Francine Organic T55 French All-Purpose Flour 2x2.2lb — EU Organic, 10% Protein for Baguettes & Pastry

Francine Organic T55 is an EU-certified organic French all-purpose flour (10% protein) designed for baguettes, brioche, pizza, pastries and everyday baking.

This two-pack of 2.2 lb bags brings authentic French milling and traceability to your kitchen: wheat grown by a cooperative of French farmers, milled by Grands Moulins de Paris, and verified by EU organic standards with a QR code on every bag. T55 is a soft-wheat mill-fraction chosen for its balanced gluten strength and fine texture, producing an open crumb, lively oven spring and a clean, natural flavor that many home bakers and professionals prefer over standard American all-purpose flour.

How does Francine Organic T55 differ from regular all-purpose flour?

Unlike typical American all-purpose blends, T55 is milled from soft French wheat with a specific protein target (about 10%), which changes dough behavior during mixing, fermenting and baking. Expect a lighter, more tender crumb and an easier, more elastic dough handling experience.

• Protein ~10% for balanced strength and extensibility
• Finer milling produces delicate texture and lift
• Organic farming with no glyphosate, GMOs, or additives
• Traceable supply chain via QR code to the farm

What recipes and techniques is this flour best for?

T55 is versatile: it performs well in long-fermentation breads, enriched doughs like brioche, laminated pastries, pizza bases and delicate cakes. It responds particularly well to recipes that rely on crumb openness and crisp crusts.

• Baguettes and bâtard loaves with crisp crusts and open crumb
• Sourdough and artisan loaves with reliable oven spring
• Brioche, croissants and laminated doughs for light, buttery layers
• Pizza and flatbreads that need stretch without toughness

How should I adjust my technique when using T55?

You may need small tweaks compared with all-purpose flour: slightly less water at first, gentler mixing, and attention to fermentation times because T55 develops differently. Test and adapt hydration and kneading to get your preferred crumb and chew.

• Start with slightly reduced hydration, then adjust by feel
• Shorter or gentler kneading can preserve tenderness
• Watch fermentation — dough may rise faster or feel more elastic
• Works in bread machines but check recommended water ratios
