Organic Plain Flour
Description
Our Organic Plain Flour is made from the finest organically grown wheat and milled to a fine texture, making it a versatile staple for a wide range of everyday baking and cooking needs. Unlike strong flour, it has a lower protein content, typically around **9-11%**, which makes it ideal for recipes where a tender, light crumb is preferred.
How It Differs from Strong Flour
Organic plain flour contains less protein compared to strong flour, resulting in less gluten formation. This makes it perfect for creating soft, crumbly textures in baked goods like cakes, biscuits, and pastries. While strong flour is designed for yeast-based recipes like bread, plain flour is better suited for non-yeasted recipes that require a delicate structure.
Uses
Organic plain flour is incredibly versatile and can be used for:
- Cakes and Biscuits**: Its lower gluten content ensures light, soft cakes and crumbly biscuits.
- Pastries**: Ideal for making shortcrust and puff pastries, as it keeps the dough tender and flaky.
- Sauces and Gravies**: Excellent for thickening sauces, gravies, and soups due to its fine texture.
- Pancakes and Flatbreads**: Use in batters for pancakes or to make soft, pliable flatbreads.
Whether you’re baking delicious cakes or preparing sauces, our Organic Plain Flour provides the perfect consistency and lightness. With no artificial additives, it's a pure, wholesome choice for all your baking and cooking needs.
