Pizza flour: choose strength W and characteristics for your dough

Flour cannot be chosen from one number alone. Strength W, P/L balance, absorption, fermentation length, hydration and pizza style should work together. Pizzood places these variables inside the dough plan.

Pizzood is free: calculate and plan your dough and, with a free account, save recipes, photos and test notes.

Flour strength W and fermentation length

A stronger flour can generally support longer processes, but W is not a timer: method, temperature and flour composition also matter.

Flour, hydration and pizza style

Neapolitan, contemporary, tray and Roman-style pizza can need different dough behavior. Evaluate flour with water and process, not in isolation.
