Caputo Semolina Durum Wheat Flour 1kg Bags, 2 Pack
Caputo Semolina Durum Wheat Flour is the Italian semolina flour you want when making fresh pasta with color, bite, and structure. This bundle includes two 1kg bags, giving you a total of 2kg of Caputo Semolina for pasta making, bread, pizza peel dusting, and crisp golden frying.
Made from durum wheat and double milled for a finer texture, Caputo Semolina works into dough more smoothly than coarse semolina while still giving pasta the firm, satisfying bite people expect from traditional Italian pasta. It helps fresh pasta hold its shape during boiling and gives dough a beautiful amber-gold color.
This semolina flour is an excellent choice for handmade orecchiette, cavatelli, gnocchi, scialatielli, and other fresh pasta shapes. It is also a favorite for dusting pizza peels because it helps dough slide cleanly into the oven without sticking. For frying, it gives vegetables, seafood, and cutlets a lighter, crispier coating than ordinary flour.

Why Use Caputo Semolina Flour?
For fresh pasta: Caputo Semolina gives pasta dough strength, elasticity, and a firmer texture. It is especially useful for pasta shapes that need to hold their form while cooking.
For pizza making: A light dusting of semolina on your pizza peel helps prevent sticking and makes it easier to launch pizza into the oven.
For frying: The fine durum wheat texture helps create a crisp, golden coating on fried foods without making them feel heavy.
For bread and dough: Semolina can be blended into bread, focaccia, and pizza dough when you want more color, flavor, and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Caputo Semolina
What is Caputo Semolina used for?
Caputo Semolina is used for fresh pasta, gnocchi, bread, pizza peel dusting, and frying. It is especially good for pasta because durum wheat gives dough more structure and a firmer bite.
Is semolina flour good for making pasta?
Yes. Semolina flour is one of the best flours for pasta because it helps the dough hold its shape and gives cooked pasta a firm al dente texture.
What does double milled semolina mean?
Double milled means the semolina is ground finer than traditional coarse semolina. This makes it easier to knead into dough while still keeping the strength and texture of durum wheat.
Can I use Caputo Semolina for pizza?

Can I mix Caputo Semolina with 00 flour?
Yes. Many home cooks and chefs blend semolina with 00 flour for pasta, pizza, and bread. A 50/50 blend gives more bite, while a smaller amount of semolina adds color and texture without making the dough too firm.
Is this flour bleached or bromated?
No. Caputo Semolina is unbleached, unbromated, and made without added chemicals.
