FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What does '00' mean in 00 flour?
The '00' refers to the texture of the flour, indicating it is the finest grind available on the Italian milling scale.
Can I substitute All-Purpose flour for 00 flour?
Yes, you can substitute it 1:1, but the texture will be slightly different; 00 flour produces a silkier pasta and a crispier, thinner pizza crust.
Is 00 flour gluten-free?
No, 00 flour is made from wheat and contains gluten.
Why is 00 flour preferred for pizza?
Its fine grind allows it to be rolled very thin without tearing and results in a crust that is crispy on the outside and tender inside.
How long does 00 flour last?
When stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, it typically lasts 6 to 12 months.
Is 00 flour the same as bread flour?
No, bread flour usually has a higher gluten content and a coarser grind compared to the very fine 00 flour.
Can I use 00 flour for cakes?
Yes, it can be used for cakes and pastries where a delicate, tender crumb is desired.
Does 00 flour need to be sifted?
Because it is already so finely milled, it rarely needs sifting unless it has developed clumps from moisture.
Is 00 flour bleached?
Authentic Italian 00 flour is typically unbleached, though you should check the specific brand's label.
