Contains: Wheat

Perfect for & Recipes: Blend with 20% white spelt flour for an easier to digest pizza dough. For best results allow a long leavening of 24 to 36 hours at a temperature of 2-3 Celsius. Ensure a preheated oven and get creative with your toppings!  

Milling and Provenance: Milled from a blend of premium UK hard wheat from the hills of the Cotswolds and Canadian Manitoban wheat from the prairies. The master pizza makers in Italy will often use pizza flour from a blend of European high protein wheat and Canadian wheat. These wheats create flours that absorb considerably more water and larger expansive doughs than many European wheats. In order to provide pizza makers with the consistency and quality they need our blend of Cotswold pizza flour combines wheat from both countries.

Protein: 11.8%

Matthews Pizza Flour Top Tips: 1: Bring pizza dough to room temperature. 2: Stretching the pizza dough works glutens in a way that rolling doesn’t. More gluten development better crunch. 3: Don’t worry about shape, artisanal pizza at home should have its own style. 4: Good hydration for Pizza dough is 60% which can be achieved through Cotswold Pizza flour.

About Matthews Cotswold

MILLING BRITAIN’S FINEST FLOUR FOR OVER 100 YEARS

With a milling legacy spanning eight generations, Matthews Cotswold Flour is one of the UK’s oldest family-run flour mills. Trading grain and milling flour in the heart of the Cotswolds since the 1800s. We believe passionately that our local farming partnerships, traditional milling methods and premium grain selection make for better baking.


Generations of farming families

The Matthews Cotswold Flour story began when the original FWP (Frederick) Matthews built a mill on the river Evenlode in 1912. You’ll find us working here to this day, overlooking the picturesque Cotswold village of Shipton-Under-Wychwood. It’s not a bad office view!

The Matthews family have spent over 100 years developing, improving and innovating to consistently produce the very best flour and baking products. Today, the company is led by father and son team Paul and Bertie Matthews – FWP Matthews’ great, great grandsons. This sustained passion and expertise passed down through generations, continues to inform every step of our process – from our local ethos to our traditional methods.
