Nanterre brioche: a quiet classic of French baking

Brioche Nanterre Bakery Distribution Warehouse-Farine Foricher

Here is a French classic: Nanterre brioche. No braiding, no extras, just balls of dough packed into a loaf pan, fusing together as they bake for a stringy crumb and clean slices. Usually made with T45 (a strong French wheat flour), it’s just as delicious with T55 “Cocorico,” with a slightly more rustic crumb. A little twist… that works beautifully. Discover it now!

Traceability and origin of ingredients for French flours

Today, traceability and the origin of ingredients have become central elements, particularly for staple foods such as flour. Guaranteeing flour quality and safety requires strict standards and sustainable farming methods, as is the case with French flour production. This traceability is a guarantee of authenticity, offering a great competitive advantage for artisan pastry-bakers in the United States who wish to offer their customers high-quality products….

What about American flours?

Flour has been a key component of the world’s diet for centuries, whether for baking, pastry-making. But there is a wide variety of flours. They don’t all have the same specific characteristics and are not all dedicated to the same uses, so it’s sometimes difficult to find your way around.

Why are French flours increasingly popular in the United States?
