I found an Italian grocery store here in the Twin Cities that sells OO flour. I bought a few packages of OO flour and hoping to do some pizza this weekend. Here's the problem, I'm very much a rookie working with flour/dough. So I was wondering if anyone has a simple pizza dough recipe for OO flour? Something in Layman terms that I can follow. Thanks guys much appreciated!

    I like to leave mine in the fridge for 2-3 days, but one is ok. 2-3 is just better.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I got started with 00 flour using the same recipe that Carolina Q just posted . . . very good recipe as long as you cook at HIGH temp.

    NDG, good point, I think. :) Never been below 725° with that flour/recipe. And as high as 900°. No idea what happens if you use 00 and the FB hydration and bake at say, 500°.

    I agree with @Carolina Q and @NDG This is the only way I do my pizzas now. It handles the heat great but is very wet when handling it. I'm also in MN, what store did you find OO at?

    No. Only us AP or bread flour. OO needs really high heat. Basically double the heat bread bakes at.

    @bigguy136 - Cossettas market place in St. Paul. (Connected to restaurant building) There's also Delmonico's Italian Foods in NE Minneapolis that has OO flour. They just changed ownership and weren't open when we stopped over. (I think they are open now) We talked with the new owner and she mentioned that they were going to be keeping the same products but making it more of a convenience store

    I used to live just down the street from Delmonico's.  Going to have to check out either one of those!

    @RiverRatSkier I would call Delmonico's first to double check that they have OO flour. I have read that others have purchased OO there in the past but might want to double check with it being a new owner. Cossettas 100% carries it. I would like to check out Delmonico's at some point. I've only read positive reviews about the food and service
