Caputo criscito is a type of dried yeast flour and is an easy way to make pizza dough and breads with sourdough flavour. Similar to a ‘dormant’ sourdough mother, this dried yeast flour will give you the flavour and open texture of a sourdough, without the need for a starter.
Reactivate this dried yeast flour by incorporating it with your flour, along with a separate, fresh yeast. Caputo recommends using 20-50g of Criscito dried yeast for every kilo of normal flour. It will give you a lovely stretchy dough, with a great open texture.
