Polskie MłynyBasia Tortowa Extra 😉
An extra fine, low-protein wheat flour (type 405) used for cakes and pastries. Protein ~9-10%. It creates very tender, delicate crumbs. Not intended for yeast-risen breads or pizza, as the gluten is minimal, dough will tear easily and lack structure. Occasionally a small portion is blended into pizza dough to soften the crust, but pure tortowa should be reserved for non-yeasted bakes.
