Description
xAuthentic Neapolitan pizza starts with the right flour
Antimo Caputo Pizzeria Flour Blue is a 100% wheat, Italian 00 flour crafted in Naples. Packaged in a generous 5 kg (11 lb) bag, it serves as a dependable foundation for long fermentation baking and professional‑level dough. The flour features elastic gluten and a robust protein profile that supports extended rises, helping dough develop aroma, flavor, and structure while staying pliable enough to shape by hand.
Originating in Italy and favored by maestri pizzaioli, this flour blends a lower overall protein level with more Farina Manitoba to give dough greater strength without sacrificing tenderness. The result is dough that remains forgiving during stretching and can stand up to the demands of a high‑heat bake, producing a crust that is soft inside with a crisp, bubbly cornicione when properly cooked.
High‑heat performance is a hallmark of this product. It shines in classic Neapolitan pizza baked in wood‑fired, gas, or electric ovens when temperatures rise above 700°F. The long fermentation pathway helps unlock aroma and flavor, while the doughs elastic gluten supports a gentle lift and bronzed edges as the crust blisters.
For home ovens, Antimo Caputo offers a complementary option designed for lower temperatures. If your kitchen runs under 500°F, the Red chef’s flour is formulated to pair with that environment, providing a similar level of flavor and texture in a calibration that suits smaller, home‑style ovens.
Practical use notes: this flour is well‑suited to anyone who loves the Neapolitan style and desires consistent results with long fermentation. Expect a dough that is both manageable and expressive—easy to shape, then transformed by heat into a crust that reveals a soft crumb, a delicate aroma, and the characteristic bubbles at the edge.
