
- Raw Flour from Green Bananas – naturally gluten-free; neutral taste, great for baking, thickening, and porridge.

Who is behind PROBIO
The company PROBIO was founded in the 90s by Ing. Martin Hutař and Ing. Karel Matěj, who decided to focus on the production of organic food. The small company has grown into the largest organic food producer in the Czech Republic with more than 120 employees, three organic mills and its own organic farm.
They focus on traditional crops such as spelt and buckwheat and bring them to modern customers in the form of quality organic food, including gluten-free products produced in a certified mill.
The vision of PROBIO is to promote organic farming and protect the planet for future generations. They are bringing traditional crops back into the menu and linking production with education, for example through excursions and annual Biosavings.
Their combination of ecology, quality and tradition makes them a pioneer of organic food in the Czech Republic.
The exceptionality of traditional crops
Since its establishment, the company PROBIO has focused on the processing of traditional crops that were a common part of Czech agriculture in the past. These crops include, for example, spelt, buckwheat, single or double grain.
These ingredients not only enrich the diet, but thanks to their rich nutritional composition they are real "superfoods".
PROBIO brings these forgotten treasures back into our lives and at the same time supports organic farming, which is kind to nature and preserves healthy soil and water for future generations.
Inspiration for customers
PROBIO brings its customers not only a wide range of organic food, but also new options to enrich their daily diet.
Through original mixes such as barley fritters or buckwheat gingerbread, they introduce customers to lesser-known but nutritious foods. These mixtures are prepared to make it easy and quick to prepare tasty dishes.
PROBIO thus becomes an inspiration for everyone who wants to discover new tastes and at the same time support a healthier and more sustainable way of eating.
From spelt to Czech superfoods
Spelled was one of the first crops that PROBIO returned to the Czech fields, and to this day it is a symbol of their efforts to restore traditional agricultural values.
The experience of our ancestors inspired society to further develop and discover crops that were once a common part of the diet - buckwheat, single or double grain.
These crops, now called 'superfoods', are rich in nutrients and bring not only a variety of flavours but also significant health benefits.
Under the brand PROBIO you will find a whole range of these products, either in the form of basic ingredients or easily prepared mixtures. Each product is associated with a love for the land and respect for nature, which gives Czech superfoods a uniqueness you won't find elsewhere.

PROBIO - quality organic food
Return of the spelt to the Czech fields
In the 1990s, PROBIO revived the cultivation of spelled, which was almost forgotten at the time.
Thanks to close collaboration with gene banks and our own research, we have been able to reintroduce this cereal and demonstrate its unique properties.
Today, spelt, along with products such as flour and pasta, is the mainstay of their offer.
