Caputo Fioreglut in the 5 KG bag is consistent, which is rare in the GF category. It holds up for a delicate tiered wedding cake or a chewy focaccia, so your gluten-free menu items don't feel like a compromise. Some Canadian patisseries have told us they save prep time because the rise and texture are predictable batch after batch.

Caputo Gluten Free Flour 5 KG - Fioreglut Pizza Flour: Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service

Caputo Fioreglut is a specialty gluten-free flour blended in Naples, Italy, for professional bakers who need real artisan quality. The formulation gives you the elasticity and structure for Neapolitan-style gluten-free pizza or intricate pastry work. This is not the generic GF flour you grab off a grocery shelf; it's built for professional-level results and tackles the two biggest complaints with GF baking: density and lack of stretch.

Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.

Chef's Advantage: When working with Caputo Fioreglut for pizza or bread, start with a slightly higher hydration percentage than you might typically use for wheat flour. The starches absorb liquid differently, so a bit more water helps achieve that desirable stretch and prevents a dense crumb. Adjust slowly until you find the perfect balance for your specific application and oven.

Operator's Tip · Giselle, Canadian Products Specialist

"We've had great feedback on this 5kg bag for smaller patisseries or places just starting their gluten-free menu. One Calgary client, a boutique hotel, ordered three cases for their wedding cake season last year. They found it consistent for tiered cakes and intricate pastries, which can be tricky with GF blends. It holds up well for a busy kitchen."

If you're expanding your gluten-free lineup and don't want to sacrifice texture or flavour, Fioreglut is a solid bet. The blend of rice, corn, and potato starches with soy flour and specific thickeners mimics gluten structure, so you get proper rise and a decent bite in your baked goods. A hotel pastry department or patisserie can cater to dietary restrictions without losing quality. You can use it for a light focaccia to serve with antipasti or delicate financiers for a dessert buffet. Check our full range of pastry and baking ingredients for more essentials.

Quality & Specifications

This professional-grade, finely powdered flour blend has a consistent, neutral flavour profile with subtle sweet notes from its sugar content. It reliably yields a light, airy crumb in breads and cakes, and a desirable crisp crust in pizzas. The precise combination of rice starch, corn starch, potato starch, soy flour, sugar, and the thickeners guar gum and xanthan gum provides the structural integrity often lacking in other gluten-free alternatives. The blend originates from Naples, Italy, a region known for its flour milling expertise.

Pastry & Baking Applications

Caputo Fioreglut is versatile across a wide range of professional baking applications. It excels in crafting authentic gluten-free Neapolitan pizza, yielding a crust that is both crisp and tender. Bakers can achieve a light, airy focaccia, perfect for savory appetizers or sandwiches. This flour is also ideal for gluten-free artisan breads, developing a pleasing crumb structure. Beyond savories, it performs beautifully in pastry doughs, cakes, and biscuits, allowing chefs to create delicate French pastries, robust layer cakes, and classic shortbreads that meet high culinary standards.

Storage & Handling

To maintain the quality and shelf life of Caputo Gluten Free Flour, store it in a cool, dry place. Keep the 5 KG bag sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption and exposure to air, which can affect its performance. When stored correctly, the flour typically has a shelf life of 12-18 months from its production date. Always check the packaging for the specific best before date to ensure you're using the freshest product for your pastry and baking needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Caputo gluten-free flour for pizza crust?

Yes, Caputo Gluten Free Flour (Fioreglut) is specifically designed to excel in pizza crusts. Its proprietary blend of starches and fibers provides the necessary elasticity and stretch for traditional pizza tossing and shaping, which is often a challenge with other gluten-free flours. You'll find it delivers a light, airy crumb with a golden, crisp crust, mimicking high-quality wheat flour results even in high-heat stone and wood-fired ovens.

How does Caputo fioreglut compare to other GF flours?

Caputo Fioreglut stands out from many other gluten-free flours due to its engineered focus on elasticity and fermentation. While many alternatives can be gritty or dense, Fioreglut is crafted to support yeast activity and allow for significant stretch in doughs, crucial for artisan breads and pizzas. It’s a pre-balanced blend, ensuring consistent results for professional bakers and pastry chefs looking for performance comparable to wheat-based flours. We also carry other gluten-free options like Bob's Red Mill Tapioca Flour if you're looking for different starch characteristics.

What is caputo gluten free flour?

Caputo Gluten Free Flour (Fioreglut) is a specialized blend of high-quality gluten-free starches and fibers, developed in Naples by Antimo Caputo. It's designed for professional baking to achieve the authentic texture and taste of traditional Italian baked goods, without containing gluten. This blend provides superior elasticity, supports fermentation, and ensures a light, airy, and flavorful result for a wide range of applications from pizza to delicate cakes.

Is Caputo Fioreglut flour safe for celiacs?

Yes, Caputo Fioreglut flour is certified gluten-free, making it safe for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. The product is specifically formulated and processed to meet rigorous gluten-free standards. As always, for those with severe allergies, ensuring dedicated equipment and cross-contamination prevention in your kitchen is vital when preparing gluten-free items.

How much gluten is in caputo 00 flour?

Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour, the product we're discussing here, contains no gluten; it is certified gluten-free. However, if you're asking about Caputo 00 flour, like our Caputo 00 Pizzeria Blue Flour 25 KG, that is a traditional wheat-based flour and contains gluten. It's important to differentiate between Caputo's dedicated gluten-free line and their conventional wheat flours, as they serve different purposes in the kitchen.

How much gluten in caputo flour?

Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour, which is our 5 kg offering, is certified gluten-free and contains no gluten. If you're referring to other Caputo flours in general, many of their traditional products, such as Caputo 00 flour, are wheat-based and therefore do contain gluten. It's crucial to always check the specific product label to confirm its gluten status if you have dietary restrictions or are catering to customers with celiac disease.

What is caputo fioreglut gluten free flour?

Caputo Fioreglut gluten-free flour is a distinctive professional-grade flour blend from Antimo Caputo, engineered for exceptional gluten-free baking. It combines rice starch, corn starch, potato starch, soy flour, and thickeners like guar and xanthan gum to replicate the performance of traditional wheat flour. This formulation allows for excellent dough elasticity, fermentation, and results in baked goods with a light, tender crumb and crisp crust, ideal for specialty Italian recipes.

How long does caputo flour last?

The typical shelf life for Caputo Fioreglut gluten-free flour is around 12 to 18 months from the production date, when stored properly. For the exact best-before date, always refer to the specific packaging of your 5 kg bag. To maintain its quality, ensure it's kept in a cool, dry place, sealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption and exposure to air.

What is the optimal working temperature range for doughs made with Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour?

Doughs made with Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour generally perform best when handled and proofed within similar temperature ranges to traditional wheat flour doughs, typically between 20-25°C (68-77°F). This temperature range promotes optimal yeast activity and helps the starches and gums in the blend develop their structure effectively. For fermentation, aim for a consistent, warm environment to encourage the light, airy texture this flour is designed to deliver. Extreme cold can slow yeast significantly, while excessive heat can overproof quickly.

What is the recommended substitution ratio when replacing standard wheat flour with Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour in existing recipes?

When substituting standard wheat flour with Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour, a general guideline is to use a 1:1 ratio by weight. However, due to the different absorption properties of gluten-free starches compared to wheat protein, you may need to adjust the liquid content in your recipe slightly. Often, gluten-free doughs require a bit more hydration to achieve optimal elasticity and prevent a dry crumb. We recommend starting with the 1:1 weight substitution and then incrementally adjusting liquid until your dough reaches the desired consistency and feel.
