French flour is highly regarded for its excellent quality and is used by bakers and pastry chefs around the world. It is made from soft wheat, which has less gluten and is great for making delicate pastries, cakes, and breads with a light and tender texture.
There are different types of French flour, each suited for specific recipes:
Pastry Flour (Type 45): This finely milled flour has low protein content and is perfect for making delicate pastries, cakes, and biscuits.
All-Purpose Flour (Type 55): This is the most common type of French flour. It has slightly higher protein content and is suitable for a wide range of baking, including bread, puff pastry, and some cakes.
Bread Flour (Type 65): This flour is used for traditional French bread, like baguettes. It has a higher protein content, providing a chewy texture and crispy crust.
Semi-Whole Wheat Flour (Type 80 and Type 110): These flours have a higher bran content and are used for bread, adding a nutty flavor and denser texture.
