Size:20 Pound (Pack of 1) Caputo "Extra" is a flour produced with a low extraction rate.Lower extraction rates are the whiter flours from which progressively more of the bran and germ (and thus B vitamins and iron) are excluded, down to a figure of 72% extraction, which is normal white flour. ‘Patent’ flours are of lower extraction rate, 30-50%, and so comprise mostly the endosperm of the grain.This flour is recommended for dough with short leavening times.Because it is lower in protein it makes a soft crumb (interior) which is more like store bought white bread or regular Italian bread. Baguettes are usually made from this type of flour. It is very much like an American all-purpose flour but "00", and Caputo quality.Antimo Caputo 00 "Extra" originally comes from a 55 lb bag that has light or baby blue highlights on the bag, but please don't confuse this with the Pizzeria flour which is known has a darker blue bag. People on the pizza making forums have a habit of referring to the different Caputo flours by colors rather than names, and this leads to endless confusion.

So far, excellent for delicate pastries
I got this is make bignes (bite sized pastry puffs) that were then filled in whipped cream and drenched in chocolate. Not all of the puffs made it to the whipped cream stage, we ate quite a few plain. Since they are basically water, flour, and an egg - the flour has to be good. Next will be pie crusts made with this. This is an excellent flour for light, delicate, flaky pastry type foods. It was well packaged and when I weighed it to make sure it was all there, it was a couple ounces over. I would buy this again from this seller. (BrickOvenBaker)

Finally a great pizza!
I finally made a great pizza. The crust was tender but crispy and stood up to a load of toppings. Until this flour came into my kitchen, I was the queen of lousy pizzas. I’m looking forward to trying other flours from them.
