Recipe for the Neapolitan pizza

Introduction

The formula of pizza dough is the same of bread so you can use the baker's one. The dough is the most important thing to make pizza. It's better to do it at home because you can use the right tricks.

Flour

It's not easy to recognize the right quality of flour. In any case the hard wheats stick with hands and slide better. When you make a dough with water you'll see tenaciousness, elasticity and expansion of the pasta. Flour needs time to mature (2 - 3 weeks) according to years.

Yeast

Yeast comes from fermentation of beer must (fresh beer yeast).

Water

For a good dough you should use water moderately hard with a "ph" around 5-6.If the water is too alkaline the rising will be slow. When water is sweet you'll use more salt.

Tomato

Tomato is essential for Neapolitan pizza. The most utilized tomato is San Marzano quality even if you can choose other types like "Fiaschetto"....At Naples we usually pick up tomatoes still green and we let them to mature hung up on a beam.

Mozzarella

It's one of the basic ingredients for the classic pizza. Buffalo's mozzarella was the ingredient that gave the name to the famous Pizza Margherita. Today you can use "Buffalo" or "Fiordilatte" mozzarella.

Cheese

Together with other ingredients you should dust the pizza with Parmigiano cheese.

Oil

Also oil is important for preparation of pizza. It's necessary to choose a good quality of it, the best is extravirgin oil.

Basil

Basil is precious pot-herb which smells good. It comes from East and it marries with tomato very well. Basil is definite "the grass of Kings" and its use is important for the real Neapolitan pizza.

Preparation

For 6 medium pizzas you need of 800 gr of flour and 40 gr of yeast. Mix part of the flour with yeast melted with some warm water in winter or room temperature in summer. After this operation you have a ball of pasta which has to rest untill its volume will be doubled. Put the pasta on a rolling-board with remaining flour and start to work it till when you obtain a smooth, soft and elastic dough. Separate pasta in 6 parts and take one till you have a thin disk with thick boards. Do the same thing with the other parts. Put on them all the ingredients that we said before. Start with tomato and then mozzarella when you want pizza Margherita. It's important to cut Mozzarella in little strips. Put it into oven at maximum temperature, naturally at home the time of cooking is longer than in a wood-oven.
