Cotswold Pizza Flour
1.5kg Bags of our British & Canadian Pizza Flour
Milling and Provenance: Milled from a blend of premium UK hard wheat from the hills of the Cotswolds and Canadian Manitoban wheat from the prairies. Master pizza makers in Italy often use pizza flour from a blend of European high-protein wheat and Canadian wheat. These blends create flours that absorb considerably more water, making larger and more expansive doughs than many European wheats. Our blend of Cotswold pizza flour combines wheat from both countries give UK pizza makers the quality and consistency needed to make great pizza every time.
For Best Results: Allow a long leavening time of 24 to 36 hours at a temperature of 2-3 Celsius. Blend with 20% White Spelt Flour for an easier to digest pizza dough. Ensure your oven is nice and hot before you bake and get creative with your toppings!
