00 Pizza Flour: A Guide to Neapolitan-Style Pizza Dough
Share
Great pizza begins with flour that matches the style of crust you want to make. Fine-milled 00 flour is designed for smooth dough handling, extensibility, and the tender chew associated with Neapolitan-style pizza.
What makes 00 pizza flour different?
“00” refers to the flour’s fine texture. That texture helps dough stretch into a thin center while retaining a defined outer rim. For best results, mix thoroughly, allow enough fermentation time, and shape gently so the dough keeps the gas developed during proofing.
Practical dough tips
- Weigh flour and water for repeatable hydration.
- Use a longer, cooler fermentation for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your stone or steel thoroughly.
- Add toppings lightly so the center cooks evenly.
