Wessex Mill French Bread Flour 5 x 1.5 Kg

Wessex Mill French Bread Flour 5 × 1.5 kg is a traditional T65-style flour milled for classic French baking. Its medium protein level and finely milled texture create doughs that develop excellent extensibility, giving baguettes and French-style loaves their signature light, open crumb and crisp, golden crust.

This blend includes malted wheat flour to enhance fermentation and flavour, plus a touch of dextrose to support browning and crust colour. Ascorbic acid is added as a traditional bakery improver to help strengthen the dough structure, creating reliable rise and oven spring — ideal for home bakers aiming to achieve boulangerie-quality results.

Perfect for baguettes, boules, batards, pain de campagne and other French-inspired breads, this flour performs well with longer fermentations, preferments, and higher hydration doughs. The 5 × 1.5 kg format offers excellent value for keen bakers, micro-bakeries and batch baking.
