Antimo Caputo Chef's Flour - Italian Double Zero 00

The Chef's flour is a general purpose, high gluten flour that works well for many recipes. You can use it for pizza crust, pasta making, bread, and pastries.

"Tipo 00" refers to how refined the flour is, and indicates that it is refined further than regular flour, and that results in using less of the outer parts of the wheat, while also creating a very finely ground product. Tipo "00" is the finest grade of flour milled in Italy, and it has a consistency similar to baby powder.

RECIPE

Punch down, divide into 3 balls, place in greased zip lock bags, and refrigerate overnight. Before use, let dough warm to room temp (72F or more). Preheat oven to 550F (or max temp). Bake pizza for 7-10 mins until crust browns.
