PIZZA NEAPOLITANA

  • 30 grams of salt
  • 600ml of water
  • 2 g fresh yeast
  • 1 kg of flour, tipo 00
  • 50ml olive oil
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 can of San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp pizza & pasta spice preparation COOKandGRILL
  • 1 scoop of buffalo mozzarella
  • 30 g basil, fresh
  • Mix the San Marzano tomatoes with the Pizza&Pasta spice preparation.
  • Dissolve the salt in the water.
  • Rub the fresh yeast between your palms over the flour. The crumbs should fall into the flour.
  • Now the kneading begins, by hand or with the food processor. Gradually incorporate the salt water into the yeast/flour mixture.
  • Knead the sugar and olive oil into the dough.
  • Remove the dough from the kneading machine and continue to knead vigorously with both hands for about 10 minutes.
  • As soon as the dough is elastic and no longer sticks to your hands, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise at room temperature for 3 hours.
  • Then let the dough rest in the fridge for 48 hours. Best in a large, airtight plastic container.
  • After the two days, take the dough out of the fridge and shape into balls weighing around 250 g.
  • Then let these dough balls stand again for three hours at room temperature, covered with a damp cloth.
  • Preheat pizza stone.
  • Dredge the dough balls in flour and form into pizzas on a floured surface. Do not use a rolling pin for this, but your hands! Press the dough inside out. Be careful not to touch the edge! The goal is a sheet of dough that is thin in the middle and thick around the edges.
  • Spread the tomato sauce evenly, tear the mozzarella into small pieces and place on the pizza.
  • Original Neapolitan pizza is ready after a good 60-90 seconds.
  • Refine with plucked basil leaves, olive oil and some Pizza&Pasta spice preparation from COOKandGRILL.
  • Buon appetito!!!
