Durum Flour - 3 lb.

This high-protein flour is ideal for pasta and bread.

Ground from extra-hard wheat (durum comes from the Latin word for hard), this flour is high in protein and finely textured. Italians use it for pasta, where its strength allows shaping from simple (spaghetti) to complex (orecchiette) — it can yield a wonderfully al dente cooked dish. You can also use it in breads (Jeffrey’s Golden Durum Sesame Bread) and in pizza crusts! We love the distinct flavor and pretty pale yellow hue.
