Flour

Whether you're a fan of savory or sweet dishes, there's no denying that flour plays a central role in Italian cooking. From pizza to bread rolls to polenta and beyond, there are countless ways to enjoy this versatile ingredient in all of its delicious forms.

Flour is also used to make a range of sweet treats, including cakes and pastries. Some classic Italian desserts made with flour include biscotti, cannoli, and ciambella.
