Preparation Guidance

Caputo Tipo 1 is incredibly versatile and shines in recipes where rustic texture and deep flavor are desired.

Higher Hydration: The increased fiber and bran content absorb significantly more water than standard 00 flour. When using it, bakers generally aim for a target hydration of 65% or higher to prevent the dough from feeling too tight
