Caputo 00 Italian Flour is widely used throughout Italy and considered one of the best 00 flours available. While 00 flour can be used the same way you use standard flour, the factors listed above lead to some special handling instructions…
- 00 Italian Flour is very fine and silky. Great pizza dough can result without adding olive oil. You may want to experiment with and without adding the oil to get the taste you desire.
