Cortez Milling Co. Blue Bird Flour

This ultra-finely ground, high protein flour from Cortez Milling Co. in Southwest Colorado is perfect for making soft, tender, chewy tortillas and flat bread. They use red winter wheat purchased from local dryland farmers, whose higher gluten content makes dough that is pliable and resists tearing. This softer, more finely ground flour is neutral in flavor, a touch sweet with no bitterness. We also love that Blue Bird flour is bagged in 5-pound muslin cotton bags with the iconic blue bird print on the front, which can be repurposed in a number of fun ways.

The fluffy-chewy fried flatbread is a tribe staple. “We wouldn’t be in business without the Navajo people,” Trent Tanner, part owner of Blue Bird flour, told the Navajo Times. “It’s our philosophy that it’s their flour and we make it for them.”[/banner-text-break]Use for making flour tortillas, flatbreads, and other breads.[/how-to-use-break] ​KITCHEN NOTES
