Nuvola
Antimo Caputo
Type 0 flour specifically engineered for high-hydration, cloud-like pizza (nuvola means 'cloud' in Italian). Creates light, airy crusts with dramatic honeycomb structure. Popular for contemporary Neapolitan and Roman-style pizzas. Note: can feel stickier than expected at standard hydration - it wants more water.
Optimal hydration: 65% – 75%
Strong flour with good extensibility. Handles high hydration well. Best results at the upper end of the optimal range.
Optimal fermentation: 18-24 hoursat 22°C
OfficialOfficial Caputo FAQ: direct doughs up to 18-24h leavening at ~22°C.

5friends now call me the pizza guy. every bbq every party every birthday... "yo can you bring the pizza?" not complaining tbh this flour makes me look way better than i actually am
nice flour. browns fast tho
DONT go above 67% with regular Nuvola. I see recipes online saying 70-72% and thats Nuvola Super (W320+), not the regular one (W280). Made this mistake 3 times before someone on pizzamaking.com pointed it out. Regular Nuvola at 70% is a sticky unworkable mess
biga 48h with nuvola is the cheat code nobody talks about. 67% total hydration, cold biga at 18C for 2 days then final mix. the flavor complexity is insane compared to direct method... like a completley different flour
canotto game 🔥
Pandough is still early
There's one person and a lot of passion behind Pandough. I do my best to keep the data accurate, but at this scale small hiccups can happen. If you spot anything — let me know. Any form of support is hugely appreciated. Thank you for being here.
