Caputo Tipo 00 Soft Wheat Flour for Neapolitan Pizza Dough

Caputo Tipo 00 soft wheat flour brings the authentic taste and texture of Neapolitan pizza to professional kitchens. Milled from carefully selected soft wheat, this finely ground flour creates dough that stretches effortlessly, ferments consistently, and bakes into a crisp yet airy crust. The process relies on a balance of gluten strength and water absorption, allowing the dough to rise evenly while retaining elasticity over long fermentation periods. This makes it particularly suited to high-temperature wood-fired or electric ovens, where the heat transforms the dough into a light, bubbly base with a tender interior.

To use, combine the flour with water, yeast, and salt, adjusting hydration to suit the desired dough consistency. After mixing, the dough is left to ferment, where the gluten network develops, trapping gases and creating the characteristic open crumb.

Each 25 kg paper bag is designed for bulk use in pizzerias, bakeries, and catering operations. The flour's Tipo 00 classification indicates a fine grind, which contributes to its smooth texture and rapid hydration. The packaging preserves freshness, protecting the flour from moisture and contaminants during storage.

The flour's gluten content and W value (260–270) provide the strength needed for long fermentation, making it possible to prepare dough in advance without losing stability. This is particularly valuable in busy kitchens where consistency and efficiency are essential. The low ash content further supports a clean fermentation process, reducing the risk of off-flavours or uneven browning.

Caputo Tipo 00 flour is a staple in professional pizzerias, trusted for its ability to deliver authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. Its performance in both wood-fired and electric ovens makes it versatile for a range of kitchen setups, from traditional brick ovens to modern deck ovens. The flour's reliability stems from Antico Molino Caputo's long-standing expertise, ensuring each batch meets the same high standards.

For best results, store the flour in a cool, dry place, away from strong odours. The paper bag is breathable, helping to maintain the flour's quality over time. When handling, ensure the bag is sealed after each use to prevent contamination and moisture absorption, which can affect dough performance.

Available in 25 kg bags with a minimum order quantity of 40 bags. Orders between 20 and 40 bags incur a surcharge.
