Antimo Caputo Pizzeria Flour Blue - 11lb/5kg 00 Flour for Elastic Neapolitan Dough

Elevate Neapolitan pizza with authentic Italian flour

Antimo Caputo Pizzeria Flour Blue is a premium, 100% wheat flour sourced from Naples, Italy. This 00 flour is crafted to support long fermentation and to give dough a balanced elasticity that bakers feel as it stretches smoothly. The product embodies the tradition of Italian flour milled for pizza, helping you move from dough to crust with confidence.

In practice, this flour helps dough avoid tearing while rising, producing a soft, flavorful crust with the characteristic bubbles around the edge. The gluten is elastic and the protein balance is designed to support a resilient dough that bakes into a well-formed cornicione when treated with proper handling and high-heat baking.

Key benefits and kitchen advantages

• High-heat compatibility for classic Neapolitan pizza in wood-fired, gas, or electric ovens at 700°F+.
• Fermentation-friendly profile that supports long rises to unlock deeper aroma and flavor.
• Elastic gluten and balanced protein help dough hold shape during bake, yielding a tender crumb and blistered crust.
• Blended with Farina Manitoba to reinforce dough strength without compromising softness.

Practical usage for home cooks and professionals

• Ideal for traditional Neapolitan pizza baked in high-heat environments, producing a soft interior and bubbly edge.
• For home ovens under 500°F, Antimo Caputo’s Red Chef’s flour is recommended as a complementary option.

Originating in Naples, this flour carries a legacy that many pizzaioli value for its consistent performance and authentic texture. While results depend on your oven, dough management, and fermentation timing, this blue-label flour is designed to help you approach the classic Neapolitan profile: a soft, flavorful crust with lively bubbles around the rim.

What to expect in the bag: a finely milled, cleanly scented flour that hydrates evenly and kneads into dough with a natural stretch. The combination of elasticity and strength supports long fermentation and manageable handling during shaping and resting.

Tip for experimentation: use this flour for doughs that rely on fermentation and high-heat baking. If you’re exploring alternate styles or ovens, consider the brand’s Red Chef’s flour for different temperature ranges, while keeping in mind this blue flour’s strengths lie in authentic Neapolitan performance.
