Coarse Flour

Coarse flour is a wheat flour with a coarser grind than plain (all-purpose) flour. Its rougher texture makes it suitable for different types of dough and batters. It is primarily used for making homemade pasta, gnocchi, certain types of dumplings and poured batters. It absorbs more water than fine flour, which should be taken into account when following a recipe. Coarse flour contains more fibre and nutrients than highly refined white flour, making it a slightly healthier choice. It is widely available in grocery stores and is a staple in many Central European kitchens.
