Pizza Flour 00
Stone Mill: Wild Hive Farm (Clinton Corners, NY)
Ingredients: Heirloom Hard Red Wheat, Hard Red Spring Wheat, Ancient Rye
Wild Hive Pizza Flour 00 is a finely milled, high-performance blend of grains designed for strength, extensibility, and exceptional oven spring. With 14% protein, this flour delivers the structure needed for pizza doughs that stretch easily, hold their shape, and bake up with a crisp exterior and airy interior.
The “00” refers to the fine grind and level of sifting, creating a silky flour that’s easy to hydrate and smooth to handle. Unlike single-grain flours, this blend is intentionally formulated for versatility—strong enough for long fermentations, yet refined enough for applications beyond pizza.
While it excels in high-heat pizza baking, this flour also performs beautifully in pasta dough, where strength and elasticity are essential. The result is dough that rolls smoothly, resists tearing, and cooks up with great bite.
Best for:
• Neapolitan- and New York–style pizza
• Long-fermentation doughs
• Fresh pasta and noodles
• Flatbreads and focaccia
Baker’s tip:
This flour shines with longer fermentations. Cold fermenting pizza dough for 24–72 hours helps develop flavor and improves extensibility without overworking the dough.
Freshly milled, carefully blended, and never bleached or enriched—this is a versatile, professional-grade flour built for serious home bakers and pizza lovers alike.
Wild Hive Farm operates a flour mill using traditional stone grinding methods. They have received considerable recognition for its flour, which is milled in small batches from organic grain purchased from local and regional farmers.
