T55,
You can get great results from a flour with 13% protein.

Thank you for your response.
However, Chef Antonio Bachour in the course recommends using T45 flour. After researching online, I found that almost all chefs suggest that T45 is good for cakes because it has low protein content and they are recommended to use T55 for croissants and baked goods. Now you are telling me that T55 is better for croissants. Could it be that Chef Antonio Bachour mistakenly recommended T45 flour?

Hi Chef, in my opinion dont get stuck on T45/55 rating as it’s just the mineral content. This Grau Rouge flour mentioned is t45 but most importantly it has around 13% protein… that’s what you want!
Also I find as long as the flour comes from Europe/Canada it is good for croissant. As it stretches nicely. Australian/NZ flour I find isn’t stretchy and a bit gummy.

Hey, I’m in Australia. The flour we produce here is great for Croissant. You have to understand how to use it.
We have a Miller here that produces T45 and T55 flour.

The brand of flour that the chef recommends is Gruau Rouge viennoiserie from France, it is a T45 Wheat flour, ground specifically for the production of pastries; such as croissants, brioche, danish rolls, empanadas.
T45 Wheat Flour is essential for making well-leavened and soft cakes.T45 wheat flour is made from durum wheat, which has a high protein content (12.9 g per 100 g).
This high protein content provides improved finishing properties, allowing for increased volume and tenderness of the product.
Perfect for preparing bakery products rich in butter, eggs and sugar.
It allows excellent hydration of the dough and tolerance to crumb.
You can find this information on the same provider’s website.Greetings.

No thanks, the photo was to highlight 13% protein flour. It is NOT Bachour recipe.
