Francine Organic T55 French All-Purpose Flour, 2.2 lb Pack — EU Organic, 10% Protein

Francine Organic T55 is an EU-certified organic French all-purpose flour (T55) milled from soft wheat, formulated for baguettes, brioche, pizza, pasta and everyday baking with a balanced 10% protein.

This flour brings together traceable French farming, mill expertise and a neutral, clean flavor profile. Each 2.2 lb bag is certified organic under EU standards and AB (Agriculture Biologique), with a QR code linking you back to the farms and milling locations. Finely milled T55 behaves differently than standard American all-purpose; it aims to deliver open crumb, reliable oven spring and a crisp crust when used with the right methods.

How does Francine Organic T55 perform for artisan breads and baguettes?

T55 is prized in France for producing the classic open crumb and crackling crust of a good baguette. With roughly 10% protein, it gives enough gluten strength for structure while remaining soft enough to shape long, thin loaves.

• 10% protein for balanced gluten development and oven spring.
• Finely milled soft wheat yields a silky dough texture and good extensibility.
• Traceable sourcing helps maintain consistent milling and baking behavior.

Can I use this flour for enriched doughs like brioche and croissants?

Yes — T55 adapts well to enriched recipes where butter, eggs or sugar are present. Its lower protein than strong bread flours helps tenderize enriched doughs while still providing adequate structure after laminating or proofing.

• Works in laminated doughs (croissants) and enriched doughs (brioche) for even layering and softness.
• Handles longer proofing and chill-rests without becoming overly dense.
• Neutral flavor keeps butter and fillings front and center.

What difference will I notice compared with typical American all-purpose flour?

Expect a softer crumb, different hydration response and a cleaner flavor. Francine T55 is designed for the French baking tradition: it absorbs water differently, needs slight technique adjustments, and rewards careful shaping and scoring.

• Softer, silkier dough with modest gluten strength versus high-protein AP or bread flours.
• Better surface crisp and authentic French crumb when shaped and baked correctly.
• No chemical aftertaste—clean, mild wheaty flavor for versatile use.

How is the flour sourced and certified?

Francine sources wheat from over 10,000 cooperative farmers and mills it at Grands Moulins de Paris. Each bag carries EU organic and AB certification, a Nutri-Score A and a QR code so you can trace the supply chain back to harvest and milling documents.

• EU and AB certified organic — no GMOs, glyphosate-free, no additives.
• Traceability via QR code links to farm and milling records.
• Produced by cooperatives and a historic mill with professional bakery reach.
