Francine T55 French Organic Wheat Flour, 2.2 lb

Pastry French Flour T55 Appropriate and recommended for use in all your cakes, viennoiseries (croissants), brioches, crepes, and recipes calling for pastry flour. All of our flours are Unbleached, Non-bromated, and GMO-Free! Moulin d'Auguste is a traditional artisan meunier (artisan miller) and all of our imported French flours are produced from French grown wheat or grain in his mill located in Normandie, in the northwest of France. A dedication and passion for well-crafted flour is at the heart of his endeavor, and each year they produce a limited quantity of refined flours sought after by the most demanding pastry chefs and bakers. French classification for flour is based on the resulting amount of residue after processing 10 kg (22 lbs of flour) in a 900_C (1,650_F) oven. T45 or Type 45 is the lowest and whitest flour with only around 45 grams of mineral contents left after the burning process and no part of the bran (outer enveloping shell of the grain) remaining. T65 to T150 are considered whole flour classifications with a higher degree of mineral contents and more bran leftover (higher number means higher bran content). A T45 flour corresponds to a 00 (doppio zero) italian flour type, with T65 a 0 italian type. Gluten (protein) content: ~ 12% Mineral Content: ~ .55 - .60%
