👉 The term "provant" is a French word that means "flour" in English. It refers to the type of flour used for baking bread and other baked goods, where the gluten is removed by heating the dough or batter with a heat source such as a stove or oven. In this context, provants are typically made from wheat flour, which has been ground into a fine powder and then kneaded together to achieve its characteristic texture and flavor.
