Frequently Asked Questions
Will this flour replace the all-purpose flour I keep in my home pantry?
Yes. Molino Grassi Tipo 00 handles pizza dough, fresh egg pasta, focaccia, cakes, and cookies in a single bag, so most home bakers can use it as their everyday flour and only keep specialty blends for very specific loaves.
Is the 2.2 lb bag a good size for a regular home kitchen?
For a household that bakes weekly, 2.2 lb lasts through several pizza nights or a few batches of fresh pasta. It is compact enough to store in a standard pantry without taking up shelf space.
Does the resealable-friendly bag keep the flour fresh between bakes?
Yes. The bag format is designed to be closed securely after each use, which helps preserve the fine grind and the flavor of the flour over time in a typical home pantry.
Can I use this on my outdoor pizza oven as well as inside?
Absolutely. The Tipo 00 grind performs on a pizza stone in a conventional oven, in a countertop pizza oven, and on an outdoor pizza oven, giving you the same Neapolitan-style crust across setups.
Does this work in my bread machine when I want to bake loaf-style bread?
Yes. Many home bakers blend Molino Grassi 00 with semolina or stone-ground flour at roughly a one-third substitution ratio and let the dough hydrate for about two minutes before kneading for best results.
How do I make Neapolitan-style pizza dough with this flour?
Combine about 500 g of Molino Grassi 00 flour with roughly 325 g of water, 10 g of salt, 2 g of instant yeast, and a small amount of olive oil. Mix, knead for about 10 minutes, let the dough rest for at least 8 hours in the refrigerator, then divide, shape by hand, and bake at the highest temperature your oven allows on a preheated pizza stone.
How do I make fresh egg pasta at home with this flour?
Mound about 200 g of 00 flour on a clean surface, create a well in the center, and add 2 large eggs plus an optional yolk for richness. Whisk the eggs while gradually pulling in flour until a shaggy dough forms, knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth, wrap and rest 30 minutes, then roll thin with a pasta machine or rolling pin and cut into tagliatelle, pappardelle, or ravioli shapes.
Can I blend this flour with semolina or other flours for bread machines?
Yes. A common approach is to substitute about one-third of your usual bread flour with Molino Grassi 00, optionally adding semolina for a rustic texture, and let the dough rest for about two minutes after the initial hydration to allow the fine 00 grind to absorb liquid fully before kneading begins.
Does this flour work with stand mixer pasta attachments and extruders?
Yes. The fine Tipo 00 grind is well suited to KitchenAid, Atlas, Marcato, and similar roller attachments as well as countertop extruders for shaping tagliatelle, spaghetti, penne, and gnocchi.
Can I use this with Bob's Red Mill semolina or King Arthur durum flour for pasta?
Yes. Many home pasta makers blend Molino Grassi 00 with Bob's Red Mill semolina or King Arthur durum flour to balance elasticity and bite, which produces noodles with both a silky body and a pleasant chew.
What is in the bag when it arrives and do I need to buy anything else?
You receive one 2.2 lb (35.2 oz) bag of Molino Grassi USDA Organic Italian Soft Wheat Tipo 00 flour. You will only need basic kitchen tools, water, salt, yeast for bread or pizza, and eggs for pasta, plus optionally a pizza stone, pasta roller, or extruder depending on your recipe.
Does the flour contain allergens I should be aware of?
It contains wheat as the primary allergen and may contain soy from shared processing, which is clearly disclosed on the label. It is not a gluten-free product and is not suitable for people with celiac disease or wheat allergies.
Is the wheat processed with glyphosate, bromides, or other chemicals?
No. Molino Grassi's organic soft wheat is grown and processed without glyphosate or bromides, which is part of why it is favored by bakers looking for cleaner flour options than conventional American wheat.
What is the difference between Tipo 00 flour and all-purpose flour?
Tipo 00 refers to the fineness of the grind, not the protein content, and Italian 00 flour is typically milled from soft wheat, which produces a finer, silkier texture ideal for pizza, fresh pasta, and pastry, whereas all-purpose flour is a coarser grind from harder wheat blends designed for general-purpose baking.
