Nelstrops Forza 00
Read the ingredients before you believe the label. Nelstrops calls this a 00 pizza flour, and the pack backs it with 14.9% protein and a Great Taste 3 Star Gold, but the fine print lists added wheat gluten and ascorbic acid. This is a fortified blend engineered for strength, not a naturally strong Italian-milled 00, and at 14.9% it is stronger than typical Italian mill 00 bags. The mill claims excellent extensibility and a crisp crust, and owner reviews echo that it holds a long ferment without slackening. Treat it as the powerful option for big hydrations and long schedules, and expect it to fight back if you stretch it like a soft Neapolitan dough.
How the calculator uses this flour
- Fermentation window. With 14.9% protein, the dough peaks after about 12 h at 22°C, inside a 6.5–20 h window. In the fridge at 4°C, it holds 9.5–75 h.
- Hydration range. From its specs, Pandough estimates 61–71% water, and the calculator's hydration band starts there. For Traditional Napoletana in a 290°C home oven, it recommends 64–68%.
