About the Flour Codex

The Flour Codex lists pizza and bread flours by region (UK, US, Netherlands, Italy, and more), with protein, type, W-value where available, and which pizza styles each flour suits. Filter by brand, category, or style fit, then open a flour to see bake notes or send it to the dough calculator.

Pair flour choice with a style from the Pizza Style Codex or start from the dough calculator and pick flour there.

Frequently asked questions

What flour is best for Neapolitan pizza?

Strong tipo 00 or bread flour around 12–13% protein is typical. Use the Flour Codex to filter by style fit, compare protein and W-value, and jump to the calculator with a flour pre-selected.

What does W-value mean on pizza flour?

W-value (or strength) describes how much stress dough can handle before weakening, which is useful when matching flour to long ferments or high hydration. The codex shows W when the mill publishes it.

Can I use plain flour for pizza dough?

Plain or all-purpose flour works for thin or same-day doughs; dedicated pizza or bread flour gives better structure for long ferments and high heat. Browse by category to see what each flour suits.
