Flour for making pasta

4 replies

Can I make pasta with strong bread flour, or does it have to be 00 flour?

I need pasta for tonight's dinner and we've run out of the normal dried stuff, but have a child with chicken pox so can't go shopping. Thought I'd have a bash at making my own.

Have made it now with standard plain flour. Looks ok.

If it's worked, then that's fine. Strong bread flour would have been my choice.

Yes will be fine. Just make sure you knead it well.

I use bread flour too.

What exactly is 00 flour anyhow?
