Caputo Pizzeria 00 flour, red bag: 12.5% protein for Neapolitan pizza, focaccia and flatbreads. Single 1 kg bag.
This is Caputo's Pizzeria flour in the newer red 1 kg design. Caputo recommends it for traditional, well-hydrated dough and classic Neapolitan pizza, and lists 12.5% protein, a strength of W 260 to 280 and P/L 0.50 to 0.60. The balance of elastic gluten and fine starch lets the dough absorb plenty of water, so it opens into a thin centre with a tall, blistered edge. At home, a pizza oven or the hottest setting of a domestic oven with a preheated stone or steel gives the best result. The same flour also makes soft focaccia, flatbreads and simple bread rolls. Weigh flour and water rather than using cups, and keep the bag sealed between uses. Each order is one 1 kg bag of Caputo Pizzeria 00 flour, red bag.
