Antimo Caputo Tipo 00 Chef's Flour, 8 x 1 kg Pack — Neapolitan Pizza Flour, Extra-Fine Texture

Antimo Caputo "The Chef's Flour" "00" is an extra-fine Italian flour blended for authentic Neapolitan-style pizza and versatile enough for breads and pastries.

From the heart of Naples' pizzerias comes a finely milled Tipo 00 flour prized for its soft, silky texture and balanced protein level that encourages strong extensibility and a tender crumb. Packaged in eight 1-kilogram bags, this offering is geared toward home cooks and small professional kitchens that want the classic chew, blistered crust, and delicate interior associated with true Neapolitan pies. Because it’s milled from the endosperm, the flour is unusually smooth and mixes into doughs that respond well to high-heat ovens and long fermentation.

How does this flour affect pizza dough behavior?

The Caputo "00" formula emphasizes stretch and elasticity while avoiding excessive gluten toughness. Doughs made with this flour expand well during baking, producing a crisp outer edge and a soft, airy interior when cooked at high temperatures.

• Low-to-moderate gluten strength for easy kneading and shaping
• Fine milling yields smooth hydration and less tearing
• Performs reliably in high-temperature ovens and grills

Can I use it for other baked goods besides pizza?

Yes — while optimized for Neapolitan pizza, this Tipo 00 is versatile enough for many Italian-style preparations. It adapts well to hand-stretched doughs, delicate pastries, and certain breads that benefit from a tender crumb.

• Suitable for focaccia, ciabatta, and artisanal bread with moderate hydration
• Works for cakes and cookies that call for an extra-fine texture
• Ideal for recipes requiring a smooth, silky dough feel

What baking environments work best with this flour?

Caputo "00" shines when exposed to intense, direct heat such as wood-fired or stone ovens, where rapid oven spring and charring are desired. It also performs well in home ovens and outdoor grills when temperatures are high and preheating is thorough.

• Wood-fired brick oven: optimum for blistered, leopard-spotted crusts
• Outdoor grills and pizza stones: gives crisp exterior and soft interior
• Conventional ovens: use high heat and preheated baking surfaces for best results

How should I store and portion these 1 kg bags?

Each 1-kilo bag is sized for small-batch baking and easy refrigeration or pantry storage. Keep bags sealed and stored in a cool, dry place; refrigerate or freeze for longer shelf life and to preserve flavor if you won't use them quickly.

• Reseal or transfer to airtight containers after opening
• Store in a cool, dry pantry away from sunlight
• Refrigerate or freeze for multi-month storage without quality loss
