Caputo Gluten Free Flour (1kg) - Italian Produce - Alternative to Wheat Flour

Have just received this flour and have made a spiced loaf in bread maker, it turned out well and did,nt have the gritty taste of my usual flour. Pity it,s so expensive but would buy again.It has a fine cornflour appearance and needs refreshed the next day after baking.I am celiac but have had no effects after eating this flour.

I’ve tried loads of flours and this is the best one. It stretches well and doesn’t break into little bits. I just mix it by hand - no machine required. Only downside is it’s very sticky so I’d advise one of 2 things: 1) when I’m using my pizza oven I sprinkle polenta on the pizza peel. Polenta is gluten free and stops it from sticking. 2) when I’m using my normal kitchen oven I just oil a shallow rectangular oven tray and press the dough out to all the edges to make a square pizza. Once it’s cooked it’ll have relaxed itself from the tray. No rolling pin required for either method

This makes nice, crusty rolls with a good crumb. It contains deglutenated wheat so wouldn't be suitable for anyone who has a separate wheat allergy, but it's safe for coeliacs who are only allergic to gluten and not wheat. I like to add a little sesame oil to the dough, which gives it a nutty flavour, and honey rather than sugar, because together they give it a slightly more 'wheat-like' flavour. Rolls which have been stored definitely benefit from being run under the cold tap and re-baked at 180c directly on the oven shelf for 12 minutes to refresh them - the bread takes on a chalkiness unless you refresh it. Be careful which yeast you use as some brands contain gluten.

We made a pizza, the first one was homemade gluten free. Everyone liked it and it was very delicious. The dough was a little sticky but we added more flour and it didn't stick anymore.

Great flour, made an excellent gluten free foccaci and tasted great! However its not wheat free, only gluten free - was useful for me as the people i was baking for were wheat free.

This makes the best gluten free bread.

This stuff is amazing! It works way better than other GF flours like Dove, Freee etc. and you don't have to add four other flours to make it work like so many other GF recipes. I have used it both in my Panasonic breadmaker on the GF cycle where it produced a large, well textured loaf that kept for a couple of days, and also turned it into rolls and a cottage loaf by hand. Look online for bread recipes using Caputo. I am very intolerant and do not react to this. Very happy.

Even as someone who is only gluten-intolerant, I had a very painful reaction to this. Don't get me wrong, it makes for a great dough, an awesome deep pan pizza crust, and tastes great, so I'm very disappointed I reacted to it. It does say it includes 'deglutenated wheat starch,' which I felt dubious about, but thought I'd give it a try, trusting the Gluten Free label. It is definitely NOT gluten-free. The results of eating it were horrendous bloating and gut pain all night. I have not had a reaction this bad in a long time. So if you have any doubts, don't risk it.
