What type of flour do you use for making regular spaghetti noodles? The recipe calls for mill flour and checking around no one has heard of it – not even the Amish. They had oxidant- sapphire- and something else. Also, what about king Aurthur unbleached? thank you BPP
Hello,
According to this factsheet (http://www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic/food/food_safety/handling/hgic3485.html) from Clemson University Cooperative Extension, all-purpose flour can be used to make noodles. Low-protein wheat flour, semolina flour or durum flour can be used to make noodles, too.
Here is some information about King Arthur unbleached flour: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/king-arthur-unbleached-all-purpose-flour-5-lb
An Internet search did not turn up anything for “mill flour.” If we find any information, we will let you know.
Thanks for your questions!
