Review: Central Milling Type 00 "Normal" Flour

[thezaman]

 john, beautiful pizzas!! i like your evaluation that it tastes like american flour. i have often thought that the caputo just has a different taste. i think i will stick to the bay state organic bread when i change up my crust. i think it is really close in its absorption to caputo.
  oh those were all cooked in your p70 yes!!! if so that is the little oven that could!

These pies look awesome.. I just ordered a bag through a local wholesaler for $36!

What a steal! Let us know how it works for you.

Thanks Larry. I have a bag of the Bay State Contadino 00 coming in and hope to do a review here. I had a small test bag a few months back and it performed much more in line with Caputo than the CM 00. Nicky Giusto made it clear that the CM is not a clone - it is meant to perform the same in some ways, but not be a direct clone of Caputo. The Contadino however is aiming to be a clone.
