Absolutely! You can use pizza flour to make bread. Pizza flour, often labeled as "00" flour, is finely ground and has a high protein content, making it ideal for pizza dough. However, these characteristics also make it suitable for various types of bread.

You're adding WAY too much yeast (you only need 1/4 tsp for 3C flour) and this is the primary reason why you're getting a bready result…that's lots of CO2 production which blossoms before and initially during baking giving you a puffy, porous result.

Yes. I used pizza yeast to make bread when there were yeast shortages. It was fine. If you've had it for a while, there's a risk that the yeast has died, so I would advise doing the proof step in warm sugar water and make sure it foams.

Can I use 00 flour for cakes, pasta and bread? It is generally fine to use type 00 in the same way that you use all-purpose flour. They share a similar protein content, but the difference is in their texture.
