What is it?

Pizza Flour is a wheat flour specially suited for making pizza dough. It is formulated to create dough with a good balance of strength, elasticity, and extensibility, allowing it to stretch into a thin or thick pizza base without tearing easily.

Depending on the type, pizza flour can be used for Neapolitan-style pizza, thin-crust pizza, New York-style pizza, pan pizza, and other homemade pizza bases.
