Green is the working loaf. Gold is the last mix that still has a gluten net. Red past the ceiling is a sticky puddle.

- Wheat type
- Soft Wheat / High-W blend
- Extraction
- Tipo 00 (≤0.55% ash)
- Enzymatic profile
- Unmalted / Slow Ferment
How it handles
Extensible, fine mill, long W. It wants a 24–72 h cold ferment, not a wet country mix. 64% is a workable Roman or focaccia dough. 70% is the ceiling for a dough you can still stretch. 75% “Tartine” hydration here is a sticky puddle — the 00 ash cap is not a bread-flour ceiling.
Good for
- Roman Pizza
- Focaccia
- Long Cold Retard
