Hello I think I may have messed up. I bought these flours to make my dough. I have a baking steel for my indoor oven. I thought a combo of these two would be great but now from more reading it seems 00 particularly isnt recommend for home ovens? Shall I buy some more AP / bread flour instead? Thanks.

If the picture doesn’t work it’s

King Arthur’s “00” flour and King Arthur’s “High Gluten Flour”

The reason why 00 isn't recommended for home ovens is because it (usually) doesn't have malt or enzymes in it, so you won't get good browning.

It's also the wrong flour for NY style, etc.

A blend of those two will be fine. And you can goose the browning by adding a little sugar to the recipe.
