A baked good is only as enjoyable as the flour it’s baked with. And if anyone can confirm that, it’s James Beard Foundation Award Winner Dominique Ansel, named the World’s Best Pastry Chef by World’s 50 Best.
“Flour is one of the important things when it comes to baking,” Ansel tells Food & Wine.

Ansel imports it Stateside specifically to use at his eponymous bakeries.
