Professional Flour for Shortcrust Pastry Production
Carr's Starlight Pastry Flour 16kg is a specialist bakery flour developed for the production of high-quality shortcrust pastry and other low-gluten bakery applications. Formulated to produce a tender, short eating texture, this flour is an excellent choice for professional bakers, pie manufacturers, catering operations, and foodservice businesses looking for consistent pastry performance.
Unlike strong bread flours that are designed to maximise gluten development, Starlight Pastry Flour is specifically milled to create pastry products with a crisp bite, delicate crumb, and excellent eating quality. Its lower protein content helps produce pastry that is easy to work with while reducing shrinkage and toughness in finished products.
Suitable for both handmade and machine-produced pastry, Carr's Starlight delivers reliable consistency throughout the production process, helping bakeries maintain quality across every batch.
