Antimo Caputo Pizzeria Flour Blue 11 lb Bag - Neapolitan Pizza Flour

In this review of Antimo Caputo Pizzeria Flour Blue, the bottom line is simple: this 11 lb Italian 00 flour is aimed at home cooks and pros who want authentic Neapolitan-style pizza that crisps and bubbles under very high heat. The reviewer found the flour delivers an elastic, resistant gluten and a dough that tolerates long fermentation and intense ovens above 700DegreeF, producing the chewy, airy cornicione that makes a pizza feel authentic. It is best for ovens that reach very high temperatures and for bakers willing to work with long-rise dough.

Key Features

• Authentic origin: Made in Naples, Italy, this flour is the brand's signature 00 blend trusted by maestri pizzaioli worldwide.
• High heat performance: Formulated for wood-fired, gas, and electric ovens that exceed 700DegreeF, it holds up without burning and develops a crisp exterior.
• Elastic gluten: The blend yields an elastic, resistant gluten network so dough stretches well and traps gas for large bubbles in the cornicione.
• Long fermentation: Suited to long-rise methods, the protein profile supports extended fermentation for more flavor and texture.
• Texture and bake: Produces a soft interior with a flavorful crust and a balance of chew and crisp that defines Neapolitan pizza.

Who It's For

This flour is intended for serious home pizza makers and professional pizzaioli who use high temperature ovens and value authentic texture and flavor. Bakers who practice long fermentation and need a flour that develops strength and extensibility will appreciate the results.

Bakers who only use standard home ovens that do not exceed 500DegreeF should look elsewhere, such as flours formulated for lower temperatures or the brand's Red chef's flour, which is designed specifically for ovens under 500DegreeF.
