Well.... :) That's a good question. authentic Italian... I would look into Italian sourdough starter..King Arthur bread flour .. They have a good reputation making flour. I can keep my friends in the kitchen with above-mentioned ingredients.

I use this flour for thin-crust pizza, about 50/50 with all purpose. If you want to make delicious round loaf, crunchy crust, Italian bread, use all purpose flour and follow the recipe for "No-Knead Bread" from the NY Times that you can Google.

I use this for both pasta and panettones. Works better than US all purpose for these. King Authur makes a good 00, but they don't really sell it over 2 pounds.

This flour is extremely fine. I would use flour for bread. I like Pillsbury, by Gold Medal us also ok. I make all sorts of bread, including Italian, with no problems. I used thus flour for Italian Cream Cake and it was beyond delicious.

Hi, I have used this flour for a couple years and like it's ability to give you a light but chewy crust. My favorite recipe is 3c flour, 1c warm water, 11/2 teaspoon yeast, 1 tsp salt, 1 TBL sugar, 3 TBL Olive oil. Do not add the oil Until the flour and water have sat undisturbed for a a bit. Add the oil in last and finish with kneading the dough. Sometimes I do add a bit more flour. I also make the day before and let it rest in the frig. I often use half the dough and then use the rest in a few days. Happy pizza making.

Yes. This is spelt flour. It is ground very fine. It's the consistency of bread flour you would buy only this is spelt. I really like it.

There are several different recipes for breads such a summer wheat, Italian bread, potato bread and others. I have also modified one of the recipes ( for potato bread) to create coconut bread which is delicious

The flour is white, but not all-purpose. It has a higher gluten content than all-purpose flour which makes it a great choice for fluffy bread.

I use this flour in my bread machine and the bread always turns out great. I never used red wheat so I can't compare them both, sorry.

Yes. It makes wonderful bread. I also have found it to be superior to other flours for making ravioli or Chinese dumplings. It has lots of gluten and therefore makes a dough with a lot of tensile strength. This means I can roll pasta or wonton dough down to the thinnest setting and form the filled dumplings of whatever ethnic persuasion without worrying about ripping the dough. It has a great flavor for basic flour-water-salt-yeast bread. I still use cheap AP or bread flour for when the flavor or gluten of the flour doesn't matter much, e.g. in dense multi-grain breads, gravy thickening, etc. -- or when you really don't want much gluten as in muffins, biscuits, etc.

I also use this for making pasta. Flour might be to fine for scones but try it for bread. I do make bread sticks.

I always use this whole grain bread in recipes w/ my bread machine(that call for regular flour) - we absolutely love it and make sure it's always on hand. The flour makes the difference!!

Yes, it's a white flour. It's meant for baking bread. I was quite happy with it.

This is basically whole wheat bread flour. You're supposed to be able to use it like regular bread flour, but I've never gotten my bread to turn out as good with this, even using extra gluten. If you're not looking for whole wheat specifically, I'd go with something else (you can find regular bread flour in grocery stores).

I just googled "00 pizza dough" and found tone of recipes using 00 flour. Most are very good and I don't really have a favorite.

It is the same flour. I checked and there was a post discussing this issue. They call it (the Pizzeria flour) Chef's Flour for marketing purposes depending on who the reseller is.MUCH!!! better than all purpose.

It is also composed of other flours. If your are only looking for a top notch healthy gluten free flour, its up to you to decide if you want it. I can tell you it is the best gluten free flour to bake with as it is the closest in simulating real flour. It does nit have the usual grit most gluten free flours produce when you bake.

I'm very sorry that I am unable to answer your question. I purchased this flour for a person who bakes bread for the needy. We live several hundred miles apart from each other, so I really don't know any specifics about this kind of flour.

I love this flour! I use it for everything, interchangeably with all purpose flour. The only differences I've noticed are you may need to add a bit more liquid and a hair more baking powder. I actually just made a batch of cranberry orange muffins last night, perfect and delicious...

I don't know about the actual recipe, it only gives what the ingredients are.It is VERY good bread. Nice big loaves. Not like those "gluten free" tiny tasteless breads I've had before. My digestive system actualy likes this bread too. No overly full feeling after only one slice. I can eat a whole sandwich and still feel like I could have more.That is all I know about it, just VERY GOOD bread, made with Spelt flour. I got some Spelt pasta too, it's all good. I'm going all Spelt products now.
