Grain
Skyfall
C tier
Skyfall is a modern UK winter wheat with Group 1 breadmaking quality, widely grown for premium domestic milling. It combines high specific weight, good protein potential, and consistent loaf performance under UK agronomy, making it a staple of commercial bread-flour grists. Flour from Skyfall-type Group 1 wheat is strong enough for plant bakery pan bread and artisan white loaves, often blended with other Group 1 and Group 2 lots. It represents contemporary European hard-milling winter wheat rather than heritage flavour landraces.
