Did you know: authentic Italian pizza tends to use '00 Flour'. This type of flour has a strong protein content to help with that stretchy, elastic dough.

  • Use 250-280g of dough for a classic 12-inch pizza base. Use the 250g for a thin crust and 280g for a thick crust.
Pizza base in inches Dough weight (thick base) Dough weight (thin base)
9 inch 140g 160g
10 inch 160g 200g
12 inch 225g 250g
12 inch 400g 450g

Take the guess working out of baker percentages for bread.

Some tips:

  • The amount of flour in your bread dough mix will determine the amount of yeast, water, and salt.
  • A medium store-bought loaf is 800g. The recommended flour used in a medium loaf is 500g-550g.
  • Use a 2lb (0.91 kg) tin to support a 800g baked loaf.
