Bread Flour T55 1KG and Fresh Yeast 500g (+/- 10%)

I've had difficulty sourcing a good T55 flour. It's the best for making a lighter dough bread and very different to many of the popular branded flour widely available. And I can't obtain fresh yeast locally. No bakers anywhere!To my delight, the flour and yeast arrived within 48 hours of placing the order. Both items were packed in a box, but the yeast was further protected in foil chill packing, with additional chilled sachets within that sealed envelope. It was still cool to touch when I unwrapped it, so I was impressed. It has a use by date a couple of weeks ahead and when I opened the yeast wrapper (sealed Hirondelle branded) the yeast is the right colour, crumbly and very yeasty in smell. In other words, perfect.I've used both today and the results are great. Some rolls, a couple of loaves and I still have over 450g of yeast left. It activated quickly and proving was fast and the bread tastes excellent. A nice crust with a light dough. I'll have to be inventive to make the best use of the yeast. It's quite a large quantity for domestic use, so sharing the block would probably be a good idea. It's definitely better than dried yeast in terms of taste and it's very easy to prepare; only took 10 minutes to activate and it was ready to add to the flour. Very pleased and happy to recommend.

Fresh yeast and French-type 55 flour made nice bread

Fresh yeast is more of a faff than dried

So happy with these products. Have just made first batch of pita with them and the quality was light and delicate rather than stodgy. I haven't worked with fresh yeast before and it was very easy to use with excellent results. Very pleased with purchase, quality, packaging and speed of delivery.

This is a very good all purpose flour. I've used it for bread, pizza, cakes and to thicken a sauce. The real bonus was the yeast: very fresh, incredibly professionally wrapped in, each of the yeast block supplied with a cooling bag. this was important as it came from france. I didn't need all the amount yeast but gave it to very appreciative friends (yeast is hard to get nowadays) and I froze the rest. Apparently, it keeps for at least 3 months.

What a fantastic deal! You can’t buy this flour and fresh yeast easily in the UK. Not only is this a good deal at a reasonable price, it came on time with a chiller pack to keep the yeast fresh!Well done

great product Tip if you don't use the yeast, put it in the freezer. use by date is short for this

Good light flour still one packet to use
