Product Details

Antimo Caputo Chef's Flour is the red bag Italian tipo 00 flour, milled from soft wheat to a fine, silky texture with about 13 percent protein and a W strength of 300 to 320. The gluten is strong but elastic, so dough stretches thin without tearing and stands up to long, slow rises. It is made for pizza baked in a home oven, and also for bread, fresh pasta and pastry.

This bag holds 1 kg (2.2 lb) of flour, about 33 servings of 1/4 cup. Compared with Caputo's blue Pizzeria bag, which is tuned for 800 F wood-fired ovens, the red Chef's Flour browns and crisps better at the 450 to 550 F of a home oven, and unlike American all-purpose flour it is unbleached and unbromated with no additives.

Directions & Storage

For a basic pizza dough, mix 1 kg flour with about 600 to 650 g water (60 to 65 percent hydration), 20 to 25 g salt and 2 to 3 g instant yeast. Knead until smooth, let it rise 1 to 2 hours at room temperature, then divide into 250 g balls and cold-ferment in the fridge 24 to 72 hours for the best flavor. Bring the dough to room temperature for an hour, stretch, top and bake on a hot stone or steel at the highest setting of your oven, 450 to 550 F, for 7 to 10 minutes.

Store the bag sealed in a cool, dry place. Once opened, move the flour to an airtight container and use within a few months. Shelf life is 12 months from the production date on the bag.

Questions About This Product

The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.

What is the difference between the red bag and the blue Pizzeria bag?
Both are tipo 00 flour. The red Chef's Flour has slightly more protein and is milled for home ovens up to about 550 F, so it browns well at those temperatures. The blue Pizzeria flour is designed for wood-fired ovens around 800 F and stays pale in a home oven.
Can I use it instead of all-purpose or bread flour?
Yes. It is close to bread flour in protein, so it works one for one by weight in pizza, focaccia and bread recipes. For cakes and tender pastry it will be a little chewier than all-purpose.
What does 00 mean?
It is the Italian grade for the finest grind with the lowest ash content, milled from the center of the wheat kernel. It does not refer to protein level.
How much water should I use?
60 to 65 percent of the flour weight is a good start, about 600 to 650 g water per 1 kg bag. The flour can take up to 70 percent for Neapolitan style dough once you are comfortable handling wetter dough.
Is it good for fresh pasta?
Yes. The fine grind makes smooth, silky pasta sheets. Many cooks blend it half and half with semolina for a firmer bite.
