Clair Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Farine de blé= plain flour Farine de blé avec poudre levante = self-raising flourYou can also buy little packs of 5 or 10 raising agent sachets called levure chimique to add to plain flour.Farine is graded according to how refined it is. The higher the T number, the less refined it is: (source)TypeTeneur en minérauxDénomination couranteT45moins de 0,50 %à pâtisserie ou fleur de farineT55de 0,50 % à 0,60 %blancheT65de 0,62 % à 0,75 %blanche sans additifsT80de 0,75 % à 0,90 %bise ou semi-complèteT110de 1,00 % à 1,20 %complèteT150plus de 1,40 %intégrale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
