Title: Type 55 flour
Post by: goldfish on February 01, 2013, 08:59:47 am

My DD is in France and has been using Type 55 flour - a strong white bread flour.  Does anyone know if this is available in Australia?

GF, I just had a quick google for you. The only reference I can find to this flour in Australia was in 2006. Doesn't look promising :(

I hope someone can come on here and prove me wrong :-\

Thanks, Amy - I googled, too - not overly encouraging is it! :)

I'm wondering if it's vaguely equivalent to the 00.  Frozzie might be able to shed some light this when she comes on . . .

It seems to be the flour that the french favour most for baguettes.
