Cotswold Pizza Flour
Three 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. The master pizza makers in Italy will often use pizza flour from a blend of European high protein wheat and Canadian wheat. These wheats create flours that absorb considerably more water and larger expansive doughs than many European wheats. In order to provide pizza makers with the consistency and quality they need our blend of Cotswold pizza flour combines wheat from both countries.
