Flours For
Pâtisserie

Our flour for Biscuits and Shortbread is obtained by grinding wheat with a low protein content, which reduces the flour’s strength and gives it low absorption. These characteristics are essential in obtaining a shortcrust pastry that is impeccable in terms of consistency, colour and shape.

Choux Pastry and Fried Dough flour has particular rheological characteristics that make it ideal for making choux pastry and fried batter recipes such as doughnuts, krapfen and fritters. Its highly extensible gluten content and good absorption value result in batters with an ideal consistency, that are capable of perfectly incorporate gases during the proofing process, and ensure a rapid and homogeneous rise during cooking. Choux pastries are hollow and voluminous, fried products do not absorb oil and are light and soft. The careful protein balance also makes the Choux Pastry and Fried Dough flour perfect for whisked cake batters such as sponges, as it can retain the large quantity of air incorporated into the mixture during preparation.

Croissants and Puff Pastry flour is obtained from high protein grain and combines the right strength with excellent extensibility. These characteristics make it ideal for baking laminated pastries and making puff pastry, even in doughs that use cold technology. Its balance favours lamination and guarantees excellent development, without any shrinkage, during cooking. The finished products have a flaky structure and maintain their shape and aroma for a long time.

Our Panettone flour, today in a renewed formula, is the ideal flour for the preparation of highly leavened products, such as Panettone, Pandoro and Colomba, and for reinvigorating either liquid or solid sourdough starters.
Obtained from soft wheat grain which is naturally rich in gluten, the Panettone flour develops a gluten web with the right balance between extensibility and elasticity, eliminating the rigidity that can lead to the contraction of the product after cooking and its detachment from the baking cup. Its high absorption index facilitates the handling of dough characterized by a high percentages of liquid, fat and dried ingredients, ensuring that the leavened product does not vitrify and remains soft and perfectly textured, for much longer than products made with other Panettone flours.
The dough remains very malleable no matter how high its percentage of hydration and develops consistently both during proving and cooking, for a great leavened product with a regular and harmonious shape.
