Antimo Caputo Pizzeria Flour Blue, 11 Pound (5Kg) Bag - Italian 00 Flour - Soft Wheat for Pizza Dough - Makes that Perfectly Elastic, Chewy, Crispy Bubble Neapolitan Pizza

I read that this was for pizzeria ovens after I purchased it. Once it was here I thought I might as well see if I can make it work at home. I followed this recipe:Basic Vera Pizza Napoletana Dough Recipe Ingredients By Volume • 4 cups Molino Caputo Tipo 00 flour • 1 ½ cups, plus 2-3 Tbs water • 2 tsp salt • 1/2 tsp dry active yeast By Weight • 500gr Molino Caputo Tipo 00 flour • 325 gr water (65% hydration) • 10 gr salt • 3 gr dry active yeast We highly recommend cooking by weight. It is fast, and easy to get the exact hydration (water to flour ratio) and dough ball size you want. Personally, I do not use recipes or a mixing cup when I cook dinner for the family, but pizza and bread dough are di!erent. Being exact counts, and nothing works better than a digital scale. Mix the dough in a stand mixer, by hand or in a bread machine. If you are using a stand mixer, mix it slowly for two minutes, until you have made a ball. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, to allow the flour to absorb the water. Then, mix at a middle speed (3 or 4 on a KitchenAid) for 5 minutes, and slow for 2 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a slightly oiled bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or until double. Punch it down and push out the air bubbles. Form the dough into a large ball, then cut it into 4-5 equal pieces. To make your pizza balls, shape each piece of dough into a ball. Gently shape your dough into a ball, then stretch the top of the ball down and around the rest of the ball, until the outer layer wraps around the other side. Pinch the two ends together to make a smooth ball with a tight outer "skin." Set your ball seam-side down where it can rest. Dust your pizza balls with flour, and store them under a damp towel, in a proofing tray, or under plastic wrap. This will prevent the outside of the ball from drying out and creating a crust, and becoming di#cult to work with. The top of the pizza ball should be soft and silky. Your pizza balls will need to rest for about an hour to become soft and elastic, so that they can be easily stretched into a thin crust pizza. If you don’t need your pizza balls for a few hours, you should refrigerate them, and bring them back out of the refrigerator an hour or so before you want to use them. Try making your pizza balls the day before you need them. Overnight refrigeration helps the dough develop more flavor, and a fully developed dough browns better in your oven. Once the dough was ready I heated my oven to 550. I got out my cast iron skillets and got them hot too. Then I made my pizza on the peel and slid it into the hot skillet. I cooked it on the stove top for 4 minutes or so. Then right before I put the pan back in the oven I turned the broiler on. Once the pan was in the oven I sprayed water in the bottom of the oven and closed the door. I cooked it for about 4 minutes or so. This was as good as this gourmet pizza I get! The crust bubbled up and had so much flavor and crunch! Don't hesitate just because you don't have a brick oven! This stuff is worth it!!!
