FROM ROME TO YOUR PLATE
At Flour Child, we take pride in our signature dish, the Pinsa Romana. This ancient Roman delicacy has a storied history and a unique preparation process that sets it apart from traditional pizza. Let’s dive into the world of Pinsa Romana and discover why it’s a must-try.
The Origins
Pinsa Romana dates back to ancient Rome, where it was crafted as a rustic flatbread. The name “pinsa” comes from the Latin word “pinsere,” which means “to press.” This reflects the traditional method of pressing and stretching the dough, which gives Pinsa its distinctive shape and texture.
The Dough: A Labour of Love
What makes Pinsa Romana truly special is its dough. Made using our Di Marco Pinsa Romana flour—a carefully crafted blend of wheat, rice, and soy flours—it creates a light, airy base that’s far easier to digest than traditional pizza. Our chefs let the dough rise for 48 hours to develop rich, complex flavour. With 80% hydration, the result is a beautifully crisp crust with a soft, cloud-like interior.
Toppings: Fresh and Flavourful
At Flour Child, we believe that quality ingredients make all the difference. Our Pinsa Romana is topped with the freshest, seasonal produce and premium meats and cheeses. From classic Margherita to adventurous creations featuring truffle oil and wild mushrooms, there’s a Pinsa for every palate.
Health Benefits
Thanks to its unique flour blend and extended fermentation, Pinsa Romana is lower in calories and gluten compared to traditional pizza. It’s also easier on the stomach, making it a great option for those with dietary sensitivities.
