Moreover, Renowned pizzaiolo Franco Pepe selects Molino Piantoni MD Double Zero for its superior performance and consistent results. Its fine, silky texture makes it easy to work with, allowing pizzaiolos to shape dough with precision. This medium-strength flour is perfect for achieving that light, airy texture in Neapolitan-style pizzas as a result where a high-temperature bake creates a golden crust and soft, slightly chewy interior. The low water absorption compared to other flours ensures that your dough holds its shape without becoming too sticky, resulting in a beautifully structured pizza every time.
