It will taste good in most pizza dough recipes, but it can sometimes be more difficult to stretch out as it may tear more easily. All-purpose flour is great for Sicilian and deep-dish pizza crusts and will also do well in thin crust, New York-style, and Neapolitan-style pizzas. Your average supermarket brand is adequate, but many swear by King Arthur Flour.
It will make your crust crispy on the outside and chewy and textured on the inside. It's sold online on the King Arthur Flour website. If you want to make Neapolitan-style pizza, which is thin in the middle and puffs up around the rim, seek out the more expensive Caputo Tipo "00" flour.

The fact is, the label Tipo "00" has nothing to do with protein content.
Rather, it refers to the fineness of the milling. Tipo "00" is the finest grade of flour milled in Italy, and it has a consistency similar to baby powder. It's available with several different levels of protein intended for different baking projects, just like American flours which we'll get to in a moment. The ones you'll most commonly see in pizzerias are the red Rinforzato bag, which features pictures of pizzas and bread, the blue Pizzeria bag, which pictures a single pizza, and — the most common in the U.
All three bags of flour have the exact same protein content: So what's the difference between the Rinforzato and the Pizzeria? Caputo guards that secret very closely, though one could assume it has to do with the blend of wheats that make it into the bag.
As far as baking with them goes, I've not noticed a huge difference between the red and blue bags—both produce admirably workable doughs that produce great crust with a crackly-thin layer of crispness, a nice open and airy hole structure, and just a modicum of chew. I stick with the red bag, because it's easiest to find Whole Foods carries it, and you can order it in 10 kilogram packs from Amazon.
Most Neapolitan pizza dough recipes you see around here attempt to come up with viable substitutes for Caputo " Do yourself a favor and order it online.
King Arthur all-purpose flour has a slightly higher protein content than most other brands, which clock in at around All-purpose flour is exactly what it sounds like. With a moderate protein content, it's does a decent job at a wide range of goods from pizza and bread to cakes and biscuits. However, it doesn't excel at any of them. As you can see, bubble development is limited, giving you a network of relatively small bubbles instead of the large, irregular structure you get with the "00".
With cakes and pastry, you'll have the opposite problem; biscuits come out a little tougher than you'd like, and cakes with a distinct chewiness. If there's only one flour you keep in your pantry, this should be the one, but if you've got the space, you might want to consider a few specialized flours.
American bread flour has a protein content similar to that of the Caputo bread flower King Arthur's actually gets a little bit higher even. The main difference in how it behaves is due to the exact type of wheat used and the grind size—American bread flour produces stretchier, chewier breads than Italian "00" bread flour. Whether or not this is a good thing is totally up to user preference. As you can see, the foam structure bread flour produces is significantly more robust and irregular than that of all-purpose flour.
Similarly, it's also stretchier and chewier. For Neapolitan pizza, this means that you're going to end up with a taller cornicione , and better protection against sagging out with sauce and watery cheese. Will it produce a traditional Neapolitan pizza with a super-crisp, airy, and delicate crust? But the pizza it does produce is great for its own merits. Bread flour requires a little more water than most other flours to produce doughs of equivalent viscosity.
Because of its high protein content, some people may find bread flour doughs a little difficult to stretch — it has a tendency to bounce back. The key is to make sure that it's well-rested before you being to stretch it. Side Note: do not try to bake a cake using bread flour. Protein Content : 9. Of all the types of flour, Cake is the one that produces doughs and batters that are most obviously foam-like, with many small, delicate, tightly packed bubbles.
It's what gives cakes and biscuits their dense yet delicate texture. Because of the misconception that "00" flour is a low-protein flour, many people recommend using some proportion of cake or pastry flour in their pizza dough. While this will indeed produce a softer finished product with a thinner, crisper crust around a tender center, you run into a few problems.
While there are a few large bubbles in the cornicione, these bubbles are not formed by stretching out a small bubble into a large bubble the way they are formed with high-protein flour doughs. Rather, those bubbles are formed when many smaller bubbles collapse and break into each other, due to their weak structure.
The results is a crumb structure that is not so much chewy or stretchy as it is tender. The other, even bigger problem is underneath the sauce and the cheese. Some flours create a crispier crust, while others give you a chewier crust.
The more gluten in the flour, the chewier the crust will be. This percentage falls somewhere in the middle of all flour types, which is why all-purpose flour can be used for pretty much anything.
The crust will be slightly chewy, but much more on the crispy side of things! You get a very chewier, more bread-like pizza crust when you make your dough with bread flour. Since its gluten content is similar to bread flour, it also produces a pizza crust with chew.
The result? A nice balance of crisp and chew in the pizza crust. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content. Create a personalised content profile.
