You don't but it doesn't hurt to use 00.

OP, be sure to sift first.

Check the King Arthur website. They sell it in 2-3lb bags at most stores up here:

I cooked some on my Kamado over the weekend. First one came out good at 600 degrees for about two minutes like the videos recommended. The rest seemed to burn. Was it the flour I put on the bottom so they wouldn’t stick?

Also how much kneading do you need to do? Why can’t you just roll it out with a roller?

00 floue refers to the grind. Yes, King Arthur doesn't use Italian wheat, but they do grind it finely like 00 flour.

I've used it (often). It makes a great pizza dough.

KA is being a bit dishonest confusing consumers with a 00 label.
yes any bread flour will make good pizza regardless of the grind.
however try as they might american wheat can not duplicate the taste
extensibility and baking qualities of Italian wheat.

I understand the difference. And for those that bake a lot of bread and make a significant amount of pizza, there is a difference.

That said, the KA 00 makes a very nice pizza dough. I've used it many times.
