T45 French Style Flour

T45 French Style Flour - SwissBake

Swiss Bake French style flours are traditionally milled by artisan millers and the entire flour range is produced from imported French grown wheat or with a blend of locally grown equivalent wheat varieties.

These quality flours from us are a result of our dedication and passion for well-crafted flour. Each year we produce only a limited quantity of each refined flour on order estimates from our most demanding chefs and bakers.

French classification for flour is based on the resulting amount of residue after processing 10 kg of flour in a 600º C furnace. 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. Similarly, T150 has around 150 grams of mineral contents and is considered as whole-wheat flour due to high bran leftover.

Role Of Salt In Bread Baking - Swissbake

Towards the end of 18th Century, the influence of salt was recognised in baking bread. Salt was seen to have an important role to play in bringing out the flavour of the baked product.

This method also tends to facilitate the forming of gluten bonds during dough formation and results in a slight improvement in dough strength. However, this method also led to the decline in the taste of the bread baked. The common practice today in the production of bre...

The roll was made in the form of the crescent moon; the emblem that still appears on the Turkish flag, and thus the 'Croissant' was born. From its origins until about 1920, the so called Vienna croissant was made from un-laminated, non-flaky, yeast-raised sweet dough. Around t...
