She seems to get good results and explains well. She uses a mix of bread flour and AP. 

I don't make much pastry, but from my experience making pizzas, the flour strength is not very important in terms of elasticity and ease of stretching, as long as you form a good gluten network. I wouldn't use AP flour by itself, but using only bread flour or a mix of both should be fine. 

The important thing for an easy to roll dough is a long rest time, at least overnight. 

I don't use 00 flour (super fine) but many pizza makers choose it for making very thinly rolled pizzas. 

Also, adding a little fat to the dough helps to prevent tearing.
