Wessex Mill French Bread Flour

1.5kg

Awarded 1 star in the Great Taste Awards. Judges comment "Made a perfect well-risen loaf with good crumb texture and taste." Milled in France from French wheat. It gives a light open textured loaf with a crisp crust.This flour is T65 for making bread and baguettes.The 65 refers to the amonunt of ash that is left after burning the flour. The French have always used local wheat. It is low in protein. Protein when mixed with water forms gluten.Gluten is like chewing gum and is unique in wheat. It allows the gas generated by the yeast to be trapped in bubbles. The stronger the wheat the smaller the bubbles.The English have historically because of the Empire imported wheat from India Australia South Americas America and Canada. These wheats are strong in protein allowing English bakers to make small bubbles. It also allows more water to be added if you then add a bit of fat it allows the loaf to last for longer.

We use online ordering from Dikes to support my elderly housebound parents . I can’t express our gratitude enough. Every member of staff is so helpful especially at point of delivery. You can order the night before for delivery the next day or telephone orders through also. The online ordering has also been made a lot easier by a system upgrade in last 18 months or so and you can tag favourite products for repeat ordering. The shop itself is clean , well stocked with local produce too and the numerous staff are always helpful. Some prices may be higher in chain supermarkets but Dikes wins on service and helpfulness particularly for our needs. Thank you so much . Mrs B Davis

I live in London though I originate from the Dorset area, so when I came across the Dike and Sons website I was hopeful but a little apprehensive as to whether they would be able to post to me, one of the items shown on the website. A quick email to enquire and they replied the same day that they would be happy to post and it would not be a problem. Three days later the item arrived well packed and in perfect condition.

Now that is what I call customer service. So helpful and efficient, definitely 5 star.
