The Secret to the Perfect Neapolitan Pizza — At Home!
The secret is using top-notch, fresh ingredients.
Mastering the dough and heating your oven like a wood-fired one is key.
Techniques like *stretching* and the right tomato sauce are crucial for that Neapolitan taste.
For real Neapolitan pizza, use *Caputo flour*, San Marzano tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella.
Add fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil for that Italian flavor.
Mix *high-protein flour*, water, salt, and yeast. Knead until smooth, then let it rest for hours until it doubles.
A simple recipe might have 500g flour, 325ml water, 10g salt, and 2g yeast.
Aim for 800°F (427°C) for Neapolitan pizza.
Preheat your oven to the highest setting. Use a pizza stone or steel.
