Achieve authentic Italian baking at home with our Special White Flour (00 Flour). Finely milled for an exceptionally smooth texture, 00 flour is the preferred choice for making silky fresh pasta, light pizza dough and artisan breads.

Whether you’re creating crispy Neapolitan-style pizza, homemade pasta or delicate focaccia, this premium flour delivers outstanding texture, elasticity and flavour.

What is 00 flour?

00 flour, also known as Special White Flour, is an Italian-style wheat flour that is milled much more finely than standard plain flour. The “00” refers to the finest milling grade, giving it an incredibly soft, silky texture.

This fine grind allows dough to become smooth, elastic and easy to work with, making it ideal for pizza, pasta and artisan baking.

What is 00 flour used for?

00 flour is incredibly versatile and is commonly used to make:

• Neapolitan-style pizza
• Homemade fresh pasta
• Focaccia
• Ciabatta
• Artisan breads
• Bread rolls
• Flatbreads
• Cakes
• Pastries
• Biscuits
• Pizza bases
• Calzones

Its ultra-fine texture makes it an excellent choice for both savoury and sweet baking, producing smooth doughs, tender cakes and beautifully textured baked goods.

Can I use 00 flour instead of plain flour?

Yes. 00 flour can be substituted for plain flour in many recipes, including pizza, fresh pasta, breads, cakes, biscuits and pastries. Its finely milled texture helps create smooth doughs and can produce cakes and baked goods with a soft, delicate crumb.

Whether you’re baking bread or preparing your favourite cake recipe, 00 flour is a versatile pantry staple that delivers consistently excellent results.

What is the difference between 00 flour and plain flour?

The biggest difference is the milling.

00 flour is milled much more finely than plain flour, creating a silky texture that produces smooth doughs with excellent elasticity. Depending on the brand, 00 flour may also have a higher protein content than plain flour, making it particularly suitable for pizza and bread.

Plain flour is generally better suited to cakes, biscuits and everyday baking.

Is 00 flour the best flour for pizza?

Yes. 00 flour is widely considered the best flour for authentic Italian and Neapolitan-style pizza. Its fine texture and excellent gluten development help create a pizza base that’s crisp on the outside, light and airy on the inside, with a beautifully chewy crust.

Is 00 flour the same as bread flour?
Not exactly. While some 00 flours have a similar protein content to bread flour, the main difference is the fineness of the milling. Bread flour is milled more coarsely, whereas 00 flour has a much softer, finer texture.
Some premium 00 flours are specifically designed for pizza and bread, while others are intended for fresh pasta, so it’s always best to choose the right flour for your recipe.

Can I use 00 flour for homemade pasta?
Absolutely. 00 flour is one of the most popular flours for fresh pasta because its fine texture creates smooth, silky dough that rolls easily and produces tender pasta with excellent bite.

How should I store 00 flour?
Store your flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. Proper storage helps maintain freshness and ensures consistent baking results.
