sorted byI experimented with Caputo and Marriages Manitoba from Costco for both pizza and bread making. At the time, I think I was able to buy a 16kg sack of Caputo for £15, while the Marriages Manitoba was about £11 around eight years ago.
My conclusions were that the Caputo was noticeably better for pizza dough and wider research seems to confirm that this will be down to the finer '00' milling making it more able to absorb water. The Manitoba flour was far superior for bread making, which I put down to the higher (15%) protein content. Given the marginal improvement of Caputo for pizzas and the vast difference in bread making, I decided to exclusively use the Manitoba, which is now about £17 for a 16kg sack in Costco.
If anyone is interested, you can buy 16kg sacks of Caputo in Bookers, which are likely to work out cheaper than this Amazon deal if you can get through 16kg in around 6 months and you have the space for storage.
Flour is ridiculously complicated when you start looking into it. There’s actual strength (apart from protein content), extensibility, enzyme content, taste (and the myriad things that influence it)… It is a VERY deep rabbit hole!
This stuff works really well for real pizzas. Nuff said.
Considering they struggle to deliver a box of biscuits in tact, I'm just a little apprehensive about the sheer mess that may get dumped at my doorstep if they send 10kg of flour in one flimsy box with a bit of brown paper inside as protection!
(yes a little more expensive @ £2.04/kg rather than £1.80/kg but it may suit those with less space/need)

Is it true?
