Alexis Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Well, it looks and smells wonderfull. Am forcing myself to wait until 4.45 to have the crust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 This is good news. Our local Champion supermarket sells Francine flour so I'll ask them to order some. Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewdyshen Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 You should be able to find this flour throughout France as I found it in La Souterraine (Creuse). I've made wonderful loaves with the Multigrain and can really recommend it. Yet one more item that I don't need from the UK!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 No sign of it here in this part of the Rhone Alps as yet, I have taken to looking for it everytime I go into a supermarket.I still like Intermarche's own 'Moulin' brand Farine Complet, not expensive and makes very tasty loaves.

Millymollymandy Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 It's appeared now in my Carrefour at Fougeres (35). However it's really expensive at over 2 euros a bag. Think I'll try it mixed with their cheapo white flour at 31 cents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 What 2 euros a bag. Well, I may give it a try, but my cheap and cheerful flour makes wonderful bread, so this stuff would have to be pretty exceptional for me to buy it regularly.

Alexis Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Ooh! That seems dear. I don't think that I paid that much. I think I worked out that for a bag of flour and a 40g fresh yeast - 35ct. - it cost 1€ a BIG loaf. That can last us a week! Stays fresh too.What with a slice of toast, maybe a bit for his cheese.... I used to buy bread and give most of it to the chickens. If you make a lot though, I see your point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkin Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I bought some yesteday at LeClerc's in Rochefort. One packet of farine pour pain at €2.10 and one packet of farine pain campagne at €2.30. Not cheap but I want to try them.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 If it is that price, there is no way I will be buying it. I cannot even imagine how I could justify paying such an amount out for flour. My bread is usually delicious, just how much better than delicious can it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jec Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 They have it in Carrefour at Avranches - white and multi-cereal.Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 We've just had some bread made from the Francine white flour and it was really good so even though the flour was 2.10 euro I'll be buying it again. It is 1.5 kilos instead of the usual 1 kilo. But a big difference in the price I pay for farine complet at the local mill - 2.45 euro for 5 kilos. Pat.
