Antimo Caputo 00 “Extra” (Some people refer to as the “Extra Blue” or “Extra Blu”, but please don’t confuse this with the Pizzeria flour which is known as the “Blue”. The “Extra” flour comes in bag which is a lighter blue color.
Caputo “Extra” is a flour produced with a low extraction rate, which means that it contains more of the endosperm of the wheat, and less of the bran and germ. It’s a whiter flour, and has a lower protein content.
Its protein content is 11% according to Caputo
If you are looking to make bread that has a softer texture more like store bought white bread or regular Italian bread, or lighter baguettes? Give this flour a try.
It’s closer to an American all-purpose flour, but still a “00″ fine ground flour that is slow ground to avoid heat that would damage the starches and proteins. The kind of quality you expect from Caputo.
