Apache
C tier
Apache is a widely grown French bread wheat cultivar known for reliable quality in the French milling (BPMF) system and for balanced dough properties suited to baguettes and everyday French breads. It represents modern European soft-to-medium strength bread wheat rather than hard red spring types. French mills and bakers use Apache for white flour, traditional baguette doughs, and industrial bakery blends. It is a named commercial cultivar commonly cited in European variety lists.
