Amazing flour. I never made pizza dough from scratch before so I was amazed that my first attempt worked out as well as it did. I used to buy frozen pizza dough from Walmart which worked well enough. When they ran out of that I'd buy frozen bread dough which also worked well enough. Neither tasted like the pizza you get from a pizzeria though. They were a pain to work with as well since when you tried to roll it out or stretch by hand, the dough was like stretching a rubber band that wanted to go back to its original size. This dough would roll out and stay that way.

I used four cups of flour and a cup and half of water which yielded three balls of dough sufficient for a 12-inch pizza each. I mixed it using a hand mixer with dough hooks which, is probably not best for everyone since it does take a bit of strength toward the end to manage the mixer and the bowl. The main disadvantage I had was using a NuWave oven that has a maximum temperature of 350 degrees. It's impossible to get the crust browned before the toppings are overcooked. Nevertheless, with a steel pizza 'stone' the crust was cooked and it tasted like real pizza.

I have 4.8 pounds of flour left. If you use Red Star Active from a 2 pound pouch a dough ball for a 12-inch pizza costs $1.15

I am confused as alot of people love this stuff and a lot of people hate it. I received mine a bit ago, but didn't open the Amazon box. It is in a plastic bag but seemed really light. I had 3.6 lbs in mine and the floor is not like the 00 flour I usually get. I have bought it in bags at Lunardi's Markets and loose at Whole Foods. Whatever this is is different. I would guess someone is purchasing Great Value all purpose for a couple of bucks per bag and getting as much as they can in a small plastic bag and sending that out for 15 dollars. Live an learn. For the record I built a wood fired domed pizza oven from scratch and make dough for about 75 pizzas at a time. I use a mix of 00 and semolina flour and have quite a bit of experience. Try a different product as this is different. Caputo itself is really cool, but this doesn't seem to be Caputo.

I did not recieve Antimo Caputo flour i got a knock off bag that had a hole in it and leaked all over the box it came in. - waste of time and money

I bought this flour out of desperation when I was set on trying to make a perfect pizza dough, since I like eating pizza but all the local pizza joints in my area are just terrible. The flour came wrapped in 2 or 3 plastic bags, which is fine since it was labeled as a repack (they probably get this stuff in 50 pound bags). I decided to make a couple pizzas today and it worked out great! It give a crunchier crust over regular all purpose flour and cooks nicely in my oven at 425 for 15 minutes. BTW I also use the pizza pans that have holes in them. They seem to be the ticket for a nice crispy crusty.

I was shorted almost a pound. Very unhappy.
