Why Caputo “00” Baking Flour Makes All the Difference

Ever wonder why bakery treats always taste lighter, softer, and somehow… better?
The secret isn’t in the technique. It’s the flour.

When it comes to baking, flour is the foundation of texture, rise, flavor, and freshness. And when you choose a flour designed specifically for baking, the results speak for themselves.

The Science Behind Better Baking

Professional bakers know that not all flours behave the same. The way flour is milled, the wheat it’s made from, and its protein balance all influence how dough and batter develop, bake, and hold moisture over time.

Caputo “00” Baking Flour is designed with these principles in mind - giving home bakers access to the same level of precision bakeries rely on every day.

What Sets Caputo “00” Baking Flour Apart

An Italian “00” Flour Designed for Baking

In Italy, flours are graded from 2, 1, 0, to 00 - with 00 being the finest.
This designation doesn’t just describe texture; it signals a flour that’s milled and sifted multiple times, and that aids perfectly to the most delicate baking applications.

Caputo “00” Baking Flour is milled multiple times to achieve an ultra-fine, silky consistency that’s ideal for delicate baking applications.

For home bakers, this means:

- Ultra-smooth batters

- More even mixing and consistent results

- Lighter baked goods

Higher Protein Than Typical Pastry Flour

Caputo “00” Baking Flour is made from high-quality wheat, resulting in a slightly higher protein level than standard pastry flour.

That means stronger structure, better rise, and more control over texture, without ever becoming tough or dense.

Scientifically, this happens because higher protein = slower fat absorption.  

Higher-quality protein also affects how flour absorbs fats.

This is where Caputo “00” Baking Flour truly stands apart.

Because Caputo “00” Baking Flour is finely milled and made from carefully selected wheat, it’s engineered to perform consistently across a wide range of everyday baking applications.

The result is greater control, better consistency and bakery-level results – without having to change your recipes or techniques.
