00 as bread flour?

I’m wondering if 00 flour can be used as a substitute for “white” bread flour. Does anyone have experience with that?

I think it works fine if it’s labeled as “strong” Tipo 00. Even with a high protein level, it might take a little less water than bread flour.

From what I can tell, this baker/blogger uses Breadtopia’s strong Tipo 00 for a lot of her breads.

Thanks, Melissa! I have an abundance of Breadtopia’s 00, and I’m not making pizza at the rate I anticipated. I don’t want to waste a single grain, so this is good news. I’ll watch the hydration though, as you suggest.
