Pulcinella Oro Flour: Designed for the Perfect Pizza Dough
Molini Pizzuti Pulcinella Oro offers Italian craftsmanship and quality for professional pizza artisans and home bakers alike. With a W value of 260, this flour provides medium strength, making it perfect for pizzas that need moderate resting times between 12 to 24 hours. This fermentation period allows the dough to develop depth of flavor and a light, airy structure.
Molini Pizzuti Pulcinella Oro Optimal Water Absorption and Dough Texture
The water absorption rate of Pulcinella Oro is 56%, making it ideal for medium-hydration doughs. This characteristic allows the dough to maintain its structure while achieving a soft, open crumb and a crispy, well-defined crust. The flour’s P/L ratio of 0.65 offers the right level of extensibility, making it easy to handle and shape into larger pizzas, up to 38-40 cm in diameter, without sacrificing elasticity.
Key Features and Versatile Uses
Pulcinella Oro is crafted with direct doughs in mind but performs equally well with indirect doughs and pre-ferments, such as BIGA. This versatility makes it suitable for a variety of pizza styles, from traditional Neapolitan to contemporary pizzas with thicker, airy crusts. It’s compatible with both wood-fired and electric ovens, allowing for consistent results across different cooking methods.
