Belbake (Lidl)Strong White Bread Flour
Not a pizza flour, but the flour most British home bakers actually reach for when they make pizza, because it is on the shelf every day of the year at around a pound. At 11.7% protein it is strong enough for an overnight dough, and it browns more readily in a domestic oven than an unmalted Italian 00, which is a real advantage when you cannot get past 250°C. No W is published. Expect a chewier, breadier crust than a Neapolitan flour gives, which for a home oven bake is often the better outcome.
