Dominique Ansel, who inspired a new wave of culinary hybrids with the invention of the Cronut in 2013, is supporting home cooks and professionals with the launch of Dominique Ansel’s Pastry Flour. Created in partnership with century-old French milling company Grands Moulins de Paris, this flour provides exceptional quality to cooks, especially as they prepare to make treats from Ansel's third cookbook, Life's Sweetest Moments: Simple, Stunning Recipes and Their Heartwarming Stories, set to launch in October 2024.
Notably, this soft wheat flour is milled to a finer texture than traditional all-purpose flour. Ansel imports his preferred Grands Moulins de Paris flour for use in his bakeries and now, consumers will be able to use the same high-quality flour for their freshly baked pastries.
