In the world of pastry making, the quality of ingredients is essential for creating culinary masterpieces. That's why the collaboration between Grands Moulins de Paris and renowned chef Dominique Ansel is such big news.
The partnership between two big names renowned for their expertise
Grands Moulins de Paris has partnered with Dominique Ansel, a French pastry chef based in New York. He worked at Fauchon before moving to the United States.
His bakery, Dominique Ansel Bakery, is one of the most renowned in New York. He is also the creator of the cronut (a combination of croissant and donut).
Dominique Ansel uses Grands Moulins de Paris professional flours to make his pastries because of their premium quality, which comes from grinding French wheat. As leading figures in the United States, it was only natural that we decided to collaborate on creating a range of flours for American consumers who are passionate about baking and want to bake at home like professionals.
The first flour launched as part of this co-branding initiative between Dominique Ansel and Grands Moulins de Paris is a pastry flour sold in a convenient resealable, leak-proof 750g pack.
An exceptional pastry flour
Pastry flour was developed specifically for baking, with a finer texture than standard all-purpose flour (AP). Its light and airy texture, combined with a lower gluten content, makes it the ideal ingredient for American consumers to successfully bake their most delicate pastries. Whether used to make moist cakes, chiffon cakes, light pancakes, or airysponge cakes, this flour is designed to provide a soft consistency and impeccable texture.
A product already acclaimed by the press
This new baking flour has already been featured in renowned publications. The New York Times, one of the most widely read newspapers in the United States with over 264 million readers, highlighted this collaboration in its "Off the Menu" section.
In addition, Food & Wine, an influential culinary magazine with nearly 12 million readers, published an exclusive interview with Dominique Ansel, highlighting the premium quality of the product. Dominique Ansel shares his enthusiasm at finally being able to offer this flour to American consumers, recalling that Grands Moulins de Paris has always been a key element of his cuisine since his early days in France.
Flours available in stores and online
This collaboration with Dominique Ansel is not only an opportunity for amateur cooks to get their hands on professional-quality flour, but also a testament toFrench excellence in baking and pastry making. With this flour, the entire French baking tradition is being exported, allowing everyone to recreate the delights of the great pastry shops at home.
