Where can I buy tipo 00 flour?

Tipo 00 flour is usually available in specialty food stores, Italian grocery stores, and online marketplaces. You can also find it at some larger supermarkets or gourmet shops.

What is the difference between tipo 00 flour and all-purpose flour?

Tipo 00 flour is finely ground and has a lower protein content compared to all-purpose flour. All-purpose flour is more versatile and can be used for a variety of baking purposes, while tipo 00 flour is specifically designed for pasta and pizza dough.

Does tipo 00 flour need to be sifted before use?

Sifting tipo 00 flour is not necessary unless the recipe specifically calls for it. However, if you prefer a lighter and finer texture, you can sift the flour before using it.

Ingredients

It is best to make this flour in just enough quantity that you will use right away. This means it won’t develop clumps in storage. For this recipe, I used just under a cup of each flour.

226 grams of cake flour
226 grams of all-purpose flour

Instructions

Step 1. Using a kitchen scale, measure equal parts cake flour and all-purpose flour. I did just under 1 cup of each (226 grams).

Step 2. Sift both flours together 2 or 3 times to get it to an ultrafine consistency, just like Tipo 00!

Step 3. Use it as soon as possible so it does not have a chance to form clumps and remains ultra fine. Otherwise, store it in an airtight container in the fridge or pantry.

And there you have it! A superfine substitute for Tipo 00 for the ultimate pizza crust. Happy baking!

Notes

Using a kitchen scale and measuring each flour by gram rather than by cup is best. This ensures that you have exactly the same amount of both flours in your mix.
It is best used immediately so clumps do not develop and create a less-than-ultrafine texture!
