Caputo 00 Americana Pizza Flour, 55 lb. Bag

Caputo 00 Americana pizza flour is finely milled tender wheat flour, free of additives and all-natural, designed specifically for American artisanal pizza making. This flour produces thin, chewy crusts with characteristic "leopard spots" and is milled slowly for optimal water absorption and superior yield. It is made from a blend of Italian and European wheat varieties selected for high protein and gluten content, with a protein level of 14.25% ±0.5.

This flour performs best in high-hydration dough recipes and is ideal for long rise cold fermentation techniques to develop complex flavor. For preparation, mix with yeast, water, and salt, then knead by hand or mixer on low speed. Bake pizzas between 550 and 700 degrees Fahrenheit for best results. The product is kosher and packaged in a 55 lb. bag, with a shipping weight of 56 lb. It is recommended to store the flour in a cool, dry, ventilated location away from direct sunlight, between 68 and 76 degrees Fahrenheit.

Caputo follows traditional Neapolitan milling methods combined with modern technology to produce quality flour. This flour is suitable for pizza usage and classified as wheat flour under baking ingredients.
