Caputo Cuoco Tipo 00 Flour (Chef's Flour)

$34.99
Description

Cuoco is for people who plan.

At 300 to 320 W and 13.5% protein, it holds a 24 to 72 hour ferment without slackening. That time is the whole point. The dough fills with bubbles, the crust lightens, and the wheat flavour goes somewhere a short rise never reaches.

Long fermentation also works through the sugars, which is why a properly fermented Neapolitan sits so easily after a meal.

This is the red bag Naples keeps in the back. If your dough balls go into the fridge two or three days before they hit the oven, this is your flour. If they do not, Pizzeria will serve you better.

Available in 1 kg and 5 kg.

How to work with it

Where to start

  • Hydration of 62 to 70%, the strength lets it take on plenty of water
  • Ferment 24 to 48 hours in the fridge, then 3 to 4 hours at room temperature
  • Dough balls of 250 to 280 g for a twelve inch pizza

Going into the oven

  • Take the dough balls out early, cold dough opens badly and tears
  • Durum semolina under the ball rather than flour, it burns less
  • 430 to 450 °C for a bake in 60 to 90 seconds

If you decide in the morning to make pizza the same evening, take the Pizzeria instead, which rises in 8 to 24 hours.

FAQ

Cuoco, Chef's Flour, Saccorosso: are they the same?

Same flour. Cuoco is the Italian name, Chef's Flour is the export name, and Saccorosso simply means red bag. One product, one mill, one grind.

What hydration should I run?

Between 62 and 70%. The strength lets it take more water than Pizzeria without turning unmanageable. Start at 65 and climb once your stretch is confident.

What happens if I ferment it under 24 hours?

The dough stays tight and springs back when you open it. Strength needs time to relax. Under 24 hours, Pizzeria or Classica will give you a better pizza.
