Pizza Margherita (lemmy.world)

Good old margherita.

I use the "pizzeria" flour from the company Caputo.

1kg Flour

600ml cold Water

40g salt

1/4 cube of yeast (or the equivalent in dry yeast, sometimes I use a whole packet)

Pre-Dough

I mix the cold water, salt and yeast and add half the flour (the half is super important)

Then I put a lid or wet towel on it and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (but optimally longer).

You should be able to see that pre-dough do produce get bubbly and produce CO2.

Dough

Then mix the rest of the flour in and knead that thing. Let it sit in the fridge for a day and then make 6 small balls out of the big one and put them into containers and into the fridge.

Oven

Its all about heat.

I use a G3 Ferrari pizza oven. They claim to do 400C (I think it's less) and can be had for like 60-70 €/$ and there are similar ovens from different brands.

My dream electric oven would be a used professional small oven that goes to 480C. I've seen them for 200-400 €

If you're using a regular kitchen oven get a pizza stone for nice results. An outdoor grill also works well with a stone.

Is there a reason you prefer large circles of cheese instead of having it grated on?

That's the traditional italian way. Instead of using hard dry mozzarella that can be grated, you get super soft fresh mozzarella and slice and put on top.
