Antimo Caputo Chefs Flour - Italian Double Zero 00 - Soft Wheat for Pizza, Bread, & Pasta, 2.2 Lb (Pack of 2)

Antimo Caputo Chef's Flour - Italian Double Zero 00

This Chef's flour is a versatile, high-gluten flour that is well-suited for a wide range of recipes. It can be used for making pizza crusts, pastas, breads, and pastries.

The term "Tipo 00" refers to the level of refinement of the flour. It indicates that this flour is more refined than regular flour, as it uses less of the outer parts of the wheat grain. The result is a very finely ground product with a consistency similar to baby powder, which is the finest grade of flour milled in Italy.

The Perfect Pizza Crust Recipe

To make the perfect pizza crust, mix the ingredients in a bowl to form a soft dough. Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes, then knead it for 5 minutes. Coat the dough with oil, cover it, and let it rise for 2 hours until it has doubled in size. Punch down the dough, divide it into 3 balls, place them in greased zip-lock bags, and refrigerate overnight. Before using the dough, let it warm to room temperature (72°F or higher). Preheat the oven to 550°F (or the maximum temperature) and bake the pizza for 7-10 minutes until the crust is browned.

Italian Rustic Loaf

To make an Italian Rustic Loaf, preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix the yeast, sugar, and water, then combine with salt and flour. Knead the dough, form it into a ball, coat it with oil, and let it rise for 35-45 minutes. Grease a baking sheet, place the dough on it, and let it rise for 90 minutes. Bake the loaf at 350°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until it is golden brown. Cool the bread on a wire rack.
