Hands up if you were taught to avoid flour. Oh, so that would be loads of us then. For years, carbs have been demonised but while potatoes, rice and pasta may have been somewhat brought back into the fold, flour is still often dismissed as being unhealthy.

That’s simply inaccurate. Wholegrain flour is packed with fibre – making it a really bloody important tool in the fight to get people to consume more. 90% of Brits don’t eat enough fibre, despite the fact that it’s known to reduce the chances of heart attacks, strokes and type 2 diabetes. While it can be a bit of a slog eating wholegrain breads and snacks all the time, mixing whole flour with plain can increase your fibre intake while making it easier to digest. Don’t forget too, that most plain flour is fortified with hard-to-find vitamins.

These pesto and parmesan dough twists mix both kinds of flour for a good dose of gut-loving fibre, and also boasts a dose of walnuts which are known to improve brain health and boost mood.
