Frequently Asked Questions:
What is 00 flour [double zero flour]? Regarded as the best flour for pasta- and pizza-making, 00 flour is a finely ground Italian flour. Type 00 refers to the texture of the flour created by milling and sifting. There are 4 main sizes, or grinds, of flour: 00, 0, 1 and 2. The lower the number, the finer the flour. Type 00 is the finest. When it comes to pizza, type 00 flour absorbs less water, which can create a lighter and more airy dough for that perfectly crisp crust—like the famous Neapolitan pizza.
Why does every pantry need 00 flour? Type 00 flour is a superior soft wheat flour ready to upgrade all of your favorite Italian baked goods: pasta, pizza, crostata, bread and pastries. Unlike the lower protein and gluten content of all-purpose flour, type 00 flour is the ultimate pizza flour. It boasts a strength and elasticity making it perfect for kneading and a longer leavening time for developing flavors.
What is the difference between all-purpose flour and type 00 flour? There are a few significant differences between these two flours. The first difference is how finely milled they are. Type 00 is superfine and powder-like in texture. All-purpose flour is more coarse. The second difference is the protein content. While the exact percentages can vary depending on the wheat selection and production methods, type 00 flours have a higher protein content (of about 12-15%). All-purpose flours fall typically between 9-12%. Because of these differences, type 00 flour absorbs less water and can create a lighter and more airy dough for that perfectly crisp crust.
