In the world of pastry, the quality of ingredients is essential to creating culinary masterpieces. That’s why the collaboration between Grands Moulins de Paris and renowned chef Dominique Ansel is making waves.
A partnership between two leading names renowned for their expertise
Grands Moulins de Paris has partnered with Dominique Ansel, a French pastry chef based in New York. He notably worked at Fauchon before moving to the United States.
His bakery, the Dominique Ansel Bakery, is one of the most renowned in New York. He is also the creator of the cronut (a portmanteau of croissant and donut).
When making his pastries, Dominique Ansel uses Grands Moulins de Paris professional flours for their premium quality, which comes from grinding French wheat. As leading names in the United States, it was only natural that we decided to collaborate on creating a line 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 partnership between Dominique Ansel and Grands Moulins de Paris is a "pastry flour" sold in a convenient 750-gram resealable, leak-proof package.
An exceptional pastry flour
"Pastry flour" was specifically designed for baking, with a finer texture than standard all-purpose flour (AP). Its light, airy texture, combined with a lower gluten content, makes it the ideal ingredient for helping American consumers succeed in their most delicate baking creations. Whether you’re making moist cakes, chiffon cakes, light pancakes, or airysponge cakes, this flour is designed to deliver a soft consistency and a flawless texture.
A product that has already received rave reviews from the press
This new pastry flour has already been featured in renowned publications. The 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” column.
In addition, Food & Wine, an influential culinary magazine with nearly 12 million readers, published an exclusive interview with Dominique Ansel, highlighting the product’s premium quality. In the interview, Dominique Ansel shares his enthusiasm about finally being able to offer this flour to American consumers, noting that Grands Moulins de Paris has always been a key element of his cooking since his early days in France.
