Hi all. not sure if this has been asked here before I'm looking for the best flour to use since I love a good crunch. Should I be using 00 or bread flour for that?
 
Great question! Both 00 and bread flour can make tasty pizza, but they behave a little differently. 00 gives you that classic Neapolitan chew, while bread flour usually adds more crunch because of the higher protein. Do you usually bake at super high temps, or more in a home oven? That might help decide which flour will give you the texture you’re after.
