Semi-Whole Wheat Flour T80 Organic

What does T80 mean on a wheat flour?

T80 means 0.80 g of minerals per 100 g of dry matter. The Kazidomi semi-wholemeal flour therefore sits between a white flour and a wholegrain one: part of the bran is kept, the colour is slightly beige, and the organic wheat is stone ground with nothing else added.

Semi-wholemeal T80 or white T65 — what changes in the oven?

The Kazidomi T65 gives a pale crumb and a dough that is easy to work. The T80 brings a more present wheat taste and a slightly denser crumb, while staying a long way from a wholegrain. It takes up a little more water: adjust the hydration by hand rather than by the scales.

Which recipes is it for?

Country loaves, seeded breads, pizza dough and rustic brioches all show it off. Kazidomi T80 also works in baking, in loaf cakes, crumbles and shortcrust, where its beige colour and cereal taste register without dominating. It substitutes for a white flour measure for measure.

Can I blend it with other flours?

Yes, and that is its most common use. Kazidomi T80 works as the base and takes a share of rye, buckwheat or einkorn to change the taste of a loaf. A third of the total in the secondary flour is enough to mark a recipe without compromising how the dough rises.

Does a T80 flour contain gluten?

Yes. This is a wheat flour, so it contains gluten, and the Kazidomi listing mentions possible traces of sesame. It therefore suits neither a gluten-free diet nor anyone allergic to wheat. The bag holds 1000 g and keeps away from heat and damp.
