I discovered Caputo Flour shortly after I began making pasta, and I immediately fell in love with the texture and quality. The Double Zero flour makes pasta dough that's incredibly smooth and flavorful, and it's been my go-to flour ever since I first started using it. I also always recommend the Semola flour for pasta making. It's so much smoother and finer than most semolina flours, and leads to the perfect dough!
