What it is

Pastry flour is a type of wheat flour milled from soft wheat. It has a lower protein content compared to all-purpose or bread flour, which helps create a more tender texture in baked goods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pastry flour to achieve a delicate, flaky, or tender texture in products. It is commonly found in pastries, pie crusts, cookies, and certain cakes where a light crumb is desired.

Health notes

Pastry flour is a common food ingredient and not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. As a wheat product, it is a source of carbohydrates. There are no specific health controversies associated with pastry flour itself beyond general considerations for wheat consumption, such as gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.

Allergen info

Pastry flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It contains gluten.
