What kind of flour is used in Italian bread? 🍞

[aurora]

Heyya! I got interested in making an Italian bread. I'm wondering what kind of flour is used for it? Do you have any insights on whether Tipo 00, semolina, or something else reigns supreme? I'm experimenting in the kitchen and craving that perfect crust. Share your wisdom, bakers!

Italian bread typically uses all-purpose flour or bread flour for that perfect texture and flavor. Buon appetito!

Tipo 00 flour is my go-to choice. It's super fine and gives the bread a nice, soft texture while still allowing for a good crust.

Hey there! When it comes to making Italian bread, the type of flour you use can indeed make a difference in achieving that perfect crust and texture. While Tipo 00 flour is commonly used for pizza and pasta dough due to its fine texture, for bread, you might want to opt for a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Semolina adds a slightly chewy texture and golden color to the crust, enhancing the overall flavor. Experimenting with different flour combinations can help you find the perfect balance for your Italian bread! Happy baking!
