I meant finely ground. But as I wrote those words I was thinking a bit and it is maybe also the quality…. But I have a third idea what it could be. The way it is ground. For example some milling would generate heat and therefore manipulate the structur of the protein(gluten). And this structur is what makes bread…..
Did some search and found this … if someone who reads this want to do a deeep dive, Please let me know the results, thanks
Edit: in europe we have numbers for the flour and they have a relativ to their number a certain amount of minerals. But most european countries are have their own system. But they are mostly comparable
Edit2: did a little search and the waterfree mass of baguette flour should have 0,52-0,62% of minerals. Thats calles t55 to t65 flour. But even then those flour have different proportion of gluten … and worse gluten aint the same everywhere. As I said the milling could affect it but also the kins of wheat and how it is grown…. You see a deep dive into the world of french baguette could be hard… I am happy with beeing often in france and getting the stuff I need there.( I live in germany) … btw same problem with ground almond .. french stuff works perfekt, german stuff not… but for almonds i am sure it is how fine it is ground… because now I ground them myself and it works.
Hope it wasnt tooooo much text and i could help :)
