FRENCH FLOUR T SIXTY FIVE (TRADITION) – (25KG)
€32.50
Approved to make authentic ‘French bread’ under French 1993 regulations, this flour is untreated and suitable for long and short fermentation breads. It is mainly used for bread making but can also be used in confectionery, puff pastry, Danish pastry and croissants. Recommended for long fermentation processes. French bakery techniques normally produce more extensible and softer doughs than would normally be expected in white yeasted bread making here in Ireland. This flour is ideally suited to allow the baker remain faithful to French techniques. Can be used in standard bread and soda bread applications, however French flours, as its milled differently to Irish and UK white flours can have different water absorption characteristics.

This flour makes the best sourdough bread: softer crumb and great flavour. I’ve also used for other sourdough recipes (pizza, brioches etc.) always with good results. I have just placed my third order.

Ordered this flour a month ago and have been using it for yeasted bread, sourdough and pizza. It is a lovely flour with great texture and very fun to knead and mix with. I found that the crust, although beautiful is a bit more brittle than Marriages. This flour needs more work and I found a little more water as it can be a bit more dense. I really like it and want to keep trying new flours. It is fantastic for making pizzas too.

Hi Mark, thanks for your feedback, so helpful to others who may not be as familiar with some of the flours we offer. T55 Tradition would not have the same gluten strength as Marriages Uppermost, and of course is milled to serve a different bakery tradition. Happy baking from all at Kells

This flour makes delicious bread, wonderful open crumb texture, crunchy crust every time. I have tried many other flours for my long fermentation breads and this is by far and away the best. Also fantastic for pizza base, batch bread, rolls and doughnuts. Highly recommended!

Luiza (verified owner) –
Great for my sourdough and baguettes. Has less gluten than competitors so I use a little less time mixing (4 minutes) and less water. It does require more fermentation, overnight is ideal. Great service from Kells.
Also I would like to know if you will have sometime French T150 Flour for sale?
Shop Manager –
Hi Luiza,
Apologies for the delay in responding, but thank you for your feedback on using our T55 French Flour. Independent expert feedback like yours is so important for other bakers who may not be as familiar with some of our products. Regarding T150 we have no immediate plans to buy this in for sale to trade or online customers. Happy baking from all at the Kells team.

I must have bought five 25kg sacks of this by now (just for home use) so that tells you how good it is! Good for bread, pizza dough, works well in the bread maker, (we blend it with the Red Egyptian wholemeal, so let me know when it is back in stock after this year’s harvest please!). In fact we don’t bother buying plain flour anymore and find this T55 is good also for pastry and cakes even if the purists might disagree!
