Best Uses

This flour is tailor-made for “slow baking” and long cold fermentation, which allows the natural aromas of the wheat to develop.

  • Traditional Baguettes: The primary use. It yields the classic “honeycomb” (alveolated) crumb and a rustic, crunchy crust.
  • Artisan Loaves: Ideal for any rustic bread requiring a sturdy structure and a deep, wheaty flavor.
  • Focaccia & Ciabatta: Can be used for high-hydration Mediterranean breads that need a balance of strength and extensibility.

Why Morning Import Recommends It

Foricher’s T65 Bagatelle is the only flour that allows you to recreate the true “Boulangerie” experience at home or in a professional kitchen. Because it is additive-free and Label Rouge certified, it requires a bit more patience and technique (longer fermentation), but the reward is a bread with significantly more flavor, better digestibility, and a superior aroma compared to standard bread flours.
