Baking ingredients: From leavening to candied lemon peel
Which baking ingredients do you need?
Whether you want to make bread or a cake, most recipes include some classic baking ingredients. These include flours as well as raising agents. You can't really imagine a dough without salt either. Seeds, nuts, kernels and many other refining agents give your creations that special touch, which ultimately results in a sweet cake or savory bread.
Flours & grains
Whether made from spelt, wheat, rye or more unusual origins such as almonds, buckwheat, hemp or linseed - flours form the basis for baking. They are therefore essential. We offer numerous classic varieties, but also special variants, naturally in bakery quality. For example, have you never worked with pumpkin seed flour before? Then why not give it a try!
If you would like to go one step further and make your own flour, you have also come to the right place. Because here you will also find different types of grain (e.g. spelt, rye, wheat, barley, oats or buckwheat), which you can continue to work with as you wish.
Our wide range includes
- Specialty flours, e.g. from: Bamboo, beans, buckwheat, einkorn, emmer, guar gum, hemp, hazelnut, millet, kamut, coconut, pumpkin seeds, linseed, arrowroot, rice, black cumin, sweet lupins, tapioca and grape seeds
- Whole grains such as: Buckwheat, spelt, einkorn, emmer, barley, oats, kamut, rye and wheat
Leavening agents and other bakery improvers
For a dough to succeed, it needs a leavening agent. This can be traditional baker's yeast, but it can also be sourdough, which has been used for thousands of years. Both ensure that a mixture of ingredients turns into a delicious baked product, as they take care of the fermentation and thus the air and aroma. However, baking yeast or baking powder can also take on this task.
You can obtain these leavening agents from us:
- Baker's yeast: Classic leavening agent for many baked goods.
- Sourdough: Traditional leavening agent that provides flavor and loosening.
- Baking ferment: Mildly acidic dough leavening agent, ideal for yeast-free baking.
- Baking powder: Well-known agent for loosening dough quickly.
To further optimize the baking properties, we also offer you other baking improvers. These include gluten and starch, for example, as well as baking malt. Just try out these ingredients and let yourself be infected by the spirit of discovery - you will be amazed at the quality of your baked products!

Organic baking ingredients to refine
Whether bread or rolls - they definitely benefit in terms of taste from seeds such as linseed or hempseed. Seeds and nuts make baked goods just as delicious. Who doesn't love a delicious pumpkin seed bread? Or do you prefer poppy seed bread? The black seeds are also great as a filling in a cake. Ingredients such as grated coconut, raisins or candied lemon peel are also suitable for refining such sweet baked goods.
