‘Oast to Host’ launches new wheat-free and gluten-free flour range
Gluten and wheat free bakery brand, Oast to Host, has launched two new flours designed to create the perfect pastry and versatile cake sponge. The two flour mixes are completely gluten-free, wheat-free and vegetarian.
The Cake Flour creates a really moist light sponge which is perfect for sticky toffee pudding, scones, blinis, biscuits and of course, cakes.
The multi-award-winning pastry flour is said to be easy to use, roll and bake, making it perfect for beginners or experts. The flour blend is also extremely versatile and can be made into sweet, plain or dairy-free shortcrust, puff pastry or shortbread.
The puff pastry is an exciting development, which delivers a light crisp layered pastry suitable for fabulous cheese straws, sausage rolls, pies and tatins. And the shortcrust pastry is crisp and buttery with a great texture. It’s perfect for blind baking and will create a superb base for your filling, enhancing the eating experience.
Oast to Host co-founder Sally Black says; “gluten-free pastry is notoriously tricky to get right using the usual wheat replacement flours. Co-founder Claire and I have spent years iterating the recipe to get it absolutely perfect. It has been a joy that so many professional and celebrity chefs, together with home cooks have come back to us with their positive feedback. We weren’t planning to launch our flours for retail until we were approached by a major supermarket, we know the customer demand is there and it’s time for us to share our secret!” The range is available in environmentally friendly paper-based recyclable packaging
The flour range is available online RRP £4.50 for 450g (minimum online order 2) or a smaller bag RRP £2.33 for 195g (minimum online order 3) from www.oasttohost.com.
