Our 00 Style Pizza Flour is a fine wheat flour that makes an excellent pizza in 1 hour following our Neapolitan Style Pizza recipe. Besides pizza, it can also be used to make artisan breads, ciabatta, focaccia, bread sticks and crackers. One bag of 00 Style Pizza Flour makes 13 12” pizzas.

Neapolitan Style Pizza Dough is typically quite sticky, which can sometimes make the dough difficult to handle. If the dough is too sticky, add additional flour 1 tbsp (15mL) at a time until it is easier to manage. The result will still be excellent!

‘00’ is a term used in Italy to describe the flour milling grade and protein level – it is not a term used in North America and we do not grade flour by milling size.

The term “00” can only be used to describe flour milled in Italy. Since our flour is grown and milled in Canada, the term “00 Style” must be used.

The key difference is that Robin Hood 00 Style Pizza Flour is a fine wheat flour does not contain additives or enzymes which results in different dough behaviors and makes pizza crusts that are crispy, chewy, airy, and flavourful.

Robin Hood “00 Style” Pizza Flour is not an All Purpose Flour. It is ideal for pizzas, focaccia, flatbreads, artisan breads (like no knead breads) Calzones/Panzerotti.

A typical Neapolitan Style Pizza has a crispy crust, airy crust with minimal toppings – usually tomatoes, cheese and fresh basil. They are typically cooked at a very high heat for a very short period of time.

A typical Neapolitan Style Pizza dough is quite wet and sticky – it is often referred to as a high hydration dough meaning it contains high moisture and can therefore be harder to handle. The solution is to ensure that hands and surfaces are well-floured so the dough does not stick. If the dough is still too sticky, continue flouring the surface and allowing the dough to absorb the flour until is easier to handle. A general rule is: the wetter the dough, the lighter and airier the pizza crust.

Typically, this style of pizza should be baked in a high temperature oven specifically designed for pizza. As this is not possible in a home kitchen, it is best to set the oven temperature to the highest setting, heat up a pizza stone and bake the pizza on the hot stone.

Store in a clean, dry area at room temperature.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has issued a reminder on the safe usages and proper handling of flour. It is important to note that flour is made from wheat that is minimally processed. Cookie dough or batter made with raw flour should not be consumed, and flour should not be considered a ready-to-eat product. It is an ingredient for baked, fried, and cooked products, and these heating processes ensure the safety of the flour with proper handling.

The following tips from PHAC outline steps to ensure the proper usage and handling of flour:

• Do not taste raw dough or batter. Eating a small amount could make you sick.
• Bake or cook items made with raw dough or batter before eating them.
• Always use hot water and soap to wash any bowls, utensils, or surfaces that flour was used on.
• Wash your hands with soap and warm water immediately after touching flour, raw dough or batter.
• Contact your healthcare provider if you think you have become ill from eating raw dough or batter or from consuming or handling a flour product.
