STRA Pizza BellaNapoli Pizza Mehl
What it is
This is a finely milled flour specifically designed for making authentic Neapolitan-style pizza dough. The specific milling process contributes to its unique texture and handling properties, making it ideal for achieving the characteristic leopard spotting and slight char on a pizza baked at high temperatures.
How people cook with it
This flour is the foundation for creating traditional pizza bases. It is best suited for recipes that require a soft, pliable dough that can be stretched thin.
- Homemade pizza crusts
- Artisan bread
- Focaccia
- Calzones
Begin by combining the flour with water and yeast. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, which can take about 10-15 minutes by hand or slightly less with a stand mixer. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, typically a few hours. Then, shape the dough into individual pizza bases, topping with your favorite ingredients before baking in a very hot oven.
How it differs from similar foods
This results in a dough that is more extensible and can withstand high baking temperatures without becoming tough, producing a lighter, airier crust with better chew.
Who it is for
Home cooks and amateur bakers who want to replicate authentic Italian pizza at home.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store the flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it.
