Neapolitan Pizza Crust
When I am craving a traditional brick oven pizza this is the crust recipe I use.
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Kitchen towel
Ingredients
- 1 tsp dry active yeast
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 ¼ cups 00 flour
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Combine yeast, oil, and water in a small mixing bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl combine both flours and the salt.
- Create a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture.
- Use fingers to combine the ingredients until thoroughly mixed. (about 3 minutes)
- Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Place dough on a floured surface and knead for 3 more minutes.
- Cut dough into two balls and let rest on a floured surface, under a damp towel, for three hours.
Notes
To cook the pizza, preheat the oven to 500° for 1 hour. Stretch dough out to desired shape and top with desired ingredients. Cook pizzas on a pizza stone for 8 - 10 minutes or until the crust is crispy and the toppings are cooked. See my loaded veggie pizza for inspiration.
